Primary 6/7 enjoyed learning outdoors today with a Snowman competition in our playground!  We developed communication skills and had great fun in the process!

Demonstrating team work!

The final results!

We had a special delivery of a new camera and microphone to support us with virtual meetings with other classes.  One of our wonderful pupils successfully followed the instructions and installed the new technology on the computer.  Now he needs to show the rest of us how it works!  A great real life skills opportunity!

Today, our Paths Pupil of the Day was complimented on his  super football skills!  The Secret Agents of Elfis also said he is a good friend and skilled at playing PS4 games.  Sparkling  compliments!

We voted for the Christmas themed door for our Primary 6/7 classroom today as part of UNICEF Rights of the Child Article 12 – You have the right to your opinion.  We have created our very own wreath and stockings over the fireplace.  Just what we need to keep us warm on a cold December night!

🎄We are getting into the Christmas spirit in our class with preparations of artwork to share with our community over the festive period.  🌟Our ariel view snowmen are adorable! ⛄️❄️

Our Pupil of the Day for the first day of Advent has received compliments including being a good defender in football, a good friend and funny! 🌟Great comments from the Secret Agents of Elfis. 🎄 Elfis made his comeback today in our class too, we hope he behaves and works hard in our class! 🤞😀

Today, our ‘Pupil of the Day’ was complimented for being kind, smart and having lovely hair by our Secret Agents of Elfis!

We are waiting in great anticipation for the arrival of Elfis tomorrow!

Primary 6/7 timed it perfectly for our walk along the ‘Private Approach’ in the sunshine to spot wildlife today!  We saw the Swans resting in their nest and spotted Deer tracks along the verge.

We popped along the path to the old Curling Rink and even managed a rest there!  We are looking forward to finding out some history of the rink before it was regenerated in 2004.

Once we made it all the way to the bridge, we collected sticks to have some fun with a game of ‘Pooh Sticks’.  Some of us went for logs but realised that they wouldn’t go far!

On your marks!  Get set!  Go!

Great anticipation – whose stick will appear first?

Some of us even managed to camouflage ourselves!

Next week, we will head even further into Craigengillan and pop along to Perkelly at the foot of Ness Glen.  What will we discover next time?

Our Paths Pupils of the Day enjoyed wearing his Christmas jumper today!  🎅🏻🎄The Secret Agents of Elfis said he is great at football, a very good friend and kind.  What lovely compliments!

Primary 6/7 rose to the challenge of adding some Christmas sparkle to our Pupil of the Day, set by Elfis, our elf who will be returning next week! Our Pupil of the Day can wear their Christmas jumpers, are given their very own Santa hat and compliments are shared by our Secret Agents of Elfis! Our pupil today is kind, funny and always tries her best! 🎅🏻 🎄 🌟
