Goodbye P7
It is always sad to say goodbye to pupils and this year has been very hard. We have thoroughly enjoyed having such a fantastic bunch of young people in the school and wish them the very best for the future.
Here’s a slideshow of some of their special moments.
Football and Netball Tournament
We were lucky to have two netball teams and two football teams participate in the Inter Schools Football and Netball Tournament.
They all enjoyed themselves and participated fully. All four teams showed great sportsmanship. The Netball A team were thrilled to win the tournament this year.
P7N Pancakes
Yesterday we made pancakes to practice using measuring equipment independently – electronic scales and measuring jugs – and to show we could follow instructions successfully.
We followed a recipe in small groups and Miss Henry didn’t even need to help us! It was great practice for Secondary 1 Home Economics at the Anderson High School, which lots of us are very much looking forward to.
Most importantly they tasted delicious.
Pupil Council Painters
Jess and Johnny (Pupil Council Vice Chair and Chair Person) were busy yesterday giving our benches a new lease of life with paint the Pupil Council bought from Frank Williamson. They particularly enjoyed wearing their overalls! 🙂
Edinburgh trip -Day 3
Our first stop today was at the Ratho Climbing Centre where we got to abseil and climb. It was lots of fun and so good seeing everyone challenge themselves.
We are so proud of all the young people who are behaving so well and are great company.
We had our lunch in glorious sunshine at Bannockburn before heading in doors to hear all about the Battle of Bannockburn. In groups the children then held their own battle. Once again the Scottish were victorious in “The Battle of the Bowling Club”.
We had our tea in Pizza Hut and then all enjoyed Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
P7 Activity Week – Day 2
Today we spent the morning making pancakes and after break we went to the flower park with Sanna to do some golf putting and play short tennis. In the afternoon the pupils went to the Clickimin broch to do some sketching with Miss Birnie.
P7 Edinburgh-Day 2
The sun is shining today in Edinburgh. After a super night’s sleep we all headed to Edinburgh Castle first thing.
We then went to Camera Obscura and loved all the illusions.
After lunch outside we went to Butterfly and Insect World and got to hold millipedes, snakes and tarantulas.
P7 Edinburgh Trip – Day 1
A super first day for our trip. We have spent the day at Blair Drummond Safari Park. There was so much to see and do. There were many favourites – boat rides, Zip lines and dodgems to name a few.
We arrived in Edinburgh at teatime and had a quick turn around at the hostel before heading to Cosmos for tea.
It has been a really enjoyable and busy day.
Programming Lego Robots in P7N
P7N were very lucky to have a visit from Emma Chittock from Skills Development Scotland. Emma came to teach us how to program Lego robots using i Pads. It was fascinating!
