Signalong classes with Mrs Fox
Signalong classes started at Bell’s Brae this week with Mrs Fox. Everyone enjoyed this family learning opportunity with staff from other schools too.
Measuring in P7S
P7S made the most of the fine day this morning – we were out measuring distances within the school grounds, using trundle wheels and metre sticks. We then had to convert our measurements into decimals.
Breakfast and Study Club
Breakfast Club – Monday and Wednesday 0830 – 0855
We would like to remind you about our breakfast club which is available to pupils from 0830 every Monday and Wednesday and offers a cold drink, cereals and toast. It is lovely to see the children, who attend, taking responsibility for getting their breakfast and enjoying each other’s company over breakfast. Attendance at this ensures that the children are in school on time and have enjoyed a breakfast. This ensures that they can focus fully on their work in class.
Study Club – Tuesday and Thursday 1500 – 1545
Our Study Club is a quiet place after school for children to complete homework, read, play board games and any other quiet relaxing activity they wish to take part in.
Parents/cares must book their child(ren) in to the study club at least a day in advance – this is to ensure that we have adequate staffing in place. Any pupil who attends without a booking may be unable to attend and have to be collected from school due to us not having appropriate staffing in place. Parents/carers are also reminded to collect their children promptly. Bookings should be made through the school office.

Victorian Day
This term Primary 6 have been learning all about Victorians, and we recently held our annual “Victorian Day”, where children are given the experience of what life was like for pupils during Queen Victoria’s reign. The pupils and staff were dressed appropriately and everyone contributed to a memorable day! We would like to express our huge thanks to Miss Swanson, who provided costumes for the day and visited both classes for a lesson in the afternoon.

P6 Puppet Workshop
Both Primary 6 classes were recently paid a visit by children’s evangelist Gordon McCracken and his collection of puppets! Pupils were given some tips on ventriloquism and how to pronounce tricky letters without moving their lips, before being given an opportunity to operate the puppets themselves.
