Some snaps from our Christmas party on Monday 12th December. We all had a really good afternoon celebrating with Primary 7!

We played games and some of us showed off our dance moves!

Some members of our class play a brass instrument. They came round each class to showcase a Christmas tune which they had been learning – Jingle Bells!

“I feel like I have developed my skills in the trumpet quite well give the fact that I haven’t been playing for that long.” Chloe B

“I’m really excited because I have just switched from trumpet to trombone. I am really enjoying my new instrument.” Sophie

“I really hope to continue playing my instrument when I go to high school. I’d like to join one of the high school bands.” Carrie

“Practising took a while but I worked as hard as I could and I think I have done well. Our teacher is really good at coaching us. I’d like to carry on playing when I go to Auchenharvie.” Olivia

This is us looking fabulous in the costumes we wore for our Christmas show – Cinderella and Rockerfella!

On Wednesday we were lucky enough to have a visit from some players from the Glasgow Rocks Basketball Team. They taught us about the dangers of smoking, healthy eating, bouncing back after a tough time and we also got to try out some basketball skills.

“I thought the session was excellent. It’s inspired me to play more basketball.” Kristopher

“I enjoyed it when the players gave us Glasgow Rocks badges for answering questions correctly.” Thomas

“I was really amazed to see some professional basketball players.” Alistair

“Now that I know how bad smoking is I’m definitely not going to try it.” Kacie

“I enjoyed learning how to develop some basketball skills.” Ailie

“I found the experience very educational and great fun!” Abbi

“I won tickets to a Glasgow Rocks game for taking part in a challenge they gave us. I’m really excited to go and I’m going to take my friend Jason with me.” Dylan P.

This week Carrie was awarded a certificate for being a finalist in the literacy art competition. We were all delighted for her!

“I was really happy that I was a finalist. My Mum and Dad were very proud of me.” Carrie

The stage is set, our lines and learned and the costumes are prepared! Our dress rehearsal was a success and we are ready for the show!!!!!

Some pictures from our dress rehearsal.

This we were developing passing skills while moving. We worked in groups to pass the ball correctly while communicating with the person we were passing it to.

Lewis attended Mrs Muir’s cross stitch club. He created a cross stitch design of a Christmas present.

“We worked in groups to make up questions for another group to answer. We were provided with an information sheet about the history of electricity. We were try to develop skills such as working in trios, communication, questioning and handling different types of information.” Owen

“I learned some new facts about electricity which I found interesting.” Afton

“My group found it quite difficult to communicate effectively.” Alistair

” I enjoyed working with other people because we were able to bounce ideas off each other and develop listening and talking skills.” Emma

In maths, we were learning how to estimate, measure and draw angles using a protractor.

“We know about reflex, acute, straight, right and obtuse angles.” Paige
