GIRLS FOOTBALL TEAM
Well done to our girls who played in their very first tournament yesterday.
We lost two games but won the last game and learned a lot!
We are now in the Championship League and our next tournament is the 18th May.
We are looking for a sponsor for our team as we would really like to purchase strips for the girls, so please contact the school if you are able and willing to do this.
Thank you to Sophie (our fabulous coach) and her glamourous assistant Calum (yesterday’s helper) and to all parents who helped with the transport.

P7- Week beginning 17th April
What a lovely sunny week we’ve been having so far to welcome us back to Term 4!
This week in Numeracy and Mathematics we have been going over how to solve multi-step word problems, with a little help from bar modelling. Many of us found this challenging and it is something we will continue to practise. We have also started a unit of work on time and have revised how to tell the time on analogue, digital and 24 hour clocks.
Our reading and writing has focused on researching for information and making notes in order to write a non-chronological report. Each pupil worked with a learning partner to find out about pandas and then used their findings to present a report either as a PowerPoint, leaflet of word document. Everyone made sure to find information from more than one source.
S.T.E.M took the form of the Mission to the Moon Rocket Competition. The class were challenged to build a rocket using K-Nex and junk modelling materials. There were some rules though: it had to be able to stand on its own, have a window and nose cone, have fins, be at least 20cm tall and display the ‘Clean Green East Ayrshire’ logo. Everyone made a great effort but only some of the rockets made it through the strict success criteria to reach the voting stage.
Well done to Riley, Aiden and Logan who came in 3rd place.
Well done to Millie, Loren and Nevaeh in 2nd place.
Congratulations to Kammy whose rocket was the winning design.
Primary 7 Personal Research Projects: the success criteria and instructions have been given out for this homework task, pupils have had a chance to look at examples and ask questions, it is now up to them to decide what they would like to research for their project. Final projects are not due in until the 24th May, so there is plenty of time to get stuck in and complete the task.
Sports Championships: Over the next 4 weeks we will be training for and carrying out the P6-7 Sports Championships. It would be helpful for pupils to have their gym kits with them daily as there will be some additional P.E sessions to allow all events to be completed.

BOOK FAIR
We have the scholastic book fair in school and books will be on sale next week. Pupils will view the books on Friday and Monday and then there is a timetable (see below) where families can purchase the books. The school then gets a percentage of the funds and we use these to buy prizes for prizegiving or books for the class library.
If you are able to assist with the selling of the books on the Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday or Thursday morning could you please contact the school office. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
The cost of the book can either be paid in cash or by scanning a QR code and apple pay etc can be used.

P4S w.c. 17.4.23
Good morning Everyone,
I hope that everyone is well rested after a super Easter holiday and that you have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
Our first week back has so far been busy with a fun outdoor activity on Monday afternoon where we built some rockets using twigs for the East Ayrshire Trip to the Moon competition. Thank you to those of you who collected twigs for us.
In Numeracy this week, we have been learning more about the coins which we use everyday here in the UK and also the four main monetary notes which we use most frequently too. We have been using our amazing addition and multiplication skills to work out how many coins we would need to pay for items with specific price tags. In particular, we have been trying to find the fewest number of coins needed to pay for the items. It has been very interesting to see how familiar pupils are with coins because there are so many reports now of people using cards to pay for our shopping these days instead of notes and coins.
In Literacy we have been learning about Summarising and read the next two chapters of our Class Novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to practise our new skills. Summarising is not easy to achieve and over the next few weeks we shall continue to practise this skill.
Under the amazing guidance of Miss Gibson, pupils continue with their Lego Challenge and this week there has been some coding involved which I am sure they will be most excited to tell you about.
For now I wish you all a happy Thursday,
Best wishes,
Miss Steedman
