Primary 4’s Week
Primary 4 have been working very hard all week.
The boys and girls have been learning more about the Titanic and designed the ship using Word at ICT time. We chose whether we were a 1st, 2nd or 3rd class passenger and packed a suitcase with what we would take on the maiden voyage. Our wall is looking fabulous. Don’t you agree?
We are working hard on our tables and played a new game using a beach ball. It was lots of fun and helped us learn our tables.
To finish off our week, we discussed what our ambitions are and wrote about what we want to do when we are older.
Well done, primary four, you have all worked so hard this week.
Have a well deserved, relaxing weekend.

Healthy Choices in Primary 1
We sorted food into 2 groups after watching a powerpoint about Healthy and Unhealthy foods. We worked together and explained our choices to the class. We can make good choices when it comes to food now. We know what we should eat lots of and what we should keep as a treat!
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
Pupil Council
