The boys and girls in Primary 3 had a terrific time at Wishaw Sports Centre today. They enjoyed a carousel of indoor and outdoor activities such as rugby, football, tennis, dance and taekwondo. Well done boys and girls!
What’s On – Week Beginning 29th February
Room 6 IDL work
This week the children have done lots of interesting and active work, learning about the Human Body. In Art, we made our own ‘Funnybones’ skeletons, using artstraws.
We used books and videos to research the skeleton and labelled all the major bones, using the technical names! Watch out for our bones challenge in the next week as well as naming our very own resident skeleton.
We moved on to look at the major organs within our bodies and had lots of fun finding out about where they are and what they do. We then placed them in the correct places using an organ apron.
We then exercised our bodies outdoors, enjoying fresh air and were learning new playground games that the children can use independently on their breaktimes.
We are really enjoying our new topic and are looking forward to sharing our learning at our class assembly on the 11th March.

Head Teacher’s Award
Well done to our brilliant and talented pupils who were nominated for Mrs Hunter’s Award this week. You are all stars !
Primary 7 Road Safety Performance
Primary 7 thoroughly enjoyed their Road Safety performance yesterday afternoon.
The performance emphasised the importance of staying safe when walking to school. The characters in the play showed how easy it was to give in to peer pressure and act silly near traffic. The children soon realised how silly behaviour can have a huge impact on their lives – for all the wrong reasons.
Why not ask us what we’ve learned?
Book Swap – Primary 7 Room 7
Similarly to our Readathon, Primary 7 were excellent role models during our Book Swap activity, which we shared with
The children read beautifully to their younger peers and really modelled how fun reading can be. The younger children were so engaged during this experience, and lots of happy faces left the hall.
Primary 7 Room 7 Readathon – Book Week
Primary 7, Room 7 thoroughly enjoyed sharing their Readathon time with Primary 1. We took some time to work with our Buddies, helping them to read and enjoy lots of different books. We asked questions about the characters, settings and plots and encouraged the Primary 1 children to read as much of the book as possible, helping them with the more tricky words if necessary.
We also read some of our own, more challenging texts to allow the children to see what we get up to in Primary 7!
Have a look at our photos to see how much fun we had!
