A massive well done to P7 @ St Ninian’s for planning and running today’s P2 Potted Sports event. They were motivated, organised and encouraging to the younger children. Thank you to Jacqui Byers for her support throughout. P7 are now looking forward to spending £50 on sports equipment, as a gift from Active Schools, for all of the hard work.

A few days after our brilliant trip, P4 wrote all about their experience. Here are some examples of their excellent written work. Didn’t they do a great job. Some of us might become Trip advisor experts!
P4’s terrific trip to the roman army museum and Vindolanda
Excitingly, on Friday 28th of April, me and my class went on a school trip one hour and thirty minutes away in England. I was bored on the bus.
Initially, we arrived at the Roman Army museum. After that, we went in a dark room and had a roman teach us. He was called Villious. Then we went to watch a 3D movie.
Later, we arrived at Vindolanda where we had a talk from a lovely lady called Penny. Penny made us curious because she asked us to guess what room we were in. It was the butchers. Then Penny showed us a cow’s shoulder blade which was used for target practise by the soldiers.
Half an hour later we had lunch and the robins joined us. Then we went to the museum there and then we bought stuff at the gift shop. Then a long journey home!

P4’s terrific trip to the Roman museum and Vindolanda
Excitingly, P4 went on an amazing school trip. First we got on the bus. It was ‘boring’. We eventually got there. The museum was fun. We got to watch a 3d movie. Then we got on the bus and went to Vindolanda. It was awesome! We got a talk from Penny about Vindolanda. In English it means white hills. We went to eat lunch and two robins joined us. We played on the forts and then finally we went home.

P4’s terrific trip to the Roman army museum and Vindolanda
On Friday 28th of April my class and I went to the Roman Army Museum. Before that we travelled on the bus for one and a half hours. Finally we arrived at the museum. First of all we were taught by Vilius. He taught us about Latin. After that we got to look around the museum. Later we got to watch a 3D movie. Later on we got on a bus to get to Vindolanda. When we gor there we went to the fountain. I loved its beauty. Finally, the woman got there and taught us about Roman things and archaeologists. Finally she stopped talking and let us go for lunch!
After lunch I went to the gift shop. I bought a rubbery pen and some rings. After that we went to the museum. It was interesting. Finally we got to play for 10 minutes then we went home.

P4’s amazing trip to Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum!!!
It all started when I got to school. I was just on time. Then we done the register. Then we went outside. We were waiting on the bus. It came eventually. We got on and I got my A4 drawing pad out. After that, I got my Peter Rabbit activity book out. Eventually, we got to the Roman Army Museum.
We went to a little classroom. Villious our teacher gave us a scroll. After that we had a look around. First I was looking at the food. I saw a dead bird. I touched it !!!!!!
We did some cool stuff like there was an arrow and a cool room.
Next, we went to Vindolanda. We met a woman called Penny. We talked about Romans and then we had lunch. After that, we looked at some cool stuff then we went to the museum and gift shop.

P4’s phenomenal trip to Vindolanda and the Roman museum
The bus trip to the Roman Army museum was an hour and a half long. It was worth the time it took to get there. Here is a list of what we did. We were taught by Vilious. Vilious talked for a while boringly. Later we watched a terrific movie. I got a bit of a fright when I saw a tree coming out of the screen. Then we went to Vindolanda.
The fountain which we visited first was beautiful. The stone carvings were fantastic! There was a headless stone woman. Next, Penny came. Penny took us to a Roman butcher’s shop. Then we had lunch. I was so relieved that it was lunch time. Then we went to a fort. The boys were Romans. Then we went home.

We have had another busy and fun-filled day today! The children have taken part in a number of activities including balance beam, high equilibrium, fire building, outdoor laser quest, construct (where the children create their own ropes course), nightline, archery and assault course team games. Tonight all of the children are taking part in scrapheap challenge. Here are some more photos of today’s fun activities.

The children have all settled in and we have already had a busy first night. The children had to get to grips with making their own beds. Then we enjoyed indoor rock climbing and mini Olympics. We also 
enjoyed some delicious hot chocolate to end the night!

Thank you just doesn’t seem like a big enough word for St Ninian’s parents, Karen and Gordon. They have spent months building this enormous mud kitchen for our Nursery children. There are life-like knobs, rings on the hob, washing machine functions, oven shelves and tiles. The children will even be able to pump water into the sink!
I wonder what the children will make of it in the morning…? Thank you so much on behalf of everyone at St Ninian’s.

Congratulations to Sophie in P7 for coming 3rd across the whole Dumfries and Galloway for NHS’ Smoking Matters competition. She was presented with a voucher and lots of goodies by Lisa from Smoking Matters. Look out for Sophie’s poster around Dumfries and Galloway – her poster will be on display on our Wider Achievement board. Look carefully the messages Sophie wants to spread.

As part of our living things topic we have been looking at the senses and how we use them. This afternoon the Primary Three classroom became a sensory haven with things to smell, taste, feel, listen to and see. The sight table included 3D pictures with 3D glasses, magnifying glasses, kaleidoscopes, optical illusions and colour changing slides.
The smell table tested the children’s sense of smell by letting them smell (but not see) lemon, apple, vinegar, perfume and chocolate.
The feel table included small objects hidden in thick socks and the children had to figure out what they were- this was tricky!
Sound bingo tested the children’s ears by letting them listen to lots of different sounds.
Finally the taste table included 4 different flavoured crisps and the children guessed which flavour they were- they were good at this!
An excellent afternoon of investigation and fun. Well done Primary Three.

This is a photograph of all the school’s junk. Primary Three categorised and sorted it into paper, cardboard, plastic and cans. There are 3 dustbins, and 6 bags of junk! Instead of going to a landfill or lying in the street this will all be taken to a recycling centre to be reused. Well done!
