This week P5a have been writing short stories and learning to describe in some details , the setting of their story. Furthermore in Mathematics we have completed symmetry and revision of the 4 operations. They are all excited at the thought of the trip to the safari park on Wednesday. We are now hoping that the fine weather continues.

We have inspected the drive since the workmen repainted the car park and the crossings on the driveway. It looks brighter and better now. You can see the crossing for children to cross over and the car park has lines that you can see. The disabled space is now closer to the main door.
We interviewed Miss Davidson about how she organised it. She had contacted lots of people from the council and got someone to do the lines. She thinks it is better and organised.
As the JRSO we like the driveway into school and think this will help with road safety.
We have been working with the PEPASS team, so far we have been focussing on our throwing and passing skills with different balls and this week we were learning some golf skills. It has been good fun! 
This week P5a have planted more lettuce, 🥬 spring onions 🧅 and wild flowers. We are trying to grow tomato 🍅 plants inside! As the children are learning about how to plant and grow vegetables and are still finding out about how to plant a delicate plant like lettuce! So far I am encouraged by their enthusiasm and commitment to looking after the vegetables outside. This is all part of our topic focusing on biodiversity.
Mrs. Jodah
Following our evaluation of last weeks DYW activities, the children realised how important collaboration and teamwork is. To support this in P.E we completed a range of activities which require communication and team work. The children particularly loved the ball pass game and working with blindfolds.
In Numeracy and Maths the children are learning to recognise different fractions in shapes and have been learning to read analogue clocks. We have been supporting our learning with practical and active lessons which the pupils engage really well with.
We had such a great week and as always the children worked very hard. Have a lovely long weekend P3a!
Last week some of the children attended an Air Pollution event at the City Chambers in Glasgow. It started with some interesting presentations on the effects of air pollution on us and why it is important we try to take more action to reduce this. We then got to view displays from other schools showing what they have been doing to try and help improve the air quality in their local communities.
We continued our look at possible career options this week in the creative enquiry room. Children were able to choose which job they would like and get an insight to what is involved. We had lots of eager fashion designers who started by creating a mood board, sketching their design and then making their outfit. We had lots of fantastic results.
Other job options were advertising, builder / architect or environmental scientist. Most of these are still being worked on but there is lots of working together and problem solving happening and it is great to see their enthusiasm .
We finished our week practising our putting and chipping skills in PE.

Primary 6 have been exploring job opportunities, finding our more about different jobs and what they do as well as what skills are required . We have also looked at routes into different careers.
Through our creative enquiry time this week we have focussed on 4 different jobs , investigated what is involved and had a go ourselves. We also enjoyed the careers Fayre where we got to her from lots of different professionals who shared about their jobs.
