The P5-7’s thoroughly enjoyed their first experience of a triathlon and it was all about ‘giving it a go’.
Great effort by the Active School team. We’d love to do this again.

MTV – Step Inside
P5-7 are making their thinking visible by using a routine called Step Inside. They are using this routine to explore a range of jobs and professions. They are asking questions like….
- What can you see? What do you notice?
- What do you know, understand or believe?
- What do you care very much about?
- What do you wonder? What questions pop into your head?

Article 3
All adults should do what is best for you. When
adults make decisions, they should think about
how their decisions will affect children.
Spring Outdoor Learning Days
We enjoyed some pond dipping at Culzean.
We helped clean up our village and beach with a litter pick.
We loved the Depute First Minister Easter math challenge on the last day of term. Easteregghuntastic!!
The Comfort Zone Cause
We’ve got Martha in a dress to lead the way!!
We’ve got new food being tried, girly girls in football kits, Mrs H not being allowed to talk, some pupils not being allowed to talk, Mrs Malcolm in bunches, pupils sharing embarrassing old photos, and many more uncomfy challenges going on.
£490 raised so far!!

Festivals Personal Projects
P567 blew me away again with the effort they put into their personal projects. The presentations were full of interesting facts and the models were outstanding! Such a range of different materials …..clay, wood, junk modelling and food! Well done everyone .
Term 3 Holistic Assessment
Festivals and Celebrations
P5-7 are coming close to the end of this term’s learning theme of ‘Festivals and Celebrations’. It’s a hive of activity now as they apply all the skills and knowledge they have learned to complete a holistic assessment.  We planned the assessment together and the pupils are all devising advertising campaigns to promote a music festival they have created.
Posters have been designed…
Radio jingles have been written…
TV ads have been scripted….
Props are being made ready for filming!
Enjoy……..there are certainly a few jingles that will stick in my head!

The end of every day is teacher story time. From children’s classics, such as Treasure Island, to modern favourites, like Harry Potter.
The big class are authors and illustrators!
The big class in @FishertonPS are working their socks off to meet their deadline of Friday. They are creating new picture books for their wee class #readingbuddies. All have a theme or message to help their little buddies learn about life. @WorldBookDayUK pic.twitter.com/HgeEjW82lX
