House Event

This afternoon, pupils changed into their favourite pyjamas to take part in the House Event organised by the P7 house captains. Pupils also contributed £1 to fund future events. Everyone had a fabulous time building dens and designing pyjamas. A great way to spend a Wednesday afternoon!

 

Learning Assembly

Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who attended the Learning Assembly today. We have worked incredibly hard to prepare for it over the past couple of weeks. The class performed beautifully and I am so proud of them! Well done Primary 5!

ExPLORE Projects

The Vikings

Primary 5 presented some absolutely amazing Viking projects. We had a very interesting mix of power points, posters and 3D models. Clearly, a lot of hard work has taken place over the last couple of weeks. Everyone got the opportunity to share their learning with the class. Also, we shared our fabulous projects with Primary 6 who were very impressed!

The Vikings have grabbed our attention and imagination. This was evident in the work produced by the children. The 3D models and posters are easier to share in the photographs as they are visual. The  power points were equally as impressive but more difficult to share on this blog. Well done to everyone for completing this project to such a high standard!

The Vikings

Primary 5 are enjoying their new IDL – The Vikings! We are looking forward to going on our school trip to Vikingar, Largs. It will be amazing to see the place where Vikings settled. We are also looking forward to going inside the longhouse, dressing up as Vikings and learning new things.

In class, we have been researching longships and we have designed some of our own. We are very proud of our work!
