We have just hade a visit from the RZSS(ROYAL ZOOLOGIC SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND). It was very interesting and we all got to go on the bus. It was great fun we got to see and feel lots of Scottish animal skins(a seal skull, a badger skin, antlers from a red deer, fox skin and a beaver skin.)

Primary 6 and 7 have been focusing on Parliament, Brexit and Democracy as their topic. We have been making posters, powerpoints and factfiles.

Thank you to all the wonderful parents who took time out of their busy schedule to come to parents night on Thursday 16th and a special thanks to all the parents who filled in one of the many surveys.

Thanks again Joe and Jonathon

Primary 4 and 5 have had a great day today finding out all about Roman soldiers- something that they all wanted to do. Caitlin’s mum who is an archaeologist spent the day with us and taught us lots of interesting things. We looked at lots of replicas of Roman artefacts and tried on helmets, chain mail, armour and shoes. We were also able to look at lots of other every day artefacts and think about how they were used. During the afternoon a very strange Roman soldier visited the classroom! We had a great time and would like to thank Caitlin’s mum for a great time.

We have had a really successful Children In Need Day and we have counted all our donations and money raised and we raised a MASSIVE £105.23!!!!!
We hope you all enjoyed it too.

P123 have been enjoying exploring the woods and have been hunting for living and non-living things. We’ve also been discussing what ‘alive’ means and what something needs to stay alive. We have collected and investigated some of the interesting things we have found and designed and made broomsticks to solve our friend Olga’s broken broomstick problem!

On Friday Primary 6/7 went out in the garden and did a big tidy up and we made a lot of good progress and it is looking better now. A few of us went to the “whacky shed” to tidy it (it was a really big mess) but now it is really neat and tidy too. We hope it will be ready for us to plant new seeds next year.
There are still a few weeds to pull so we will look for a warmer day to finish off.
