Morning! Hope you all had a lovely long weekend and looking forward to the final few weeks of the school year!
Last week P6 were given the opportunity to experience what High School life would be like. Both classes set off excitedly to Deans Community High School and got to experience a range of lessons in English, Maths, PE, Music, Science and Social Subjects. The high school teachers prepared a range of activities that were very motivating, we had never seen the children so quiet! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are now looking forward to the continued transition experiences in P7.
P6 have also been busy designing their own animations using the I Pads. This has been a very exciting learning opportunity for the children and we hope to share some of these later on in June on our Open Day. Below are some pictures of the children preparing their characters and backdrops before filming their scenes.
This Friday we will be taking P6 to a Rugby Festival at the Rugby Club in Livingston. The children will be leaving school at 9am and returning by 12pm. They will need warm clothing, waterproofs and sensible footwear as well as a water bottle and snack. We are looking for four parent helpers so if you would be interesting in giving us a hand then please contact the school office. The children will be coming home with letters today so please complete the EE2 forms required.
Next week the children will continue their rugby taster sessions so please can you make sure your child brings their outdoor PE kit to school on Monday and Wednesdays.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our student, Miss Blackwall, who passed her PGDE course and placements and will start her teaching career in the next academic session in the Glasgow area! This is our last week with her and she has been a fabulous addition to the P6 team.
Have a good week!
Mrs Smith, Mrs Muir & Mrs Kelly
