Earth hour in school Friday 18th of March at 1pm. Lights out!
Look at what the Nursery have been up to lately!!!!
The Three Reads
We have been using props imaginatively to re-tell the story about Hungry Hettie ( Hungry Hettie: Jo Allan isbn978-0863157790)
We were developing our fine motor skills as we hung out the washing ” I’m being the granny”.
Out of Hours Learning
We have been very lucky this year to offer a variety of Out of Hours Learning activities right across the school. In consultation with the children, some of our more popular clubs have run for two consecutive terms. We will endeavour to continuosly increase the number of opportunities we provide.
In addition, some of our Primary Six children have taken part in a pilot scheme to become Junior Sports Leaders. They have learned how to run a mini- club at lunchtimes and then put this into practise by offering it to the Primary One and Two Children. Currently we have nine children who have successfully participated in the Junior Sports Leaders programme. These children offer activities to children on a Monday and a Friday each week. We plan to roll this initiative out further due to its success.
Some of our Out of Hours Learning clubs include:
Football (junior)
Football (senior)
Netball
Multi Sports
Homework
Eco
FairTrade
International Schools
Rota

Primary 1 learning all about animals through Science
Our focus for science is animals. We have been learning about animals through Glow and using TigTag. Using the smartboard to complete the games and watch the video clips gives us lots of great facts. We have learned about domestic animals, where animals live, how animals move and will be looking at what they eat and the food chain. We even tried to move like some of the animals we were learning about!
New sport strips- thanks to our parents
A huge thanks to Mr Shanks and Mr Watterson who have kindly sponsored our school in order for us to receive new sports strips. Our guests of honour were present at our assembly this morning to see how good our strips look on. Thank you again for all your support.
Growing our own food
Primary 6b have been growing watercress in the Primary 1 classroom because they decided it got the most light. They researched the best environment for growing. They watered the seeds and tracked their growth.
