On valentines day, we had some quality time reading for pleasure.
We shared our love of books by completing a love heart with some information about a book that we have fallen in love with.

P7 Burns Supper and Scottish Showcase
P7 Led the whole school Scottish Showcase family friends and invited guests. We are proud of Fenwick Primary and ECCs children’s amazing talents.
We were treated to songs poems and dances.
Primary 7 used their leadership skills to host the morning. They also had their own Burns Supper in between where we heard the Selkirk Grace, the haggis was piped in by our talented p7 Piper. We then listened to the Address to the Haggis. Then our laddies toasted the lassies and the lassies gave their reply. Gracie wrote the immortal memory and gave a confident recital of it.
what a talented class we are!
P7 – Teaching P1 to Ceilidh Dance
P.E – Scottish Dancing
We have really enjoyed learning some traditional Scottish Dances. We have learned the Gay Gordons, Flying Scotsman, Canadian Barn Dance, Strip the Willow and Dashing White Sargent.
We have also realised that ceilidh dancing is aerobic exercise!
We decided that we would like to teach our P1 buddies to dance, since they are also learning about Scottish traditions.
We had lots of fun, giggles and tired buddies!
P7 – Scottish Topic
Robert Burns
This term, our focus for learning has been the life of Robert Burns and Scottish languages and traditions.
We have thrown ourselves into this topic and have been preparing to lead our Burns Supper and Scottish Showcase on the 24th January,
We hae been readin ower mony a verse written by Burns an hae learned a guid few words in Scots. At first, they wer hard tae mak sense o’ but noo we hae the hang o’ a fair number!
We are still learning to recite “Tam O’Shanter” by Burns and we are looking forward to performing this at the Burns supper. Some of us are going to try for the poetry competition on the 31st January.
We got our heads together and wrote our own toast the the lassies and the laddies. We had good fun thinking of things to ‘compliment’ each other about.
Gracie was the star writer this week and she will be reading her “Immortal Memory” on Friday.
P7 STEM Event at Loudoun Academy
P 7 STEM Event
We had a fantastic day of learning at Loudoun Academy.
We enjoyed meeting Primary 7s from across our cluster primary schools.
Mrs Ross was extremely proud of how we displayed our school values as we moved around the activities and engaged with respect and ambition.
P7 Book Week Scotland
We loved spending time this week reading for pleasure and learning about how authors create and publish their stories.
We loved learning from Inspector Fleming, PC Rae, Hannah Willow and all our Parent Readers. Thank you to everyone who came along and helped share their love of reading with us.
It was fun sharing our love of books with younger pupils.
We even took part in the St Andrew’s Day Reading Record Attempt with schools across Scotland.
P7 Hallhouse Visit
We were invited to Hallhouse Care Home to celebrate with them as part of their 30th birthday celebrations.
The residents were delighted to have us back and recognised us from our visits in Primary 5.
P7 Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day
Today we walked to Fenwick Cemetery to visit the war graves of two of the soldiers that are named on our War Memorial. We took some flowers and a poppy cross to lay on their graves and remember them.
We were pleased to see that the head stones had been cleaned and taken care of but we gave them a little brush and wash to make sure they looked well cared for.
In school we learned about the meaning of the poppy and created a display as a mark of respect.
P7 Whole School House Challenge
Last week our House and Vice Captains organised a whole school Kahoot Quiz challenge.
They visited every class and organised everyone in to their House Team and set the quiz running.
We hope that the house points will boost the running totals for each house team.
P6/7 Cross Country
Well done to our Cross Country Team who represented Fenwick Primary School at the East Ayrshire Cross Country Schools Event last week.
The team warmed up together, motivated and encouraged each other. They even made up their own cheer leading chant!
We looked the part in our Fenwick Kit!
Each runner gave their best and ran with determination! We were all incredibly proud of their amazing efforts. Well done everyone, what a fabulous team !
