We created Viking brooches using clay. We choose the shape which we wanted and then we added detail to our brooch.  Once our brooch was dry we painted them.

We used our creativity, leadership and focussing skills.

Celebrating our successes today at Assembly. Pupil certificates, Teacher certificates and Star Writers as well as Lancaster as our House Points winners. Well done everyone!

Primary 6/7 has recently attended Dumfries High School for a science afternoon. We were studying whether substances were soluble or not? We got to use Bunsen Burners – which was great! We had a fun afternoon, plus learning all about being safe in a science lab. META skills we used were; communicating, adapting, leading, critical thinking, focusing, feeling and collaborating.

In Primary 7 we all created our own maths games.  We worked in groups and had to base our games on questions relating to fractions, decimals and percentages. We all came up with different themes and designs for our board games. Once we had finished our game we all played our own game and then we swapped games and played each others games.

The meta skills we developed were communication, creativity, collaborating, leadership and focussing.

We all enjoyed this because we worked together!

On Tuesday 10th February the Young Digital Leaders visited every class in the school to share the message about how to remain safe when using AI.

They carried out a variety of activities with children sharing their understanding of what AI is and how to use it responsibly.

Primary 3 continue to develop their meta-skills across the curriculum. Great skills shown during our Creative Dance sessions!

Finn “I collaborated with my team to make up a very good dance. We started in a circle, jumped away from each other, tiptoed  into a line and the we copied the dance moves of one of our team. We then switched the leader.”

Ben “I communicated with my team. I listened and told ideas to my group so we could use them to create a dance to Ghostbusters.”

STEM Challenges

Amyra “I collaborated with my team to make a hut at least 12cm tall and it had to stay standing after a wind storm.”

Finn ” Our group added a working door and it did not fall down. It stayed still for over 5 seconds.”

Children in Need Day

Esme “We gave donations towards Children in Need. We coloured our own Pudsey t-shirts.”

Visit to Lochthorn Library

Amyra “At the library, we got to pick our own books to take home if we had our library card.”

Artwork:

Remembrance Day poppies, The Twits diorama, The Nutcracker

Jack “I illustrated a chapter from The Twits in my diorama. It showed Muggle-Wump thinking of the idea of the Hugtight Sticky Glue and making the Twits go upside down.”

Amyra “I made my diorama showing Mrs Twit floating off to space.”

Zoe “On Remembrance Day, we focussed to draw the poppies in our art. We listened to the poem by John McCrae.”

Euan “I used my creativity and focussing skills to make a Nutcracker and the Mouse King in a snowy wood.”
