Following our recent consultation with pupils, families, staff and other partners we are delighted to tell you that our chosen values are:
Monthly Archives: September 2017
Great Hillhead Bake Off
Congratulations to P3/4 and Mrs Harper who won our first ever Great Hillhead Bake Off with their apple filled cupcakes. Every class worked hard to make a variety of apple based tasty treats with apples from our very own orchard. Paul Hollywood would be proud!
 
Cross Country
A massive well done to our P6 and P7 Cross Country team who all performed extremely well to at The Ayrshire Athletics Arena. We even managed to get a 3rd place in the P6 Boys event. 
P6-Spaghetti and Marshmallow Challenge
As part of our Natural Disasters topic, we created buildings from spaghetti and marshmallow that we hoped could withstand a ‘table-shaking’ earthquake. Each team had a budget and each item had a price so we had to think carefully about the materials we needed. Our project Manager was responsible for the materials, the Treasurer was responsible for the budget, the Architect designed our structure and the Technology Director did the research. Afterwards, we tried out our structures to see if they could withstand an earthquake!
P6 Literacy-Spelling
Each week, we take part in different Spelling activities to help us learn our words. This week we were using plasticine in creative ways, sign language, spelling activity cards and stencils. We mix it up each week to give us a chance to try new ways of learning.
P5 Class Dojo
We have been using Class Dojo to help us understand how we learn. This has helped us to be more confident in trying new challenges and accepting that sometimes we need help from others to succeed. We have created PowerPoints on this as we wanted to be able to share this information with others.
September Weekend
We are closed on Friday 15th and Monday 18th for the September weekend. Have fun everyone!
School Photographs
Tempest Photography will be in school on Thursday 14th September to take individual and family group photographs. As normal full school uniform should be worn. Thanks.
