Primary 4s assembly was this week and we worked hard to prepare and learn our lines and songs. We looked forward to our families coming to see us.
As part of our enterrpise this term, we baked our own shortbread to sell at our assembly. We followed a traditional Scottish recipe to bake this shortbread. It was lots of fun!

For Developing the Young Workforce week, we listened to what people do every day in their jobs….
Listening to the Physiotherapist and the Optician explaining their jobs.
The Optician told us what she does to help people who need glasses.
The Optician showed us some of the special glasses she uses to help people with the eye tests.
Hoots Owls came to our school and we found out about the job of Falconry.
Everyone got to hold the owls. We were not allowed to pet them as it damages their feathers.
The Falconry job sounded very interesting and the owls were very well cared for.
We asked questions about the owls and we gathered a lot of information from Gillian who looked after the owls.
Our class bear visited Arthur’s Seat this weekend with this adventurous P1.
He also visited Balmaha and enjoyed the view of Loch Lomond.

We have had a busy few weeks in primary 6b.
Last week we celebrated All Saints’ Day on Friday by attending mass.
In our topic, we looked at where Spain is on a map in relation to the rest of Europe and also where it is in relation to us.
This week as part of Developing the Young Workforce week (DYW) we took part in lots of different activities. At the beginning of the week we thought about the skills and attributes we would need for the jobs we want to do in the future and then went on to write our own CVs.
On Thursday, we were joined by Young Inventors Scotland, where we had to think,
invent, build and present our very own inventions. This was great fun!
Finally, on Friday we attended the upper school Careers Fayre where we were joined by Fire Services, Police Scotland, a law practise and a physiotherapist but to name a few.
Also, we took part in a whole school assembly to showcase our inventions to the rest of the school from the day before and we loved every minute!

As part of Developing the Young Workforce week, we worked on writing our own C.V.s and promoting all of our skills and qualities. We had great fun holding mock interviews and working on our interview skills!
We enjoyed baking and decorating cookies, they looked and tasted delicious!
We have been continuing our hard work in Maths this week, working on drawing angles and multiplying by multiples of 10, 100 and 1000. We have been learning new skills in P.E. in our block of Basketball, learning new passes and working on our dribbling skills.

We’ve had another busy week in P4.
We enjoyed making witches potions for Halloween adding lots of weird and wonderful ingredients and loved watching the cauldron bubble! We then wrote out own spells and potions- some to make your teacher fly!
As part of our Scotland topic we learned about famous tartans and even created our own kilts! We enjoyed being creative with the horizontal and vertical lines.
Today we attended mass with the whole school for All Saints Day and celebrated the lives of the saints who are in heaven.

We have been hard at work this week in Primary 6b after our lovely week off.
We are all well rested and ready to start another great term!
We started off this week with a visit from the local police and fire department to remind about keeping safe with Guy Fawkes night approaching💥.
We began our new topic and we will be learning all about the country of Spain 🇪🇸. We began to think about the things which we already know about Spain which was far more than we initially thought!
In maths, we have been learning all about rounding and adjusting multiplication sums with Mrs MacIntyre which we were super at!
We had a ball at the Halloween Disco and our costumes were fantastic!
Lastly, we are so excited to have won Cool Class Cup this week and are looking forward to using the Cool Class games this week. 🏅🏆
