Primary 5/4 have been learning about Bonfire Night. We enjoyed various activities including making safety posters using the Poster My Wall website, portraits of Guy Fawkes and salt painting fireworks.

It was brilliant to see such great teamwork in Primary 5/4 today. The children worked in groups to complete Halloween challenges such as pumpkin sweet towers, Frankenstein towers, skeleton pictures, bone towers and making spiders and spider webs.

Primary 5/4 have had a busy first Term. We have been creating our Class Charter, learning about 2D shapes and 3D objects, place value and practising our new spelling words. Some of the children have been enjoying completing lego challenges and we have been learning through play-based learning activities.

P5/4 demonstrated some of our spelling activities during our first open morning and enjoyed playing place value games with parents during our second open morning.

Primary 5/4 (with help from some of p6/7) were given a range of challenges including building a boat from lolly sticks, marshmallow towers, lego pyramids, paper tissue aeroplanes and spaghetti bridges. They then had to use their measurement skills.

Term 2 Here we come …. Keep an eye out for what we are going to get up to this term!

P7/6 along with a few pupils from P5 had an amazing week at Dolphin House! Over the week, they were working towards  their John Muir Award and using his 4 key objectives :- Discover, Conserve, Explore and Share.

Our first day at Dolphin house involved some archery, we had lots of fun and settled in well.

We had a productive second day hill walking. We got to experience some breathtaking views throughout our walk and appreciate what a beautiful country we live in. Some very tired children (and adults) this day!

A lovely evening rock pooling at Dolphin House

We had a fabulous day paddle boarding and canoeing!

A night walk through Culzean castle and then a disco for our last evening at Dolphin House! We had so much fun!

Our Final Morning doing The Trout run

Welcome to Primary 7/6!

Our teacher this year is Miss Baillie and we have 17 pupils in our class.

This term our topic is World War 2. We have been reading Goodnight Mister Tom as our class novel.

In numeracy and maths, we have been focussing on bar modelling, angles and time.

This term we also had the opportunity of going on a residential trip to Dolphin House. We have been working towards the John Muir Award with the key elements of ‘discover’, ‘explore’, ‘conserve’ and ‘share’. Whilst at Dolphin House, we got to experience activities such as archery, orienteering, rock pooling, movies, hill-walking, geology, quiz, paddle boarding, canoeing, night walk, disco and a trout run!

Keep an eye out for all the fun we are going to get up to in Term 2!

Here are some Photos of what we’ve been up to in Term 1.

As part of our world book day celebrations we decorated T-shirts and hats with book inspired themes.  Then we took a walk in the sunshine to enjoy reading in some unusual locations around the village!

On our first trip outdoors after the Easter holidays we made some additions to our outdoor den up by the castle. We added some additional logs for seating and creating a wind break with some large branches. Everyone worked hard to make the area look more inviting and had great fun at the same time.
