Primary 5 were learning about the artist Andy Goldsworthy and were amazed at his outdoor art. They used his work as inspiration to create their own outdoor art using natural materials.
P5 Visitors
As part of our Scotland topic in Primary 5, we were visited by Leah’s mum and a gamekeeper who spoke to us about local wildlife. We really enjoyed hearing facts about the deer in particular. Thank you for offering to come into school. We also had a visit from British Divers Marine Life Rescue who gave us a very informative talk about the important work they do. We especially enjoyed hearing about the rescue of the seal. Thank you for visiting us!

Thanks to Margaret Copp for organising the plants. We do hope the design comes into flower according to the design!

Outdoor Learning in the Upper School
Mrs Graham’s P6/7 maths group ventured outside in the sunshine today to learn all about angles. We created acute, obtuse, right, reflex and straight line angles from shadows our bodies made. We also drew pictures and made group models , finding the angles throughout . Using the cameras , we photographed as many different and unusual angles as we could . Photos to follow!
