Last week we began a dance topic based around mysteries and magic! We learned about some myths and legends within Europe for our topic and applied this theme to our dancing! We started by thinking about some words that relate to magic and spelling these words using shapes with our bodies. We also practised some mirroring using shapes that indicated we were doing something magical, such as casting a spell or riding a broom! The classroom became Hogwarts temporarily! Next, we imagined creating secret passageways and used our bodies to both create the passageways and to go through them using different movements! There were lots of great ideas and imagination! Well done P6G!

Well done to our two P6 winners of Best costume for World Book day! We had the scarily accurate Demon Dentist and the fantastic pink troll! Everyone made such an effort on the day so well done to all P6’s!

Today we were able to put wheels onto our cars! This involved sawing round sections of wood and attaching them to our bases. We were also able to create working designs of our cars which our engineer, Matthew , may turn into 3D designs on a computer! Enjoy our pictures!

A few days ago I popped into the library to inquire about starting the library visits again. While I was there I was reminded that some books from our class have not been returned.

Could I kindly ask parents to return any library books your child may have as a result of the school visits back to me and I will drop them off at the library next week or before Easter depending on how many I get returned.

thank you very much!

One adult per child only please.

Primary 2H had a great day reading and also sharing books with their Primary one buddies. We really enjoyed hearing the teachers and children who read to us at assembly today. All of the costumes were great and well done to everyone for raising so much money, between their donations and sponsorship money.

Thank you for sharing World Book Day with us.  We are lucky to have such great reading buddies.

Love from Primary 1F

Well done to everyone who made our World Book Day such good fun.  The costumes were great and I hope you enjoyed wearing your pyjamas. Thank you to our visitors who came to read to the class.  Thank you for your donations and sponsor money.  Our class raised more than £200 and the whole school raised more than £2000 which will be spent on literacy resources.

As well as our visitors, we made the characters and setting for the Three Little Pigs.  We visited our reading  buddies in Primary 3H to share our favourite books.
