Wider Achievement

Last Friday saw the pupils in P4-7 have their first wider achievement group sessions. These will hopefully give children the chance to develop their skills in a variety of ways as they not only take part in activities they may already familiar with but also by trying something new. The remaining wider achievement afternoons for P4-7 this term are November 15 and 29 and December 13.

The photos below show some of the pupils from the ‘Let’s Go Golfing’ group developing their skill at the Knab Golf Course. The group is being led by Mr Leask.

Nursery learning all about Builders and Buildings

November 5, 2019 Mrs Tait Leave a comment

Nursery children have been learning about ‘Building and buildings’ this term. They have been exploring patterns in their environment, building models using junk and construction, measuring the size of objects using blocks, rulers, straws and string, and looking at similarities and differences of buildings in the area.

P6s become ‘Young Leaders’

October 11, 2019 Mr Spence Leave a comment

During Term 1, Primary 6 have been undertaking weekly “Young Leaders” training sessions with Active Schools Co-ordinator, Sanna Aitken. The children have been learning lots of new games and how to teach these safely, as after the October holidays they will be given the opportunity to be playground “buddies” for Primary 1-4. P6s have really risen to the challenge, and led a P.E. lesson in the gym with Primary 2 before receiving their “Young Leaders” certificates last week. They have set a great example as they settle in to life on the top floor at Bell’s Brae!

Primary 1 Social Snack

October 8, 2019 Miss Henry Leave a comment

Every Friday, 1 pupil from each Primary 1 class take time to prepare a snack for all P1 pupils. We call it our social snack as we enjoy taking time to eat and talk about our snack together. Each class brainstormed suggestions for what we could make.

We made scones this week – they were delicious!

NASA Lunar Lander Challenge

October 8, 2019 Mrs Cheyney Leave a comment

Primary 5 have been learning all about Space this term. As part of this, we looked at the Moon Landing by Apollo 11. They were set the challenge to work in pairs in order to create their own lunar landing module using only the materials provided.

They had to think carefully about their design to make sure their astronauts (big marshmallows!) didn’t fall out of the module when dropped from a height of 30cm. Some managed to drop their module successfully from a height of 2m!!

It was excellent to see such brilliant problem solving and a range of other maths skills from all of the pupils.
