Gala Day 2015

On Saturday the 30th of May Wemyss Bay community came together at our annual Gala Day. Wemyss Bay Primary presented a Fair Trade stall to sell and promote our Kilombero rice. We managed to sell 28 bags as well as Fairtrade tea, coffee and snacks.

Here is a photo of our stall in action…photo 1

Thanks to Hollie, Lewis, Nicholas, James,  Jamie, Andrew, Josh, Ayla and all our adult helpers – what a success!

A fun day had by all!

Inverclyde National Training Centre 2015

P6 School Trip 2015

P6  visited Inverclyde National Training centre in Largs to develop our skills in a range of sports. These are some of the sports we participated in. The first day we participated in orienteering, archery and gymnastics events such as high bars, low bars and the rings. We also developed our trampolining skills and learned various jumps including the seat drop. During our next session we learned the rules and how to play table tennis, badminton, handball and basketball.

This was a great opportunity to learn different sports and use  professional equipment that famous athletes train with. We learned from experts and challenged ourselves by trying new activities and pushing ourselves to the limit!

TEAM WORK IN P6!

In Wemyss Bay Primary we celebrate Grandparent’s Day each year. Our families visit  our school and take part in our co-operative learning activities. This year we made pom-poms developing our technology skills and turned them into spring chicks and Easter bunnies.

We also took our learning outdoors and created bird feeders by measuring our ingredients and using fractions.

We celebrated our learning by singing to our families in the afternoon over tea and coffee. It was a successful day which was enjoyed by all!
