P7’s Sharing the Learning with P1F
Last week P1F were visited by a group of talented writers from P7 who entertained them by reading their own version of the Gruffalo in Scots. P1 really enjoyed it and they also loved their illustrations. P1 then decided to entertain the P7’s by reciting the Scots poem they had learned! Thanks P7 and please come back soon!
Gymnastics Exam
Thank you to the three girls who attended my level 1 gymnastics exam with me today at Lochmaben. They were a fantastic support and a credit to the school.
Code Club fun!
Our Code Clubbers enjoyed another busy session at Code Club this week. Keira, Aimee, Millie, Logan and Aaron used code to create their own ChatBot animations. Murdo, Orla and Heather were coding to create their own Dodgeball game. Our Micro:bits arrived so Orla and Heather also investigated how to make their own interactive badge using these pocket-sized computers! Mrs Duncan even popped in to play the animations and games. Mrs Dyson and Mr Muirhead are amazed each week with how well our Code Clubbers are collaborating and progressing. Well done everyone!
