All classes from P5- P7 had a visit from the NHS today. They were trained in how to administer CPR. This is an invaluable skill which could be needed one day.

Primary 7 had a visit from a Fire Safety Officer.

We discussed hazards in the home and how to remain safe.

We also discussed how to remain safe in the community and the importance of staying away from derelict buildings.

The Young Digital Leaders ran an exciting after school Coding Club for Primary 4 children.

Primary 7 have been learning about The Scottish Wars of Independence. We have been learning about key events in the timeline and investigating the differences between the Scottish and English armies.

As part of this work we created life-size Scottish and English soldiers.

We went outside to work on our reading activities.

We designed a new book cover for our books and created our own blurb. we then shared a summary and predicted what we thought would happen next. We used descriptive vocabulary to sum up our thoughts on the books so far.

Primary 7 have been learning all about 3D shape. We have constructed models inside and outside, looked for 3D shapes in the environment around us and identified the properties of different 3D shapes.

We transferred some of this work onto Tinkercad using our technology and creativity skills.

We have loved working with the new Lego Spike kits which we were able to purchase as a result of receiving a grant from DRAX.

The children have been able to work collaboratively in order to develop their creativity, teamwork and technology skills. They have constructed a variety of different models and the operated these from the iPads using their coding skills.
