Primary 7 and Mrs White decided to do things a bit differently this year and had their own special assembly which we were all invited along to see. It was lovely to hear about what their dreams are for thirty years from now, and they entertained us with two special songs. They also presented some of the staff with awards!
Well done to all of the winners! A big thanks to the parent council and the staff you were a huge help! A big thanks to the parents for all the support. Thanks for coming and I hope you enjoyed our 2019 summer awards!
Primary 2 arrived into school for a wonderful surprise. We had 5 butterflies who have emerged from their chrysalises overnight! 🦋🦋 We were very lucky to see two more emerge during the day! What a wonderful experience it has been for the children. Lets hope the final three emerge before our holiday weekend 🤞. Photos by Theo (ICT expert)
Primary 1/2 enjoyed taking our numeracy and maths outside into the sunshine. The children investigated the volume of different containers and discussed which containers held more, less and the same. The children also used meter stick to measure the length of different items in the playground to find the longest and shortest items.
Primary 3 thoroughly enjoyed making fruit kebabs yesterday as part of their Health and Well-Being. They used the bridge technique to cut the banana and strawberries. We have been learning about the different foods that you need to eat as part of a healthy diet, including not five but seven pieces of fruit and vegetables every day!

Today the children enjoyed a visit from a firefighter. The children learned all about the different roles that a firefighter has and got to see all of the kit that they have to wear when they are dealing with a fire. The children loved the visit and enjoyed seeing Mrs Lowe all dressed up in the kit, Alfie then got a chance to wear it too. It was very heavy

Over the last few weeks, Primary 4 have been learning about dissolving and are undertaking an investigation into what might affect how quickly a solid dissolves in water. Half of the class have been finding out about how temperature affects dissolving, and the other half have been investigating how the amount of the solid affects how quickly it is dissolved. They had to try very hard not to eat the sugar
