We had a visit from the SPCA. We were told lots of useful information about how to care for animals in the wild and the dangers of pollution.  We also participated in a fun game and a question and answer session.

A big thank you to all the parent helpers who  volunteered to assist with our bikeability level 2 training.  We really appreciate your help.

Today was our assessment and the instructors were very impressed with our abilities. Well done Primary 6/2.

As part of our Caribbean topic we investigated the Journey of Bananas across the Atlantic to our supermarket shelves. After taking notes we had to work in groups to create a new text and present our findings to the class.

Yesterday we had our second bikeability session on the road.  We practised our uncontrolled left turns, controlled right turns and slow down and stop.  We are starting to feel much more confident on the road!

As part of Chinese art week we were taught the skill of Chinese knotting, an ancient tradition in China that represents good luck and prosperity.  We got to look at fabulous examples and then made one of our own.   First we made a wish and put it in an envelope.  We then used our new skill to create the knotting.   Some of us were so fast we even got to create our own bracelet.  Take a look.

Wow, what an experience! Today we had a taster on acrobatic dance.  Everyone enjoyed it and some of the moves were amazing.  Take a look.

Primary 6/2 performed a road safety assembly focusing on safe use of bikes on the road linked to their bikeability training. Everyone did a great job! Well done.

Well done to all of the primary 6 and 7 pupils who performed this afternoon with Scottish Opera – The Dragon of the Western Sea.  They were amazing!  The costumes, the singing, the dancing and the acting were fantastic.

Primary 6 and 7 had a wonderful afternoon practising with Scottish Opera for our performance of The Dragon of the Western Sea.  We were split in to three groups.  The Indian group sang Namaste! The pirates group sang Pirates of Persia and the African group sang Hamjambo! We can’t wait for our workshop and performance.

Primary 6/2 have had a fun filled afternoon.  We learned about the Easter story.  We then created our own eggs using different collage materials.  We decorated our Easter bags and went on an Easter egg hunt!  Two lucky girls found the special Easter treats.
