P7H and P7G enjoyed their visit this afternoon from Chris George of Denvir Marketing and Cathy Gladwin the creator of Hob Angel.
P7 found out what it takes to be a leader of a successful and growing business.
We asked our visitors excellent questions about their experiences and their companies.
Last week was Digital Learning Week where the children were given lots of opportunities to work on lessons using ICT.
We used the iPads to create digital books using the app Book Creator. 
We used the iPads to create mind maps on the Aztecs using the Popplet app.
We worked with Mr Grant on our Forces project looking at Acceleration. We put a chip inside a sponge ball and then took turns throwing and kicking the ball. The results of how fast the ball was going were shown on the computer.
We worked hard on our Aztec reports. 
We enjoy reading with our P1 Reading Buddies.
We had fun with the P7 Sports Leaders on Friday afternoon.
Every week the children undertake ‘Digital Learning’. This week however has been identified nationally as a Digital Learning Week and P4/5K have continued to develop their skills and understanding in this way.

The class began practising skills they will require for Sports Day. Balancing a tennis ball on the racket and throwing and catching a rugby ball. While throwing and catching the rugby ball we shouted out the answers to multiplication problems, from a variety of tables, next time we shall practise division.
Showing the answers to our division problems using fans.
We were learning about Scottish and Aztec culture and society this week. It was great to hear what they associated with being Scottish and we compared our hierarchy with that of the Aztecs.
P6M have thoroughly enjoyed learning the rules of cricket with the Sports Leaders.
This week they have been focussing on throwing and catching as well as the rules of playing as a team.
P5/6 tried out the clarinet and the euphonium this week.
They are having a wonderful time learning all about these instruments.
Four P7 pupils entered the local heat of the Young Engineers Competition. Over a few months under the careful guidance of Mrs Calway a group of pupils built an electric car from wood, cardboard, batteries and wire. They then designed a theme for decorating their car and wrote a detailed report on their planning and design.
Lewis, Lucas, Samantha and Emily went to St Modan’s to test their car against five other teams from neighbouring schools. The cars were tested to see if they could run in a straight line and get up various gradients on a ramp. They were also questioned in depth about their designs.
Samantha and Emily won best design and best car overall! Congratulations on a well deserved win girls and to the boys who also made us proud.
The pupils in P7 studied the work of Graffiti artist Banksy. They learned that Banksy uses his work to send out powerful messages which convey his views on important issues.
After learning about Banksy and looking at his work to identify the messages he was trying to convey, the pupils then took part in a debate about whether Banksy’s work is art or vandalism. They used their talking and listening skills and used evidence to justify their opinions. The outcome was that most of the class believed Banksy’s work to be art.
The class then used their art skills to create their own work in the style of Banksy. Take a look below and tell us what you think.
Our finished Life Cycle Display. Didn’t they do a great job!
Our Science lesson today was on the spreading of infection. The class played a game to show how quickly an infection can be spread.
The Primary 4 children, preparing for their First Holy Communion, came together to practise their Mass responses.
P5/6A had a taster cricket session today which was enjoyed by all.
