A small group of children joined our JRSO’s on a road safety walk on Thursday 26th November as part of Road Safety Week.  These children will feed back what they have learned to their classmates.  More walks will be planned throughout the rest of the school year so all the children get a chance to participate.  All the kids were very well behaved and really took on board all the aspects of road safety.  Well done to all!

I would also like to say a big thanks to all our pupils for taking part in “Be Bright, Be Seen” day.  The outfits were fantastic and it was really difficult to choose the brightest dressed from each class!  Congratulations to our winners!

We also had some fab posters entered into our Road Safety competition.  Each class had certain criteria to meet and a huge effort was made by all.

Thanks for all your hard work during Road Safety Week!  Laura and the JRSO’s 🙂

Both nurture classes have been working incredibly hard to prepare our Christmas display and it’s almost ready….Watch this space for photographs to follow on Monday night… A big well done to all pupils who have shown commitment and determination and demonstrated great team work skills.

It’s too snowy to come to school. I hope you’re all cosy and wrapped up.

I’d like you to spare a thought for the birds in your garden and feed them some seeds and fruit. If you have the materials to hand, have a go at making a simple bird feeder (see the instructions sheet).

Once your bird food is outside keep an eye open to see what birds you can spot. 🙂easy bird feeders

Thank you to everyone who took part in Stay and Play today.  We hope you enjoyed your visit to the nursery especially those of you who were lucky enough to get your hair done!

The Bear Cubs really enjoyed learning all about the people who help us every day through their topic. They really enjoyed bandaging each other up as well using the stethoscope to hear our heart beats.

We also really enjoyed the Wig Walk where we walked to the swings and back and had a great time!!

Primary 7 found the problem solving rather frustrating this morning but kept going! Some children have taken the problems home so that parents can have a go too!

This morning some of P5 and P6 worked hard to try and solve a shape problem using coins.  It took lots of perseverance as it was not as easy as it first looked!

As part of our communications topic, Primary 2/3/4 investigated the history of the telephone on Monday morning. We thought about how the technology has developed so we can use smartphones today. We then designed our own phones, thinking about what features they might have, and built them using Lego or connecting cubes.
