Primary 6 have been making excellent progress with their cycling skills.  Having learned a variety of maneuvers in the playground, many of them have progressed onto the road.  Well done to all boys and girls for their hard work and commitment!  (Ambition)

P3 have been developing their hockey skills this term. We have been learning how to hold the hockey stick correctly. We learned to dribble the ball, stop the ball, shoot and score. We have been enjoying the dry weather and had fun outside today. Pupils can wear joggers and jumpers for outside P.E.

Primary 1 have been working so hard on our Superhero topic and we are so excited to announce that family are now invited to our Open Afternoon on Wednesday 2nd May at 1.45pm. Invitations are in homework folders/bags. We will meet you in the gym hall at 1.45pm for a little surprise then you will be accompanied to the classroom by your child. It’s a great chance for you to see all our hard work. There will be lots of fun activities, a raffle and a ‘chuck it in the bucket’ for Radio Clyde’s Cash 4 Kids Superhero Day, we are also getting a mention on the radio next week!  Children can come to school in superhero clothes that day if they wish. Adults can dress up too! The Open Afternoon will end at 2.45pm and children will be dismissed as usual at 3pm (if there are any changes to hometime arrangements on that day can you let us know in advance, thanks). Hope to see you then!

Primary 1 enjoyed lots of superhero stations at P.E. this week. We were working on our balance, coordination and ball skills.

Looking forward to welcoming all the boys and girls from the nursery and school back tomorrow morning.  We hope you all had a great break and look forward to hearing all about it.

Primary 2 made the most of the bright weather on Thursday and headed into the wild life garden to hunt for 100 colourful plastic eggs that had been hidden in the undergrowth. One lucky winner had a fluffy chick inside their egg (no real chicks were involved in this activity!) and was awarded an Easter egg as a prize. However, everyone was a winner receiving a chocolate bunny lolly.

Happy Easter everyone , enjoy your holiday.

Primary 2 would like to let family and carers know that they are having an open afternoon on Thursday 26th April, from 2-3pm. Please come along and see the fantastic work we have been doing for our ‘Under the Sea’ topic.

We hope you have fun on our homework challenge – the children are making their own dioramas ( Under the sea scene set inside a shoe box, or other suitable box.) There will be prizes for the best one made by the children without adult help and another prize for one that has obviously received more help. These are due in on Friday 20th April, so don’t worry if you are away over the holidays.

If you need ideas, you can google ‘Under the Sea dioramas’ and you will see a variety of examples to help you get started.

Primary 2 had a fantastic trip to the Sea Life Centre at Loch Lomond. However, rather than take my word for it, here are some of the  reports the children wrote yesterday.

”We went down into the tunnel to see the Black Tip sharks. Their dorsal fin is black and their body is grey. They were scary because they have good camouflage.” By Logan Wallace.

“We went on the bus to the Sea Life Centre. I saw a Hammerhead shark. He was really scary with a hammer shaped head. He was weird because his mouth was near his chin and his eyes were at the side of his hammer.” By Kyle Gough.

” We went to see the otters, they were cute and I liked them. They were diving down deep. The otters were having their dinner. It was chicken. The otters were jumping in and out of the water. They were fluffy and they were wet.” By Emily Scott.

“Yesterday we went to the Sea Life Centre. My favourite creature was the otters. We arrived when they were getting fed. We also saw Casper the dogfish. The other fish sat on him to protect him from the sunlight (he is an albino). We also saw some plastic bags that looked like jellyfish because animals eat them and die. Then we went on the bus and we went home.” By Grace Murray.

Then there is the view held by many of the children…

“I saw otters but my best part was the shop when I got my shark and stingray.”  By Aidan Drysdale-King.
