This week we started digging up our garden plot and clearing away all the weeds and litter. It was hard work! But a lovely, productive afternoon spent in the sunshine.
Have a look at some of the weeds we pulled up!

P4D have been busy planning their garden! Each class has been given responsibility of a garden plot that they will plan, plant, grow and look after. We have lots of ideas in the class and have been making plans in pairs. We can wait to get started…there is a lot of work to do!

This is our garden space…

We will keep you updated with our progress!
In P4D we have been developing our gymnastics skills. We have been focusing on forward rolls, backwards rolls, handstands and cartwheels. It has taken lots of perseverance and patience but we have all improved!

On the 22nd January we had a visit from Jane Brown. Jane was the president of the Burns Howff Club in Dumfries and she also ran The Globe Inn for over 20 years. She recited some Burns poetry and shared lots of her knowledge! She answered all of our questions, and there was a lot!!
Jane also brought in lots of Burns memorabilia that she has collected over the years, including her presidential medals.

We have started new learning about Scottish Castles. We looked at the designs of different castles, the defence systems they had and what they are built from. We used a variety of materials to design and build our own castles. Here are some of our designs…


Our P7 Digital Leaders came to our class recently to teach us all about Micro-Bits. We had to connect the micro-bits to our computers and programme messages into them. It was very exciting!
Thank you Hope and Jai!

Recently, we had a visit from our Community Police Officer, PC McClung. She was in to talk all about using social media safely and responsibly, we learned lots of useful information. Thank you, PC McClung!

We had two fantastic lessons from our Digital Leaders recently, they taught as all about Scratch and Robotic Lego. They did a great job and they were so patient and knowledgeable. Thank you, Hope and Jai!
