Primary 7 spent some time with Mrs Barrie from St Ambrose High School today as part of their transition to high school later this year. The children were able to ask questions on anything that was worrying them and found out more about the type of work they would be doing when they get there. We have lots of excited children but we know we still have a lot of work to do before we get there.
Primary 7 worked with Shelly from Money Advice Scotland earlier this week where they learned the importance of managing money when it comes to household bills. The boys and girls looked at running costs for a house and were really surprised at how expensive things were. We hope they shared some of their money saving learning with you when they came home.
The children of primary 7 have been presenting a solo talk on a subject of their own choice with wonderful knowledge being displayed. We have some confident individuals in primary 7. Well done boys and girls.
Room 15 had a visit from our scientist, Willie, today. It was our first visit from him since we got our trout eggs last week. Willie was very impressed that we have only lost 4 and has said that we should see them starting to hatch soon. We are very excited to meet our little alevins. He’ll be back next week to check in with us again!
This afternoon Room 15 enjoyed a visit from Stacey from Money Advice Scotland. The children were tasked to create a shopping list for a picnic for 4 people. They were given a budget and had to work together. They did very well staying in budget and some groups even had change!
Our credit union collection will take place on Friday after Mass for anyone wishing to top up their savings or open an account. Forms are available from Room 8 should you require one.
Thank you for your support so far.
We had a great time learning to control the ball with other weaker side today in PE. We also shared our wonderful knowledge on muscles, bones and organs. We can’t wait for next week.
Some of our class presented their solo talks today in Room 8. We learned about Judo, Dinosaurs, African Animals and Household Dogs! We peer assessed each other against our core targets and where necessary offered each other next steps.
We can’t wait to hear more this week!
Thank you to all family and friends who joined Room 7 and 8 for their Burns Supper on Thursday. We hope you enjoyed our journey through the life of Robert Burns. Well done boys and girls for learning all your lines and for hosting this event.
Well done to all the boys and girls who received an Award at assembly this morning.
