Another fabulous trip to the Farm Park. The kids were fabulous and we certainly enjoyed cooling down in the water whilst enjoying the fabulous sunshine. All the children who attended have come home with a voucher for a free return visit. Hopefully some of you will be able to take advantage of this during the summer holidays.
P7 and their buddies had a fun filled morning in the sun building dens, eating ice-poles and nibbling cookies. A final play before they wave goodbye to each other as our P7s head to S1 and our P1s make their move to P2.
What a busy week full of amazing activities! A huge thank you to Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Hasson for arranging it all. We had a blast!
What a fantastic day we had celebrating our wonderful P7s. Adventure golf, ten pin bowling, McDonald’s, Escape Rooms and fun in the Arcade – all packed into our day. Today was made possible due to their hard work and determination during our enterprise activities this year – well done! Click the link to see some snippets of their day.
We had an amazing visit from Paralympian Jonny Paterson today. We took part in a fitness circuit with him and the rest of the school to raise money for sports equipment. We found out all about his inspiring journey, being a football player with cerebral palsy. He answered loads of our questioned too. What a great afternoon. Click the link to view the action.
It’s been a short but busy week in P7. On Tuesday we played round 2 of our Chess Championship and it’s getting very exciting. Well done to those who are through to round 3.
On Wednesday we went to an assembly for the big reveal to find out what athlete is going to be visiting us in a few weeks time. Then we went outside to participate in the 100m sprint as part of our Sports Championship.
On Friday, as part of our transition programme, we wrote a letter to Mrs Anderson at the RBA to tell her about ourselves.
We look forward to hearing everyone’s Big Talk presentations next week.
We’ve had a busy week in P7 starting our new subjects and topics for the final term.
In maths we have been learning about percentages and here are two fabulous examples of the work we have been doing. Well done to Alfie and Poppy for setting their work out so beautifully.
In writing, we started our unit on Persuasive Writing and we had to write short, persuasive texts giving our opinion on a certain topic and reasons to back it up. Here are two fabulous pieces of work from Leighton and Brooke that showcase wonderful, mature vocabulary and well thought-out opinions.

Talks should be ready to be presented the week beginning Monday 11th May.
I can’t wait to hear your talks!
The weather looks superb for our residential later this week. That means that we will be able to take part in some water sports. Please make sure your child has swimwear for under their wetsuit packed. Please make sure this is a one piece swimsuit for girls.
