P6 Trip to Scotland Street Museum

Primary 6 enjoyed a visit to Scotland Street School Glasgow’s famous museum of education.

Housed in a school building designed by famous Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh the museum gives pupils a taste of what school was like in bygone days.

No talking, no shouting out, no water bottles and very little fun.  A nightmare for the pupils but Heaven for the staff? Not really. Even teachers Mr. Blyth and Miss Munro found the Victorian teacher quite scary!

P6 Cycling Proficiency

A regular feature of the summer term in Newark Primary is the P6 Cycling Proficiency training.

Organised by class teachers Miss Munro and Mr Blyth the children enjoy regular lessons on the theory and practice of riding a bike throughout the term.

At the end of their training the pupils have the opportunity to gain a proficiency certificate.

Residential Trip to Ardentinny

In May the Primary 6 pupils went to Ardentinny outdoor education centre on the West shore of Loch Long.

The pupils took part in a wide variety of outdoor and team building activities and had great fun in the process.

The teachers, Mr, Blyth and Miss Munro agreed that the children’s exemplary behaviour made this one of the best residential trips ever.
