A massive thank you to the Clyde River Foundation for an amazing, hands-on day at Capelrig Burn! P6a had a brilliant time learning all about the aquatic invertebrates and fish living in our local river.

Who knew we had two species of fish living right on our doorstep? We were absolutely delighted to spot both the 3-spined stickleback and brown trout!

Beyond the wildlife, we learned how trees impact the river environment and even practiced sketching our own site maps to help analyse  the habitat. We loved getting our hands dirty, and it is safe to say we have some passionate future stewards amongst P6a. What a great day of learning!

What an incredible Sports Week we have had!

Throughout the week, our pupils had the opportunity to, take part in a karate and judo taster session. It was brilliant to see everyone getting involved, showing focus, determination and lots of enthusiasm.

We also enjoyed a fun-filled World Cup Day, where the children celebrated football from around the globe. As part of this, our class focused on learning about Germany, as are our country in the World Cup draw. Pupils explored key facts, culture and traditions, making great links between sport and learning about the wider world.

One of our favourite moments of the week was our whole-school baton relay. It was so special to see every class come together, cheering each other on as the baton made its way around the school — a real celebration of teamwork and community.

We rounded off the week with our much-anticipated Sports Day.. Every pupil gave their best effort, and we are so proud of them all.

A huge well done to everyone for making Sports Week such a memorable and fun experience!
