Katie’s a Winner!

The school was invited to design a birthday card for the Queen’s 90th birthday.  There were 3 age groups including P1 – 3.  Each school in Perth and Kinross had to choose one winner from each each group.  Katie was the winner from Newhill in the P1 – 3 category.  Well done Katie!

Literacy Showcase

On Thursday the 24th March parents were invited in to see our work on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Across the 3 classrooms there were lots of different examples of literacy work for example; sound poems using onomatopoeia, character descriptions, biographies, fact files along with The Invention Room and examples from French language. Thank you for coming and we hope you enjoyed looking at your child’s work.

Judo

Thursday 25th February

All P2/3 and P3 pupils were treated to a taster session from ‘Tayside Judo Club’. The children practised different types of holds and throws wearing the supplied Judo outfits. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and some children have joined the local club which takes place on a Wednesday from 4-6:5pm in the campus.
