Maths in the Real World
As part of Maths Week Scotland, Primary 7 have been making Clip movies on the iPads about jobs that use Maths to help them. We have found out that there is loads and loads of jobs that use Maths such as chefs, pilots, builders and many more. It was fun creating them and we would love to do it again.

Sponsored Walk 2021
On Friday afternoon the whole school braved the weather and set off up Trindle Green as part of our sponsored walk. We are very lucky to have such a beautiful walk on our doorstep and as you can see from the smiling faces everyone had great fun!
So far our Sponsored Event has raised over £1300! Thank you to all families who have supported this event and helped us to raise such an incredible amount of money. It is not too late to hand sponsor money into the school, if you still have some at home.
Pupil Council Reps
Pupil Council Reps
We are delighted to unveil our new Pupil Council Reps for this year. Our reps were voted on by their peers for their position – well done everybody. We are looking forward to our first meeting with Mrs Kelly this afternoon.
Primary 3 Rocket challenge
The children have been learning about the sun, moon and stars. Their challenge to day was to build their own rocket using only 20 pieces of lego. Next they worked with a partner using 40 pieces of lego to create a rocket that included elements from the rocket they made themselves. The children loved this challenge and worked well together. Many children talked in a positive way to their partner when working together.
P4 – Number Talks
In Number Talks this week, p4 have been applying their knowledge of ‘adding up in chunks’ and ‘friendly numbers’ to help them add 3 digit numbers together.
P5 Health and Wellbeing
Today we enjoyed our first session with Occupational Therapist Jane Ritchie.
The children discussed their feelings, emotional health and well-being.
They created their own Emotion Rainbows.
We are looking forward to Jane’s next visit.

I have included some activities that you can try at home if you wish.

Rainbow writing- The children write out their words using a different colour for each letter.
Playdough- The children can use playdough to make their words.
Lego- The children can build their words out of lego.
Primary 2 Topic
In Primary 2 today we made our own playdough to make a cross section of the tooth. The children worked very hard and developed their teamwork skills to make their own masterpieces.
I think they turned out great! Well Done Primary 2!
P5 Eiffel Tower Artwork
How amazing are these pictures. The children created these over two weeks at art time.
They made detailed line drawings of The Eiffel Tower with black pens before splitting the ink with water to give a nice effect.
They created the background using water colour paints and added paper clouds.
I love them. Each one is different and such lovely colours. They will be mounted and displayed in class. Well done P5.
