We love to give a compliment and to show kindness to each other. Promoting positive relationships within our classroom and celebrating each other’s uniqueness
Every week we choose someone in our class to be our Pupil of the Week. We share with each other the things we like and admire about that person and then display this in our class for everyone to see.
As part of Maths Week Scotland, we took our learning outdoors today and played strategy games in pairs. Ask us and we can teach you how to play 15s and 3in a row.
We discussed how much the fresh air and sunshine helped us to think !
Primary 5 and Primary 6 had lots of fun at the Dick Institute exploring the Quentin Blake exhibition yesterday followed by an illustrating workshop.
They explored the exhibition, spotting the mistakes that Quentin Blake often made in his work. The pupils found that quite often Quentin Blake would stick a fresh bit of paper over a section of an existing illustration to replace small sections such as the head if he was not happy with what he had originally drawn.
The pupils then participated in a workshop where they were encouraged to draw their peers (dressed up) in the same style as Quentin Blake, using short thin lines, thick lines, messy and quick. They had the opportunity to use a range of materials to draw their illustrations such as ink, quills, charcoal, pens and pencils.
Homework has been uploaded to your Teams page.

Today we were lucky to be taught by a very talented pupil in our class who was able to teach us the skills of animation.

Ask us and we can share our finished animations with you.

School Values Pupil Consultation
P5/6 worked in groups to decide what values they thought were most important to them and to our school community.
As a class they voted on the 4 most important to them as : Kindness, Honesty, Respect and Equity.
