P7 Leaver’s Assembly. On Tuesday afternoon, we celebrated the primary 7 pupils at their special assembly.

Trip to the Burn. On Wednesday afternoon, we headed to the burn for some fresh air fun.

Cunningsburgh Cafe. On Thursday morning, we had a lovely time at our Cunningsburgh Cafe where we had hot drinks, biscuits and time to read or play games quietly.

Musical concert. On Thursday, just before lunchtime, Mrs Peterson and her piano pupils, treated us to a peerie concert. It was lovely to hear how each pupil is getting on.

This week our Big Question was all about a time/period in history. The pupils could work independently or in groups to create, build and write about their chosen time/thing. They then set up their elements as a museum and P4/5 came to look around. Great work by all and a wide range of topics covered.

Here is a selection of photos from our amazing trip to the Hamnavoe Lighthouse and the Outpost.

P.6-7 have been doing some composing using word rhythms that they chose themselves and then they notated their music using the knowledge that they gained doing the stave notation unit. Well done!

Online Event. This week P7s attended an online event called ‘We’re aff tae the Big School’. This was a transition event that schools from all over Scotland could take part in. There was lots of fun had by all as we heard some encouraging stories and took part in a fun quiz as well as trying the biscuit challenge. We also enjoyed hot chocolate and some snacks too.

Sport Day. Everyone really gave their all in our class races and there was definitely some competitive spirit on show. The class were fantastic at encouraging and cheering every team on. Well done to everyone for such a fun afternoon.

This week seems to have flown by. There has been a lot of discussion and activities linked to our house teams this week. The class were really keen to give their ‘House Team’ boards a refresh in preparation for sports day next week. They have done a fantastic job with each board.

These are some of the fantastic designs entered into the competition.

Big Question. This week we have been thinking about different forms of transport and transportation networks within different world cities. The class worked in groups and then shared their findings with the class. We also made some ‘World landmark’ hot air balloon artwork.

This or That. We had the choice between dogs, USA and netball for our be our quest this week and then also had to design a new biscuit for ‘National biscuit day’. Some lovely creations made by the class.
