The pupils in P3A have contributed to the school garden by creating a Minion themed area. They made Minions by painting stones and created a Minion tyre planter too.

Natural Disasters in P6/5
P6/5 have been learning about different types of natural disaster. They were keen to find out more about volcanoes and completed many challenges finding out about where volcanoes are and researching the city of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pupils worked in groups to create their own papier mache volcanoes. We then took them outside and simulated eruptions using coke and mentos. Everyone had a lot of fun but it was a bit sticky!
Dalguise Trip 2015
On Friday morning we welcomed P6 and P7 pupils back from Dalguise. They looked happy …. but tired !
I would like to thank the 3 members of staff – Mrs Ireland, Mrs Thomson and Mrs Williamson – on behalf of the pupils , parents and school.
As I am sure you understand, without their willingness to leave their homes and families for this time, we would not be able to go.
Many thanks also to staff who organised the ‘Alternative Week’ in week in school – it was great too.
I am looking forward to seeing what they have been up to on Friday at their assembly.
P7- The Sun is out- Time for the Solar power circuit challenge
The sun was shining bright on Boghall this week. It was time for the solar power circuit challenge. Pupils were given a box of materials and set the challenge to build a circuit using solar energy to make the propellor and buzzer work. We observed and recorded what we did and shared our findings and conclusions with the class.
Outdoor phonics in P3
Summer’s here!
Primary 5 have been making the most of the lovely warm weather this week and have enjoyed some outdoor learning. They went on a nature walk around the school grounds and made lovely bracelets using all the colourful things that nature had to offer.
They also took their spelling lesson outside, using chalk to practise their tricky words!
