Our Bikeability sessions have now ended for this year. Our P6s have done brilliantly over the past 5 weeks, learning new skills to keep them safe when out cycling on the roads.
Well done P6!
When we created our Class Charter at the start of the year, the most important quality the children wanted to see in their classmates and staff, was kindness. With this in mind, we set out to create a ‘Ripples of Kindness’ display in our school foyer so that others could be made aware of the importance of small acts of kindness too.
We used oil pastels to create the ‘ripple lines’ that would be seen if a pebble was thrown in water. Then, we experimented with water colour paints, using the ‘wet on wet’ technique. It was so relaxing, watching the colours spread and mix, as we placed our wet brushes on the card.
Time spent playing around with the paints, mixing colours and adding more or less water to our card, definitely paid off! The finished results are beautiful! Well done P4-5-6!
Now, we are thinking about the different ‘types’ of kind acts we can do and the positive ‘ripples’ they can send to others in school, at home and in our community.
Please stop and take a look when you visit school next week.

We had fun in the sun this afternoon during our Playful Minutes time. There were burritos being made in the mud kitchen, balancing and hula hooping skills being developed and of course a game of football being played!
Some chose to stay indoors and play in their restaurant, making us all yummy things to eat as we were playing. I wonder what will be on the menu next week…

Our Health and Well-being work this term has centred around the safe use of medicines. This led us to find out about basic first aid techniques that should be carried out when minor injuries happen. Discussions naturally developed into what would happen if….? We decided to invite Andrew Best, a First Aid Responder, to talk to our class and to demonstrate what would happen in more serious situations.
We then had the opportunity to practise putting our partners in the recovery position.
Andrew and Jack then showed us what to do if the person wasn’t breathing. He talked us through making a 999 call and emphasised the importance of getting help quickly. We’ll talk more about this next week.
He talked us through giving CPR on adult bodies, children and babies. We all got to experience what this felt like using his dummies. We were surprised at how hard and deep you had to press down!
Andrew showed us how to use a defibrillator and we talked about where to find the nearest one to our school.
We would like to say a big thank you to Andrew and Jack. Everyone has hopefully learned some life long skills today and, who knows, maybe a spark of interest for some future careers has been lit!

What an exciting Wednesday it has been! We enjoyed a visit from the Fire Service this afternoon. Everyone took turns to use the hose and sit in the Fire Engine. It was great fun!
To continue being active this week, we took a walk up to the shop to post our World Book Day author letters. We are hoping that, in time, we’ll get some replies! We took a detour on the way back to make our walk a bit longer. Thank you to John and Eilidh’s Mum for joining us.

This afternoon, for The BIg Walk and Wheel Challenge, organised by the JRSOs, P1-7 came together to play games in the playground. Such a great way to get active!
The P6 Playleaders got the chance to build on their recent training, leading the younger classes in a variety of games. Everyone did so well to listen to the instructions given by the P6 girls.
In the multicourt, Ms. Scanlan lead a game of dodgeball too with the P4/5/6 and P6/7 classes. We hope to continue with our active times together, as often as we can!

Some pupils in our class took part in a swimming competition in Lerwick recently. Robbie and Kirsty took in their medals to show us! Didn’t they do well!

Yesterday, our Primary 6 JRSOs had a visit from Police Sergeant Douglas. He came to talk to them about road safety and asked them about their previous JRSO campaign. He let them see the speed gun and explained how it worked. We are very grateful that he gave up his time for us. Please look out for more JRSO work coming in the near future!

We’ve had a lovely day in P5/6! We started off working on refreshing some of our times tables by making fortune tellers and testing our friends. Then it was outside to work on our fitness in Class PE. We clocked up an amazing total of 194 laps of the multicourt as a class!! Our Accelerated Reader time was so peaceful and relaxing after our run outside. We also worked in pairs to talk about positive emotions…naming them, recognising what they look like, compiling lists of what makes us feel good and, perhaps the most difficult to describe, how our bodies feel physically when we feel good. The afternoon was spent designing our Christmas cards!! Yes…in September!
Sometimes, the most fun and memorable things to happen are the unexpected moments! Today, we were gifted a pile of tree cuttings from our nature garden for P5/6 to use in the grassy area to make dens. I was delighted to see the joy and excitement this brought to everyone and we are keeping fingers crossed for good weather next week so we can enjoy it. I also loved seeing the enthusiasm and team work bringing up the branches! 😃
