One of our P5 pupils brought in their medals from a recent swimming competition. He was also the overall 9 year old boys winner! Well done and good luck in your next competition on the Scottish mainland in the holidays!

It seems that we have another snow day, Draatsi class. Hopefully you will get a chance to play in the snow at some point today. Remember to wrap up warm!
Here are some things that you can try today.
Have fun if you are playing out in the snow today. Be careful when sledging and walking on slippery surfaces. Hopefully we’ll see you all again tomorrow!

Following further snowfall overnight, which has results in difficult road conditions, we have another day at home It’s a great chance to get outside, in the fresh air and enjoy playing in the snow!
Here are some things we would like to try today:
I’m sure you will have lots of fun playing in the snow today. Maybe you could…
Whatever you do, have fun and be safe!
If schools are open tomorrow, Mrs Smith will be there to help you all get ready for SMUHA. “From grand old Viking centuries…”

We did it again! Everyone has worked hard to earn pegs for their super effort, perseverance and kind actions. This week we managed to reach our goal and have planned to have a disco on Monday 20th in the school hall as our class prize.
We have begun learning about Fairtrade and what it means. We worked in groups to sequence the different stages of making a chocolate bar. We were surprised by how long it takes to go from planting cocoa trees to buying chocolate in the shop! We are finding out just how important it is that these farmers are given a fair price for their hard work.
On Wednesday, while we were getting ready to go home, we were treated to some fiddle tunes. We love to hear music in P4/5/6!

Our class had fun exploring the human body with the visitors from The Glasgow Science Centre today. In the morning we were given the chance to play with different interactive exhibits relating to different parts of the body.
Later on we took part in a Disgusting Digestion interactive show.
It was great fun and we learned about the journey of food throughout our bodies.
Somehow, we also managed to squeeze in a session with a local musician today! We were treated to some dialect singing and fiddle playing by Claire White. She planned a busy session looking at some interesting local stories and how she managed to turn these into songs for people to remember.
Then we split into groups to write our own stories and eventually turn these into songs. Some groups chose their own local stories to develop. These included the St Ninian’s Isle treasure, The Queen opening our school in 1969 and the Braer Disaster. It was a lot to do in the short space of time, so we didn’t quite manage to finish this today. Next term we are looking at local history, so we will save what we have achieved for now and build on these again at a later date. I look forward to seeing what we can produce!
Well done Draatsis!

Hello everyone! I hope you have managed to enjoy the gorgeous snowy weather. Have you been sledging? Built a snowman? Snuggled up and watched a film? Read from your book?
As we have been working on our 5 sentences with correct punctuation in class, can you write down what you have been doing with your days at home? Remember…5 sentences with capital letters and full stops/exclamation marks/question marks.
If you are not venturing outside today, I have set some Sumdog tasks online.
This week in Maths we are starting to look at Multiplication and Division, so the following websites could be used for practice. We are looking at the 3x and 6x tables first, so this would be a good thing to work on at home.
Multiplication Miner – Mathsframe
Hit the Button – Quick fire maths practise for 6-11 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)
Dartboard Multiplication – 7-11 year olds – Topmarks – for some challenge!
We were planning to look at the next part of Mission 3 for The Children’s Parliament this week, so you could start thinking about this at home, in preparation for returning to school tomorrow. Please note down your ideas to bring into school.
Hope to see you all tomorrow!

We had our class prize today! When our peg jar was approaching the finish line, we all voted for what we would like as our prize. There was no clear winning idea, so we have enjoyed laptop time and crafts. It has been a lovely, relaxed afternoon full of creativity and fun!
I wonder what everyone will vote for next time…?

This week we have been exploring saturated sugar solutions to see if we can make some sugar crystals.
We can already see crystals forming in the jars and hope that some will form on the string dipped inside too!

It was a perfect afternoon for our class prize! On this wet and windy day, everyone was warm and snug wearing their pjs – including Mrs Henderson!
It was great to see all of the much loved cuddly toys coming into school this morning. They were the perfect companions for our film this afternoon!
After a vote, it was narrowed down to 2 films. We decided to make use of both the classroom and the ICT room so that both films could be played at the same time. This allowed for the children to have more choice over what they watched. Both groups were so engaged in the films shown and it was so lovely to celebrate the wonderful first term we have had together! We all enjoyed a little snack whilst watching the film too!

We did it! We have worked hard all term to win enough pegs to fill the jar. Now we can enjoy our class prize!
On Friday 30th September we will have our pyjama day with a film. Pupils are welcome to bring in a cuddly toy to watch the film with them, if they wish.
