P5/6 Buddy Visit
P5/6 had a great first visit to the ECC to meet their buddies. The children had a lovely outdoor session and enjoyed exploring the different experiences in the playroom. A first step to forming positive relationships, whilst having lots of fun.
P5/6 Hampden Trip
What a great day P5/6 had at Hampden.
The children took part in a football skills challenge focusing on developing shooting, passing, and dribbling. Well done to our P6 pupil for winning the shooting challenge scoring a whopping 46 mph goal.
We had a tour of the Hampden stadium, changing rooms, and referee room. What a great experience getting to walk through the dug out and stand on Stevie Clark’s spot at the side of the pitch.
Finally, we completed a quiz around the Scottish Football Museum focusing on our knowledge of the Scottish Cup and other football facts. We even managed to find some Fenwick tartan.
Thank you to Hampden and The Scottish Football Museum staff for delivering such an engaging and enjoyable trip for our pupils. We had a great time!
P5/6 IDL
P5/6 used the laptops to research the Scottish Cup Archive. The children focused on popular Scottish Cup matches, finals and goals scored by key players. The children gathered key facts from the Scottish Cup going back 150 years.
P6 C.S.I Workshop
Our Primary 6 pupils took part in a C.S.I workshop ran by Ayrshire College. The children took part in different activities based on different suspects in the case of the missing sweeties.
Thank you to Ayrshire College for delivering this workshop to our pupils, they absolutely loved it!
Poetry Competition
Well done to our three finalists that took part in our school Poetry Competition.
An excellent recital of ‘The Ballad of Janitor McKay’ by Margaret Green.
Mr Houston’s Birthday Celebrations
P5/6 helped Mr Houston celebrate his special birthday. The class took part in a ‘Birthday Bullseye Bash’ and competed in a darts competition. One of Mr Houston’s favourite sports.
Well done to our P5/6 boy who won the Bullseye Bash with a total score of 640!
P5/6 IDL
During our topic “150 Years of the Scottish Cup”, the boys and girls in P5/6 developed their mapping skills by locating the football teams involved in the Scottish Cup on a map of Scotland. The children used digital technology, including an online map and an atlas, to find each team and then pinpoint their locations on a blank map.
P5/6 IDL
P5/6 have been learning about 150 Years of the Scottish Cup. The children studied the Scottish Cup trophy, learned about the symbolism behind the engravings and ‘the wee man at the top’ and then created their own trophy which represented them, with symbols relating to their hobbies and interests.
P5/6 Christmas Celebrations
The children in P5/6 received a ticket for Whoville where they had breakfast and watched the Grinch.
