Pupils in P5/6/7 recently took on the egg drop challenge as part of their STEM learning. They were asked to create a safe way to protect their egg whilst it was dropped from the top of the stairs to the bottom!
The pupils had great fun with this and created some wonderful designs-most of which were successful! There were mats on the floor…just in case.
Well done to all of our pupils who participated in the very well attended shared start to celebrate our Scottish song and poetry.
It is always wonderful for the the pupils to see the joy on adults faces as they share their learning in such a welcoming way.
P1/2/3 did a super rendition of The Jelly Piece Song, accompanied by Mr Morton on ukulele.
P3/4/5 did a super job ending the celebration with a rousing performance of Loch Lomond.
P5/6/7 sang a beautiful version of Wild Mountain Thyme which was sung with a lot of heart.
All pupils had been set the homework task of learning their Scots poems and performed them well individually or with year groups.
As always, we are incredibly proud of our young people and their enthusiasm. Well done everybody.
Happy New Year to all of our families at North Queensferry Primary. We hope you all had a relaxing but fun filled festive break.
This week we have loved hearing all the stories and experiences of the pupils as they return to begin term 3. There is a lot of great learning to be had this term and we look forward to sharing these opportunities with you all.
Advice to parents and carers
Parents and carers may be concerned about scarlet fever and other group A strep infections. Public Health Scotland has published information about the situation in Scotland.
It can be difficult to tell the difference between a minor illness which can be cared for safely at home, and the small number of infections that are more serious and require specific medical treatment. NHS Inform is a reliable resource for health advice, including how to safely look after unwell children, when to seek medical advice, and what to look out for. In particular:
The premier of our Nativity performance took place yesterday. A huge congratulations to all of our young people for their commitment and enthusiasm during the performance (audience participation wasn’t too bad either!)
A great deal of work goes into these performances and we hope you see that shine through.
We look forward to our final performance on Thursday night at 5.30pm.
Well done everyone!
