All children are reminded that bikes and scooters must be pushed in the playground to avoid accidents.  Children must only  cycle and scoot when with their class teacher.  Although the paths around the school are outwith the school, it would be advisable to do the same.  We would ask for support from parents etc. to ensure that everyone is safe.

The class will have the opportunity to visit our bake sale tomorrow, which will be hosted by Primary 6. We will be visiting at 11.45 and cakes will all be priced at 10p.

On Friday, we were able to get the engines onto our cars! We also tested them with batteries and could hear them working! Now we only have to work on to design and our cars will be finished! We can’t wait!

Well done to P3H who had the most people cycling and scooting today. They hold the magnificent Big Pedal trophy.

Who will win tomorrow?

It could be your class!

On Friday we made hats as part of our European Art Series. We learned about the French designer, Coco Chanel. Coco Chanel revolutionised women’s fashion and opened a hat shop as her very first venture. We used paper to make different types of hats which had to include either a buckle, a brim, a peak or edges and trimmings.  It also had to stay on the head without falling off! We had great fun and some great designs were made! The next big fashion designer could be in P6G!

Thank you if you brought your scooter to join in the Big Pedal today.

We also took part in an obstacle course set up by our Active Schools coach.

Read and Munch will be on Friday this week.

We will be doing lots of extra active things this week so if children wish to wear polo shirts each day this week that is fine.

We had 16 bikes and scooters today-let’s try to get even more tomorrow! Remember your helmets!

We can earn extra Eco points this week for having a healthy snack for break and lunch.  This could include fruit, vegetables, yogurts, fruit bars for example.  Please try to avoid crisps and chocolate!

There will be a Bake Sale for Comic Relief tomorrow.  Children can buy cakes starting at 10p.

Please remember to return your consent form for face painting if you have not already done so.  No form means no face painting!

I have still to get Parent/Pupile response forms from quite a number of people.  These forms should be handed in by Friday of this week as they will form the basis for discussion on parents’ nights.

Book bags will go home tomorrow as it is a no paper day today! As stated in previous posts, no reading books will go home this week.  They will be read in class only.

I know there is a great deal of information to take in but it is a very busy, exciting week in school!

Hi everyone,

Hope you are having a good weekend!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is a no paper day, therefore we will not be using any paper tomorrow. As homework, we are going to attempt at least two activities from the Eco Homework Grid, which will go on the blog on Monday.

Also a reminder that this week is Big Pedal week and we have opportunities to ride our bikes throughout the week. Please remember to bring a helmet. In addition, Tuesday is the P6 bake sale. A reminder that no home baking can contain nuts due to allergies.

On Wednesday we also have the community café which some members of each class will be taking part in! We are still looking for any parent helpers who may be available to help! If you are able to help could you let your child’s teacher know, thanks!

See you all tomorrow!
