A huge thank you to all of the parents who came to P4/5 today and helped us with our Gillian Kyle inspired tunnocks artwork. The children loved having you all there and the finished pieces are fantastic! Photos of the children’s artwork have been sent to tunnocks to see!
We were delighted with the amount of parents that came along to support our open event. The children very much enjoyed having parents, carers and extended family members working alongside them in class. Many thanks to everyone who attended and took the time to return our feedback forms. Your suggestions continue to help us further develop our school.
Look at how well P1 are concentrating when learning all about telling the time.
P1 also worked very hard to blend, read and write ch words today.
All children will be dismissed from their normal gates today and not the main entrance.
This afternoon, pupils from Primaries 4, 5, 6 and 7 came to their next block of learning about Sports and the aspects that surround this.
They were learning about First Aid as this is an important aspects to understanding the associated accidents that lead to small and larger injuries. Today, the pupils had the opportunity to learn how to assess injuries, dress injuries to the body and the face, put the arm into a sling, put someone into the Recovery Position and also CPR. This required some problem solving but they all worked very well with each other and also with the resources and equipment that was there for them to use.
As you can see from the photographs, I think that they all consider themselves to be confident First Aiders!

Primary 5/6 pupils have enjoyed learning about different aspects of electricity. As they progressed and deepened their knowledge of the impact that electricity has on their lives and how vital this is in today’s modern living, I taught the pupil’s about circuits and the journey that electricity takes to reach the circuit.
At the end of the block of teaching and learning, the class had the challenge of working out how to build a circuit. Some were to make a bulb light up, whilst others got a fan and a buzzer to work. Some progressed onto adding circuit breakers and even adding more to their circuit to make the bulb even brighter. What an achievement and I am so proud that they were highly motivated and each thoroughly enjoyed the time spent carrying this out.
Today during our Leadership Academy the Pupil Council and Enterprise Committee planned events to raise money for Comic Relief. Details will be given to all pupils next Friday at Assembly.
The boys and girls in this leadership group are planning a Fairtrade event for parents, carers and members of the school and extended community to attend and enjoy. Some children created invitations while others baked Fairtrade banana loaves and carrot cakes which will be frozen and stored until the event!
So far, we have had some fantastic personal choice topics about famous Scots.
From posters to booklets to Powerpoint Presentations. I cannot wait to see some more Primary 4!

Today we wrote poems using repetition about ourselves. Mrs.Fisher then drew round us to create silhouettes to display our poems on. Can you work out who these poems belong to?
