Today we had our Scottish Open Morning and it was a huge success. We invited out families into our classroom and it was a fantastic turn out. We visited a range of Scottish themed work stations such as tartan making and Scottish food tasting. We then moved into the hall and performed our Scottish dance and songs. The feedback was excellent.
To celebrate Robert Burns Day, Primary 3/4 have been learning traditional Scottish dances. They performed these for Primary 1. Primary 1 loved watching the performance and couldn’t believe how the boys and girls could remember all the steps! Primary 1 then performed ‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny Aff the Bus.’ We all had a fantastic time!
Lacey said that she liked when she crossed her arms over.
Oliver liked when the boys and girls went around in a circle.
P.2/3 were taking part in some rainforest drama activities this afternoon. They were creating freeze frames of their drama scenes are were also recreating some rainforest animal sounds.

On Tuesday the 29th of January at 9:15 am, Primary 1 and Primary 2 will be hosting an open morning for parents. Our focus will be on Scotland. We have been learning about Scotland and what makes Scotland special and unique. We have learned Scottish songs and dances which we will be showcasing. We hope to see you there but here is a sneak peek.
Thanks to all our parents/guardians who came in last week for the second of our class meetings. We completed another successful STEM challenge and I’m sure you’ll agree that the children were completely on task and contributing well, the photos below prove that!

All parents are invited to a focus group on Monday 21st January at 3:15pm led by Mrs Rowley and Brian Donnelly . At this group we will be looking at our new Anti-bullying: Respect Me Policy.
Throughout Term one we consulted with all staff, pupils and parents what our anti-bullying policy should include.
We have taken into consideration all views and have created a first draft of this policy.
We would appreciate as many parents views on this draft policy and make any amendments required to ensure that all views are represented in our final policy.
In class we are beginning to learn about Scottish Art. We know that art can be lots of different things, from painting and drawing to singing and dancing. For the next few weeks we will practise different Ceilidh Dances. We have already learned the Virginia Reel! Take a look on SeeSaw for a video of our dancing.
Primary 1 have been excited to see what topic they will be learning about this term. Today they explored a mystery topic bag and looked at some clues. Can you guess what our topic will be?
