Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.

Primary 4 pupils will be starting music sessions with Mrs Hill after the February break. The sessions will focus on rhythm skills to help prepare pupils for learning a string instrument when they move into Primary 5.
P6/7 read an extract about the Legend of Robin Hood and then had to write a few paragraphs describing what happened to Guy of Guisborne after he chased Robin into the forest ……
This week Primary 6/7 have been busy studying 3 maps of Ochiltree from the past until present day. They were finding where they lived aswell as important local landmarks.
They looked at the legend, grid lines and contour lines.
Emma enjoyed figuring out where the River Lugar went.
P6/7 were looking at different still life paintings by artists. They then drew their own Scottish themed drawings with a cubioid, cylinder and soft piece of material with folds in it. It was a challenging task but they all did a superb job – don’t you agree?

Since September P6/7 have been reading “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling and have studied the text in depth. From each chapter different activities were covered by the children – lots of literacy and origins of language, letter writing, poetry, character studies; science experiments – colour changing flowers, growing cress and predicting results (all children shocked by how wrong they were!); art and crafts – sketching characters, drawing three different eyes, sewing a “sorting hat” from a pattern and many more activities.
To complete the study we intend to watch the film next week and compare it to the original novel. The film is rated PG. Please complete the attached form by Friday 16 December.
