To continue to promote a love of Reading for Enjoyment, we would like to invite our learners to take part in the Reading Challenge “NRPS Febru-read!!!” We have a challenge for P4-7 and a challenge for P1-3. If your child would like to take part in a challenge, they can let their teacher know and they will be given a challenge sheet which will allow them to take part. We will make time at our Personal Achievement Assemblies to celebrate learners who take part.
Maths Game Madness!
P6/7D rounded off our Multiples, Factors and Primes block of learning with a Games station rotation. Pupils enjoyed the interactive, competitive and collaborative way of consolidating their skills!
Robert Burns’ Day
Last week we celebrated Rabbie’s birthday, not wi traditional haggis, neeps & tatties, but wi a selection o other Scottish ‘delicacies’. P6/7D tucked intae tattie scones, shortbread, Tunnocks tea cakes and caramel wafers, tablet, oatcakes and Scottish cheddar, and even some toasted plain breed! All washed doon wi an Irn Bru! Our guitar group provided the entertainment and performed Auld Lang Syne. No Scotland, no party!

Our friends at John Knox Church visited P6 on Wednesday to lead a workshop around the true meaning of Christmas. We worked in groups to put together the story of the first Christmas and made a craft to take home for our own Christmas Trees. Thank you, John Knox volunteers!

Road to RIAT STEM Challenge
Recently P6 & P7 were involved in the Road to RIAT challenge in collaboration with the Royal Air Force. We were given a challenge to design an aircraft having looked at the features of existing aircraft. We were asked to focus on sustainability in our designs and we enjoyed crafting gliders and testing their speed!
Mexican Fiesta!
P6/7D had fun last week at our Mexican Fiesta, linked to our Book Week Scotland novel, Esperanza Rising!
We played Loteria (Mexican bingo), a Bean Challenge and sampled some Mexican cuisine while listening to traditional Mexican music!
Library visit
Thursday of last week saw us brave the rain to visit our local library. We had a good browse around before selecting one to take home. Remember, our date for returning these is 4th December!
