March fun in Primary 4

Leave a comment

This term we have enjoyed Rugby sessions with Cumnock Rugby club. We have also had lots of fun learning about the myths and legends from Scotland, we even created our own mythical creature and wrote our own super stories about them. We are enjoying having music sessions with Mrs Hill on a Friday morning and these will continue next term.

Today we voted on our new topic which is going to be the Romans! We took part in an Easter Egg hunt with a maths twist! We had to answer the questions before we could crack the code!

Well done to all of Primary 4 for working so hard this term, we hope all parents and carers were pleased after parents night 🙂

Have a lovely spring break and I look forward to seeing you all back in April.

The Heritage Centre – Cumnock

Leave a comment

Primary 5/6/7 went to “The Heritage Centre” which is based in Cumnock for a visit on Tuesday.

They all had a wonderful time listening to the volunteers explaining what certain items were. The “old” phones and school belt were a “hit”! Many of the pupils were fascinated by the steamroller and the roadman’s caravan.

Leaflets with all the information about the Centre were given to each child after the visit – phone up and arrange a visit!

60th Earth Hour

Leave a comment

Help us change the world this weekend!

Can an Hour change the world?

Just 60 minutes? Yes, just one hour. It may not seem like much, but the magic happens when you, and those like you in Asia and Africa, North and South America, Oceania and Europe – supporters in over 190 countries and territories – all give an hour, creating the Biggest Hour for Earth.

By doing so, this Hour can shine an unmissable global spotlight on nature loss and climate change, and the need to work together to secure a brighter future for people and the planet.

Give an Hour for Earth by spending 60 minutes doing something – anything – positive for our planet.

Beautiful, Beloved Birds!

Leave a comment

P6/7 stitched a felt bird for a special person in their life. They had to learn how to cut a pattern out, pin it on to the felt and then cut it out very carefully.

Buttons were sewn on to the wings and running or back stitches were used to sew the sides together – life skills for the future!

Don’t you think they look bold, bright and brilliant birds?

Farming, Agriculture and STEM

Leave a comment

P5/6 and P6/7 welcomed Farmer Bryce of Mossgiel Milk and Mrs Morton of Morton’ s Milk to discuss all things dairy in the local area.  Farmer Bryce shared information on his own farm, his ancestors and how dairy farming has progressed through the years.  Mrs Morton shared with us the process of milking and all about her computerised farm shop which stocks lots of locally sourced goodies.  We then welcomed Mark from SmartSTEM who showed us an experiment on how to separate fat from milk.  A huge thank you to all of our visitors for taking the time to share their experiences with us.

Mining in Ochiltree with Davie Reid and Brian McGhie

Leave a comment

P5/6 and P6/7 were delighted to welcome Davie Reid and Brian McGhie into the class to talk about their experiences of being miners in Ochiltree.  Davie and Brian brought lots of memorabilia which they were kind enough to let us try on and explore.  They shared stories of what life was like working in the Killoch and Barony pits and what life was like in Ochiltree during the Miner’s Strike.  Pupils loved listening to this fantastic piece of their history and enjoyed asking lots of questions!  A huge thanks to Davie and Brian for taking the time to share their stories with pupils.
