Primary 4/5 and Primary 5 performed in their first ever ukulele concert this afternoon for parents. The children have been learning ukulele with Mrs Popov from Feis Rois this term. They performed 8 traditional songs which were; ‘ Feasgar Math’, ‘Row Row Row Your Boat’ , ‘Oh Dearie Me’, ‘Sandy’s Mill / Michael Finnegan’, ‘Good News’, ‘Tobar Tobar’ and ‘The Rattlin Bog’. Thank you to all parents and carers in the audience! We hope you enjoyed the concert!
Last week P1 had a fun afternoon making junk model dinosaurs with our parents and friends. First of all we sang a song which finished with some audience partcipation and then we got ‘stuck in’ to the enormous pile of junk we collected! Mrs Fitzsimmons and Miss Yousaf were extremely impressed with all our creative models and collaborative work. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the mums, dads, grannies and aunties who came along and supported us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!!
Primary 7C have been busy this term recreating some traditional children’s stories into Scots language. Today P7 developed their presentation skills by sharing their books with the P3s, who were a fantastic audience. Thank you P3 and well done P7C!
Primary 4/5 went on a trip to the Tall Ship in Glasgow. For our first workshop we had to be Marine Archaeologists – finding and identifying artefacts from Titanic.
On the second workshop, we looked at the 12 course menu which was served to First class passengers and created our own versions. We then had to work in groups to set the table for first class guests.
The final part of our trip involved an interesting tour of the ship Glenlee. We had a go at turning the wheel, ringing the bell and scrubbing the deck.
Thank you to the Tall ship staff and to all adult helpers on our trip.
P1 have been learning about healthy eating this term and combined this with their French lessons. We discussed the importance of breakfast and learned lots of food items in French. We have been very keen following the visit of Madam Marolleau who just happened to bring some French fruit marmalade for us! Take a look at all the yummy food we ate!! Of course we had to ask for it in French!
Take a look at this…..
There was great excitement today as Wee Dee Gee visited to say hello to our young people and to give out new water bottles and activity packs. This was followed by the announcement of the results for the recent T Shirt competition, which was judged by our elected councillors. Winners were announced for P1 through to P7 with one overall winner, Primary 5’s Amber Latimer whose design will be made into a real t-shirt for herself and all her classmates. Well done Amber! The other winners were Holly McKerrow, Ryley Morgan, Owen Dornan, Jay Parker Smith, Willow Caldow, Grace McQuarrie.
We have worked really hard on the technique of foreshortening- showing depth and distance in a picture. We imagined what it would be like floating around in space with no gravity to keep us on the ground. We think our astronauts are amazing and every single one was unique! What do you think?
P7 have enjoyed taking part in HE transition this term. Here are a few pictures of our latest session – practicing our food hygiene and preparation skills to make some yummy chicken chow mien!
Over the past two weeks while Miss Carson has been on her travels, Mrs Wixon has been in the nursery covering the topic of People Who Help Us. After getting ideas from the children, we planned some fun filled activities together.
We focused on people who help us at home, in school and in the wider community. We went on visits to the Health Centre and Post Office. We also had a visit from the fire brigade, a first responder, a nanny and also some special people who help us in school.
We had some great learning experiences from this topic and would like to thank all of the people for helping us by telling us how they help other people.
Mrs Wixon
