As part of our maths work on money we invited some representatives from Royal Bank of Scotland to explain to us the advantages and disadvantages of using bank cards.

“I learnt that you have to keep your pin number really safe.” Robbie

“You have to be 11 years old to have a bank account.” Tara

“You should cover your hand when typing in your number.” Abby

” I learned that if you forgot your wallet or purse you could use your phone instead.” Lauren

“The black Magnetic strip holds all your bank information.” Andrew S

“There are lots of different kinds of accounts and banking.” Kate McC

We all answered our quiz questions and got a little piggy bank to take home as our prize. Thank you to our helpful visitors for their cooperation.

We are loving our Jacobite topic and have learnt about the Battle of Killiecrankie, Massacre of Glencoe and Sheriffmuir as well as everyday Clan Life and the differences between the Redcoats and Clansmen. We wrote some very moving imaginative diary accounts of the Glencoe Massacre. We  used lots of personal thoughts and feelings.

Miss Brodie has been encouraging us with our painting skills. We have copied “cubism” by Paul Klee.  We shared our art work at assembly and talked about our RME work on Values.

Charlotte, Iona and Kate McC have been busy baking again and raised £32.73 for the Highland Hospice. We loved the delicious range of cakes they took in. Thank you to everyone who supported their sale by bringing in money.

The Sapphires reading group really  enjoyed their book about “Skeletons Inside and Out.” They created a poster of their facts.

Keep up all the hard work Pr 5!
