We have a small group of children in the class who are in a national Maths competition. They have to solve three brain teasing problems all on their own. They have to write down all their working to show how they’ve solved the problems. We got Round 1 results last week and Becca is in the lead. Well done, Becca!

We used the sorting hat and Mrs Breen’s wand to choose our House teams. Our groups for this term will be Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and, of course, Gryffindor!

As part of our Literacy we went to Saltcoats Library. We completed some challenges about the Harry Potter book we’re studying this term and also learned how to find our way round the library. Some of us didn’t realise the many things on offer at the library – Homework club, DVDs, Teenage book section and many other things. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to going back later in the year. The staff were all really helpful and kind. Thank you.

We recently wore it pink when the Charities Thinking Team asked us to help raise money for cancer care.

We all tried our best to join in the fun. All credit to Lewis for being brave enough to wear the pink bow!

We have designed our own products for Arran Aromatics and presented them to the rest of the class.  We named our groups : The 6 Musketeers, The Troops, Beauty Unleashed, Sweet Scentsations and Luscious Lynx. After we presented our products we had a question and answer session which really made us think more about what we are selling. This was a great way to make us think about running a business as some of us would like to do this when we’re older. After our presentation we did a self assessment to comment on how we are getting on. We loved this.

We raised a fantastic £230 at last week’s Macmillan coffee morning. We worked really hard baking, washing dishes, serving and welcoming our visitors. “I’m amazed that we raised so much money,” said Caleb. “We are really proud of what we’ve achieved,” added Emily. “I’m delighted with how mature and hard-working everyone has been,” commented Mrs Breen.

We LOVE using Studyladder especially to practise our rapid recall of number facts. We can also access this at home. Mrs Breen sets us some tasks and when we log on we just click a button and off we go! We’ve also been practising fractions, decimals and percentages!

We are planting daffodil bulbs along our nature trail. It’s hard work but very satisfying.

Hi everyone! We are the P7 class and we are looking forward to our last year at Primary school. We are taking on lots of roles of responsibility – 8 are House Captains : Victoria, Connor, Teegan, Max, Skye, Lewis G, Emily and Josh. We will be running our stationery shop which is open every Friday. Opening times are 8.45am, morning break and lunch break. We will be selling a variety of stationery items e.g. pencils, rubbers, rulers, pencil sharpeners, whiteboards, whiteboard pens, highlighters, number fans, drawing paper, water bottles and many more items. Please come along and do some shopping. Number fans and clocks are on sale just now – prices have been reduced from £1.50 to £1! Great bargain!
