What an exciting week!

Our Primary 7 pupils who are going to be attending Loudoun Academy after the summer have had a super introduction to secondary school this week.

It is always a little nerve-racking to go somewhere new, to meet new people and have a change of routine, however, this week our Primary 7 pupils took everything in their stride and gave their all to engaging in the transition days.  Some favourite subjects seem to have been Art, Home Economics, P.E and Science. It has been great to see their confidence grow over the three days and new friendships beginning to form between the schools.

We have also been busy in the classroom.  On Monday, we looked at how to write an inspirational speech about climate change – this forms part of the work required for the Primary Engineer STATWARS project.  Everyone did a great job! Next week, pupils will work in their groups and use their ideas to create one speech as part of their climate change campaign.

In preparation for moving on to ‘big school’, we also spent some time thinking about the people in our lives who provide support when we need it.  Everyone was very creative and drew their own personal solar system to represent their support network.

Next week, we will complete our work on climate change, learn some new outdoor games and look at information handling and order of operations in Numeracy and Mathematics.

Have a lovely sunny weekend!
