Congratulations to our swimming team, who represented our school on Saturday at the Citadel in Ayr. All the children swam brilliantly and made us feel proud!
P5E were learning about the importance of Remembrance Day 2018 and designed medals in honour of those who fought in the war. They all made a super effort and created lovely designs. Miss Ellis was delighted with their hard work and creativity.
We had a very successful ‘Welly Wednesday’ phoneme hunt! We were looking for things which contained the phonemes ‘ck’ and ‘ai’.
We were very lucky to begin our hunt by spotting the most beautiful ‘rainbow’. By the end of the hunt we were very ‘mucky’ but we had so much fun!
Sophie in P5B won 2 Bronze medals on Sunday 4th November at Bellahouston Leisure Centre in Glasgow in the City of Glasgow Gymnastics Club Floor & Vault Competition. Sophie won one of her medals in the team event and went on to win overall for the floor and vault competition.
Well done Sophie, we are all very proud of you!
