Primary 7C have been learning how to blog this term and have made an excellent start to their own personal blogs. Miss Clendinning is very proud of the effort and standard of the blogging entries so far this year and is sure the High School will love reading them as part of the P7 transition process. Well done P7!!

Here we are, hard at work!!

Note to all P7’s – please make sure you share your blogs with your parents and don’t forget… if you are doing anything exciting in the holidays or have any wider achievements from outside school please email pictures to yourself so that we can update our blogs after the holidays!! Thank you!! Happy Holidays!

Primary 4/5 enjoyed a ‘roaringly’ great trip to Dino Park! They enjoyed sharing the knowledge they’d learnt in their Dinosaur topic as well as learning some fun new facts. Activities they took part in included: Dino Walk and Quiz,  Guess the Dinosaur Game,  Dino Craft,  Bouncy Castle, Dig for Fossils, Mystery Wall, Tree House Play, Enchanted Fairy Woodland and Dino Shop.

Today has been a very busy day for P7, with lots of exciting and challenging activities. Here are a few snaps showcasing some of our highlights from today – 3G Swing, Nightline, Jacob’s Ladder, Shelter Building and much more…..

The  children have been practising their sports with Mrs Carson all term; they took the opportunity to show off their skills during sports day.  Thank you to all the children for being super participants and thank you to everyone that came to support the children, we hope you all agree that it was a lovely day.

On Tuesday 10th of May P5/6 had our own Japanese Green Tea ceremony outside in the sunshine of the playing field.  We all tasted the Matcha green tea powder and followed up with Mikado chocolate sweets. We really enjoyed ourselves and now know the importance behind this ceremony for Japanese people.

Our topic in Primary 7 this term is ‘Choices for Life’. Throughout this topic we are learning about how to make safe and sensible choices in life as we grow up and move on to high school.

This week we experienced our first of four sessions of PARTY from Youth Alive (Providing Alcohol Related Training for Young people). These sessions are designed to help us to develop our understanding and awareness of how to stay safe when faced with the decision of drinking alcohol.

This week we learned about units of alcohol. We learned how many units are recommended on a weekly basis for an adult and learned about ‘love your liver’ days. We each had to guess what one unit of vodka looked like in a glass before Ali showed us an exact measurement!! Many of us were VERY far off with our guesses!!

At the end of the session we each were given a mocktail to try. This weeks mocktail consisted of lemonade, orange juice and grenadine sugar syrup! Yum!!!

We are really looking forward to next weeks session already!

Primary 4 worked in groups to research information about Titanic Crew members as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers. They created posters and each group gave a presentation to the rest of the class to share their learning.  They all learnt lots from each other! Well done.
