We were very lucky to get a fantastic visit from some real members of Glasgow’s professional Ice Hockey team, The Braehead Clan! They had lots of advice on how to become a professional sportsperson and even more gory stories of broken bones and ice skate injuries! We had loads of thoughtful questions, and they managed to answer them all! We have also been creating some beautiful glittering, sequinned artwork inspired
This week Primaries 3-7 have been working hard to develop their before writing strategies. We have been exploring recount stories.

We had a visit from Jack and James (P7b) to talk to us about ways to save energy by switching off the lights when they are not needed. We thought about times when we should switch off the lights to save electricity and these included: “When we are leaving the classroom!” said Kourtney. “When we are going to sleep!” said Aaron. “When we are using the Smart Board!” said Paige.
