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?

A magical day at Ochiltree Primay School ……………..
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.
Thank you.
Primary 1/2 have been learning to tell the time.

Last week was National Recycling Week and we have decided to celebrate by reintroducing the recycling of crisp bags in the school. If you would like to recycle your crisp bags from home, please send them in with your child and they can put them in the recycling bin.
This session we have decided also to collect metal bottle tops and ring pulls from cans, e.g., any bottle top that requires to be open with a bottle opener. Please also send these into school for recycling. These will then be sent onto Isla Dog Rescue.
Thank you for your continued support.
Well done to everyone who dressed up today in their bright clothes so they can be seen in the darker nights.
If you have not already done so, please complete the online form below so that your child can take part and be filmed during the upcoming events.
Thank you.
