Science and Gravity

We have been looking into theories of historic figures, Newton, Einstein, Galileo and Aristotle. Carrying out an experiment and having lots of discussions led to differing thoughts and opinions around gravity.

We had one bottle full and another half full with water which meant both bottles weighed different amounts. Which one hits the ground first? IMG_0337

Book Week Scotland event at NRPS Friday 21st Nov

 We are  delighted to announce that we have been working in partnership with Sarah from the Book Nook, Stewarton and we will be bringing two of our favourite children’s authors to our school on Friday 21st Nov 11am for an event for all p5-7 children.
Martin Stewart is a former English teacher who has been a full-time writer for ten years, writing for both adults and children. He runs many sessions for school children which are varied and engaging, helping promote reading for pleasure and the pursuit of creative ambition. He will be talking about two of his children’s book series which feature the popular characters of Bridget Vanderpuff and Sandy Fin.
Lindsay Littleson, also a former schoolteacher and now full-time writer, has had ten children’s books published, all of which are Book Nook favourites. Lindsay also loves doing school events, saying ‘it is a real thrill to encourage a love of reading and to inspire children to write their own stories’. Lindsay will be focusing on two recent books, ‘Ice Cream Boy’ and ‘Euro Spies’, both of which are Book Nook favourites.
You will be able to buy any/all of the books for the event in The Book Nook or from our online shop here https://www.booknookstewarton.co.uk/shop/nrpsWe recognise that increased costs of living can make it difficult for some families to afford books for their children. If you feel these circumstances apply to you, we can provide books funded by our Judith Illsley Memorial Fund.

Wellbeing and Self Care

Something a little bit different for P.E for us. P6GM were fortunate to have the opportunity to experience some yoga and wellness sessions. We were thinking about how to support our own wellbeing through mindfulness activities and yoga poses and positions. We left feeling calm and relaxed.

Bannockburn Visit

Primary 6 enjoyed an excellent day at Bannockburn. It was amazing to experience the history and interactive exhibits based on our Scottish Wars of Independence topic.
it was LOVELY to hear such positive feedback from the National Trust staff who were incredibly impressed with the children’s knowledge and level of engagement.
We are very proud of all the children who  represented our school so well!!
