Scotland’s Next Top Inventor
Did you know that many everyday items were invented by famous Scots? P4/5 have been learning all about these famous inventors and their inventions this week. As part of their homework the children have to come up with their own invention, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
P4 Charles Rennie MacKintosh Keynotes
Today, we worked with a partner to start a keynote presentation using the i-pads about the famous Scottish artist and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We practised how to insert text and images to our presentations and also how to add cool effects! We can’t wait to finish them!

Primary 6/7 have been learning all about the healthy benefits of Mediterranean food. Today they put their culinary skills into action by creating a lemon penne pasta dish with tomatoes, onions, lean bacon and thyme.
P4 Venn Diagrams
Today in maths, the boys and girls created Venn diagrams using hoola hoops and Pokemon cards. We sorted them into categories such as Fire Pokemon, Pokemon with a tail, or both! We are now confident in how to sort and categorise.

After looking at some of Andy Warhol’s work, P1 created their own. Here is a few super examples. The colours look very effective.
Target Games
Primaries 4/5 and 5/6 enjoyed a joint PE session today as they were introduced to the concept of Target Games. After discussing this with the pupils and having a warm up, Mrs Fisher and I decided to introduce a baton relay. This was to reinforce the importance of concentration and hand and eye co-ordination. All pupils really enjoyed this and we found that their existing skills were very good and so future lessons will concentrate on developing and refining their knowledge and skills even further. An exciting block of Target Games ahead for us all!
