Following 4 weeks of learning about democracy and politics in Scotland, our P4-7 pupils created their own political parties, manifestos and persuasive speeches. Today was election day and the parties were put through their paces with tough questions from the audience. What a fantastic effort from all of the learners for their enthusiasm and knowledge!
We had a super afternoon with families who came to join us for the pupil council- led games afternoon. The pupil council did a great job introducing the games and ensuring everyone was included. Lots of fun was had. Thank you to everyone who came, we look forward to the next pupil council event! 
We took advantage of the beautiful day and set off to walk a mile through Nesting. This was a lovely chance to walk and talk together, whilst getting fresh air and sunshine!
We were very grateful to Ramona, Niamh’s mum, for coming in to show and tell all about her recent successes at the open water world championships. The children loved getting a hold of the medals, too! Thanks Ramona, and well done on the awesome achievements!
Today the P1-7s performed at the music festival singing ‘Da Wiggly Worm Sang’ by Christian Tait. The class did a fantastic job. Well done!
The P4-7 also performed an instrumental, ‘What’s In the Bag’. 
We have been learning about the meta-skills for the last couple of weeks. We learned about what these skills look like and considered when we might use them. We looked at the character names given to each skill by Skills Development Scotland.
Today, the pupils were all challenged to make a maze using a paper plate and some straws. Afterwards, they had a chance to try out other mazes. Following on from this, they considered which of the meta-skills had been used.
The skills used included:
Today we have had some paired reading and Show and Tell of our favourite book!
