November is proving to be a busy month so far. We have enjoyed celebrating the 1960s as part of the school’s 60th anniversary event.  We have also been learning about the significance of Remembrance Day and had another session with our Buddies in P1. Children in Need was also a fun event where we helped to raise money for a great charity. Lastly we have now started our rehearsals for our Christmas Concert which will be happening in December.

1960s 🎸
We spent the morning researching and learning about life in the 1960s. We worked in trios and used the Chromebooks to gather our facts and then displayed our information on posters and then presented them to the class. We also enjoyed a silent disco in the hall and took part in the slosh with the whole school!

Remembrance Day

We have been thinking lots this week about Remembrance Day and why we have it. We have been learning about the traditions our country upholds to respect those who have been injured or killed in conflicts around the world. We have also been learning about the significance of the poppy and learning that as well as the red poppy poppies are sold in other colours too such as purple ones to remember animals who have been used in wars.
We took part in a whole school silence to remember the dead and we made infographics to display our knowledge. We also worked with Primary One and shared with them some facts about Poppies and created some poppy art with them.

Children in Need

Finally on Friday 14th November we enjoyed wearing our pyjamas to school. We took part in some fun activities in the hall and visited the toy sale in the ICT Suite to grab some bargains.
