What fun we all had when we received the two boxes of Roman artefacts from Biggar Museum. The pupils tried to guess what some of the objects may have been used for. We had some very interesting guesses.

A big thank you to Biggar Museum for loaning us the items.

We are delighted to hear that our evidence plan has passed the accreditation and we have been awarded the Silver award. The pupils and children have enjoyed working on this process and are loving the reading activities we have introduced. Reading Rocks!

In our Roman topic this week we made Roman bath houses. What a great job P1-7 made of them. A spa day there would be fabulous we all agreed!

P4-7 are loving their weekly sessions with Sandie from RZSS.They are loving the online lessons and the activities related to each lesson.

Session 3 was a great success this week.All pupils made and flew their own kites…..and what a perfect day it was for kite flying!The children had a wonderful time.

Thank you Claire.

On Tuesday 25th January the pupils took part in their second session with Claire of Wild Things.P1-3 made nature crowns and P4-7 made willow stars. The all worked hard, had a great time and were very proud of what they produced. After that, it was a game of noughts and crosses.

On Tuesday 25th January all pupils in school recited a Scots poem. The children had worked very hard and we are all so proud of them for having the confidence to recite their poems in front of all staff and pupils.

P4-7 have started a block of work called Beyond the Panda in conjunction with the wildlife conservation charity R.Z.S.S.

Their first session was a fact finding session all about the Giant Panda. The pupils learned lots and even saw a real panda skull. The pupils are looking forward to the rest of the sessions and are excited about what they will learn.

Rebecca had her first Transition meeting this week. She was on an online meeting with Mr Stewart and Miss McFarlane along with the P7 pupils from Abington Primary.

Rebecca really enjoyed the meeting and learned lots about Biggar High School. She went on a tour of the school through Miss McFarlane’s phone. Rebecca has received her Mission Transition folder and is looking forward to starting work on that next week.

This week was the last session of Music with Mr Johnstone for P4-7. The pupils took part in a music quiz which revised all the work Mr Johnstone has done with the pupils over the last few months.

A big thank you to Mr Johnstone for the online lessons and especially for the face to face sessions before Christmas.
