On Wednesday 1/5/2019, we got to go to an art exhibition.
It was fascinating! We got to paint our favourite things with electrical paint and then we would clip out drawings onto a peg and then after our drawings were clipped on we touched the electrical paint it made a noise! Like so mine (Edyn’s) said “and oh” and others made a bird noises and some said “ecstasy” and it was great.

PRIMARY 1/2 POP-UP CAFE
When Primary 1 and 2 decided they wanted to have a pop-up café at the end of term, we began planning and thinking about what we would need to get and do. We spoke about foods/drinks which would be easy to make in a busy classroom and also considered food allergies.
This week we have been busy baking and making sandwiches. Everybody took part and worked really well together.
This morning, we were delighted to see so many people come into the classroom. We had to have 2 different sittings as there were so many people wanting to come! We had a fantastic time with everyone enjoying the food and drink and our waiters/waitresses working very hard attending on their tables. Guests were then invited to go and see all the excellent gardening work they have been doing recently with Duncan in the greenhouse and polytunnel.
Donations given this morning amounted to £176.51 which we will put towards a trip next term. Sincere thanks to everyone who gave so generously.
I hope everyone enjoyed their morning and will now enjoy a well deserved Easter break. See you all in 2 weeks!

I’m a scientist get me out of here!
On the 13 of March P6 and 7 took part in the I’m a scientist live chat. We asked lots of questions and they replied with good honest anwsers. Sadly though Rashid could not make it for the live chat though all the other scientists who haven’t been voted out were there.
We also got to vote for the scientist we wanted to win 500 pounds.

Drama Festival
Gardening Day
While the rest of P5 and P6/7 were away at the Garrison doing their drama rehearsal we got to help Duncan plant lots and lots and lots of daffodil bulbs. After a hard mornings work we were not only hungry but had muscles the size of a weightlifters! We planted about 150 daffodil bulbs just for about 2 and a half hours. Thanks to Tyler, Kyle, Niah, Mattie, Ailidh, Willum, Holden, Mrs. Nicolson and a very big thanks to Duncan for planting all the daffodil bulbs. There was some very good teamwork and communication. Everybody had a great time and lots of fun!

Money, money, money!
In maths this week we were learning about bank accounts and where to put your savings. We had to choose which account was best for 3 kids called Ruby, Jenny and Khalid. Ruby got 50 pounds pocket money a month, Jenny got 100 pounds birthday money and Khalid got 15 pounds a week for his paper round. Then we created an advert using the iPads. We made up bank names and persuaded people to use our account. By Keiva and Ollie

Storysacks
This term, secondary 1 pupils are coming through each Monday to visit primary 1 and 2 pupils to share story-sacks with them. This involves reading and listening to stories, playing games, making jigsaws, using puppets and toys and other activities relevant to the story-sack theme.
Primary 1 and 2 pupils are thoroughly enjoying the older children coming through and secondary 1 pupils are doing a fantastic job of sharing the story-sacks with the younger pupils.
P1/2 made hog houses
We used guidance from the RSPB on how to make a ‘hog house’ for hedgehogs then split the class into 2 groups. Each group designed and made their house.
We needed to make the box waterproof, make a door for hedgehogs to get in and out, thought of a name for each house then designed pictures and signs to go on the house.
We carried the houses up next to the den among the trees and put a weight on top so they didn’t blow away. We finally filled the hog homes with straw to keep hedgehogs warm and dry while they sleep.
We thought they looked pretty good and we can’t wait to see if any hedgehogs come to stay in them!
