P6 took part in first aid training today thanks to Mike and Dave from Lowport Centre. This was organised after P6 took an interest in first aid during our drugs education topic. The training was excellent and P6 have gained some valuable life skills. Here’s what P6 thought:

Amy says, “I was glad I took part in it because it’s an important skill.”

James says, “The dummies smelt funny”

Ian says, “Both the men who were running it said that I was the best.”

Arran says, “I learned how to do CPR properly!”

Niamh, “I learned how to put somebody into the recovery position.”

Euan “It was really fun and it’s a great life skill. The adults were much harder to give CPR to.”

Ayla: P2 and P2/3 made a volcano explosion. We mixed ingredients to make the lava and put it in a plastic bottle. It only exploded a wee bit.

All of the children were very excited to see the explosion!

Maya: P2 and P2/3 have been busy writing about dinosaurs. We were learning to use full stops, capital letters and to write on the line. We loved drawing the picture of the dinosaur.

Alex: Now P2 have moved on to a new topic which is the Olympics. I want to find out why they do lots of sports in the Olympics. This year it is happening in Rio.

Yixuan: We wrote what we know about the Olympics and what we would like to find out.

Cameron C: In the Olympics there is a lot of swimming races and jumping.

Daniel C: I would like to find out if they play rugby in the Olympics.

Izaak: I want to know if they play golf in the Olympics.

Kiernan: I learnt that the Olympic torch goes all around the country before the Olympics start.

Aiyasha: In maths I learnt that ½ means 1 half.

Kieran: We have been learning how to half a cake and half numbers.

Cameron A: I learnt an easy way to add 9. You add 10 and take 1 away.

Daniel: I’ve been learning to add 10.

Niamh: This week we learnt a new word which is ‘mature’. We are getting ready for going into P3!

Well done to the star of the week: Andrew!
