Primary 6 were peddling hard on Thursday to make smoothies for everyone to drink. The smoothie drink is designed to teach pupils about alternative sources to electricity to make smoothies. The smoothies were worth it though.

Primary 6 took part in The Big Burns Supper Lantern Making Workshop. It was fun and messy! We used lots of our STEM skills and META skills. Some of us took part in the parade and some went to watch. Here are some photographs of our afternoon making lanterns.

Primary 6 have had a busy 3 weeks since coming back from the Christmas holidays.  It really has been a case of ‘hitting the ground running’.

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.

Johnathon from Big Burn Supper came and showed us how to make Lanterns for the Big Burns Supper Parade (Sat 18th January 25)

Lots of parents came and supported their child with some wonderful lanterns being created.
