On Tuesday, some Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils travelled to the Ian Nicolson Centre to take part in an athletics competition with different schools from North Lanarkshire. Children participated in field events in the morning and track events in the afternoon. Our points will be added together soon and we will then find out if we are through to the finals. Here are some pictures of our day …
Primary 6 have been learning about the seven Continents of the world, the countries within them and their landmarks. Today, they all chose a landmark, sketched it then used media of their choice to add colour to their piece of artwork.

Yesterday, we had a stock take of the items we will be selling.
Primary 7/6 presented their personal projects today. Each pupil chose a place of interest, researched information on it, then presented it in their own words using pictures and illustrations to enhance their findings. Mrs McLennan was delighted and could see how hard people had worked. Well done P.7/6!
Today the Primary 6 children from P.7/6 visited St . Maurice’s High as part of their transition .
They worked in the Technical Department and learned new skills to make a times table game using acrylic and various tools.
.
Primary 6 took part in a day of culture when they visited the Spanish Film Festival in Edinburgh to watch a screening of the cartoon Donkey Xote, an animated tale of the life of Don Quixote.
They are currently learning some basic words and phrases Spanish. They watched the film in English, with Spanish subtitles.
We had a fantastic afternoon down in the forest making dens. We worked well as a group to collect the materials we required and using them to make our den. We showed great problem solving skills on how to hold up parts of our dens.
The only criteria Miss Wilson gave us was to make sure our den had a roof and a seating area for everyone in the group to sit on. I am sure you can see, we were very creative with some groups creating beds to sleep in, fires to keep warm and decorative items such as flowers!
Today, Primary 5 and Primary 6 took part in a fantastic outdoor activity day at Broadwood Stadium for their Summer trip. They took part in Tennis, Athletics, Orienteering, Team Building and BMX biking. The rain didn’t stop them enjoying their day!
PC Kenny came to the school to talk to the children about the importance of staying safe on the internet, using online games and social media apps.
He showed them some some age appropriate videos from the website https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk, which is a resource which can be used to highlight the importance of staying safe online, exploring what’s good, what’s not and what they can do about it if they feel uncomfortable or worried about something that is happening online.
Today, we were learning about how to save water. We learned lots of new interesting facts that we did not know before. We made some posters on different ways you can save water in your every day life. We had a lot of fun during this experience and will now be more concious of wasting water. We hope our posters encourage people to save water too.
