Well done Primary 2 you all made fabulous bonnets. Every child had to mix their own colours, paint on their own design and add any additional details themselves.
P2 Sharing the Learning Assembly
Well done Primary 2, the assembly was superb! Everyone who volunteered to speak did really well especially when using a microphone which is really tricky.
Here is a few photographs. We had a keen P7 photographer, who tried to get a picture of everyone speaking or singing!
Thank you to all the parents who were able to come along this morning.

Whole School Homework
This week’s Whole school homework is fun reading activities that will encourage us to get reading and fill in our First Minister’s Reading Challenge booklet.

Walking Wednesday
As part of our preparation for Easter, all pupils will be offered an opportunity to attend the 8am mass on Wednesday mornings (27th). Pupils can then walk to school with school staff. Miss Mckay will be walking back on the 27th March and would love if P2 could join her. As this is also the day of the P2 Sharing the Learning assembly it’s the perfect day for families to join us for the mass and walk back.

Sumdog Competition

Fairtrade Talk
We had a visitor today in Primary 2 to tell us a little more about our topic, Fairtrade. One of our parents, Mr Mariner, is an employee of Co-op supermarket which sells a large range of Fairtrade products and is involved in many Fairtrade projects.
He told us about the lives of farmers and their families in other countries, and how we can help them by buying the Fairtrade products they produce.
He brought with him a selection of Fairtrade products his supermarket sells such as tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate, bananas and even cotton wool.
As a treat for listening to his presentation so well he gave all the children a cookie with Fairtrade chocolate chips and a Fairtrade banana each to take home.
British Science Week
Journeys and Transport was the theme for 2019. In a nod to Science week Primary 2 were provided opportunities to think about different transport, from trains, planes to spaceships. Here is what they got up to…

A big well done to the children who spoke about Fairtrade,speaking in front of a large group of people can be very intimidating but they all showed they are Confident individuals.
