Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 have had a great day learning all about the Titanic. They had the opportunity to dress up in authentic period costumes and dramatise different roles within the titanic – such as stewardesses, engineers, firemen, passengers.
The girls from Primary 5/6 and 6/7 have enjoyed a visit from Lauren today. She is a science ambassador who talked about the importance of encouraging girls to study science and a variety of different careers that this can lead to including different areas of Engineering. As a challenge the girls had to build the highest structure that they could.
The outgoing Primary 7 pupils performed a wonderful commencement assembly on Friday 24th June 2016. Have a look at the range of photographs that were part of the presentation.
Farewell Primary 7:
Celebrate:
Primary 5, 6 and 7 put on a wonderful performance this afternoon of the Scottish Opera Musical, Fever! The children have worked hard over the past few weeks to learn the songs and in just one day, worked with Scottish Opera to stage this active and energetic musical. Well done to everyone involved on a wonderful performance.
What a fun and active week it has been!
The whole school and nursery have been busy in a range of different health activities this week.
On Monday we were introduced to Health Week with a whole school assembly. Then Miss Tiffney worked with all of the classes to cover some aspects of HeartStart.
On Tuesday we had the Co-op visit for a fruit taster session as well as some of the classes participating in making their own healthy recipes.
On Wednesday there was an opportunity for everyone to experience circus skills and smoothie tasting thanks to Ian.
On Thursday everyone enjoyed participating in an Olympic Session run by Graeme.
The Paramedics came in the afternoon and worked with P3 upwards.
In addition each class aimed to complete a daily mile – some of the classes did this together.
It has been a really busy but fun week for everyone involved.
A big thank you to everyone who visited our school and made this week a great success.
An even bigger thank you to Miss Tiffney for organising everything.
Today thirty-four Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils went on a visit to the Sky Academy in Livingston. They had the opportunity to produce a news report.
The report was based on Recycling – which has been a focus of our learning in class.
The children were split into groups and each assigned roles such as editor, reporter, producer, screen writer. They then worked together in their groups on a section of the report.
Group 1 – introduction,anchor
Group 2 – roving reporters
Group 3 – eye witness
Group 4 – interviews
After they had worked together in their groups to produce their own part of the report, all parts were then combined to produce the final piece..
The kids had a fantastic day and a wonderful opportunity to experience how a news report is made. Some of the comments were …
Miller – “It was a good experience!”
Aidan – “It was fun finding out about how the cameras work!”
Hayley – “It was awesome the equipment we got to use!”
Lewis – “Loves the technology!”
It has unfortunately come to the end of Micro-Tyco.

World Book Day 2016 is fast approaching, so the time has come to start thinking about which character we will come to school dressed as!
On Thursday 3rd March 2016, we will be celebrating World Book Day in the school and nursery. All staff and pupils are invited to dress up as a favourite character from a book on the day. Prizes will be awarded for the most original outfit from each class.
Lots of ideas and inspiration for simple to create costumes can be found on the WBD website at www.worldbookday.com.
During the day, all the children in the school and nursery will be involved in listening to stories read by different members of staff around the school. This promotes reading together and reading for enjoyment and has proved a popular activity in the past!
We will also be holding a ‘Book Swap’ on World Book Day. All pupils can bring in one book from home (in excellent condition) which they can swap for a different book to take home with them! More details on the arrangements for this will follow.
