Primary 5/6/7 Storytelling
Last week, Primary 5/6/7 were working with Mrs Young on how to write a short, Christmas, narrative story for young readers. Today, Primary 1 – 4 were fortunate enough to hear some of these stories during a storytelling session led by Primary 5/6/7. As you can see, the children really enjoyed getting the chance to hear some of the stories and see their illustrations!

Primary 3 – 7 Visit to Dynamic Earth.
On Wednesday, Primary 3/4 and Primary 5/6/7 went to Edinburgh on an educational visit to the Scottish Parliament and Dynamic Earth. Both classes have recently been learning about Space and were able to apply and extend their knowledge through a space workshop. Here the children were involved in designing space rovers for different planets and moons and they had the chance to present their designs to the rest of the group.
Whilst Primary 5/6/7 were at the Scottish Parliament, Primary 3/4 enjoyed exploring Dynamic Earth and were lucky enough to get covered in foam during their 4D video of the Arctic! Miss Ross certainly did not expect it!

Craig Mathieson Visit
Today we were very fortunate to have Scottish Polar Explorer and our House Ambassador Craig Mathieson in to visit our school. He taught us a lot about the animals that live in the Arctic and Antarctic and what it is like being a Polar Explorer. We also got the chance to try on some of the clothes that he took with him on his expeditions! We wish him good luck with his Polar Academy and will be keeping in touch with him via Twitter!
