The Christmas Fayre was such a huge hit! Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported us. We will be counting up our profit today and this will be put towards our P7 hooodies.
In Maths we have been focusing on angle and coordinates. We have been looking at how we use angles to draw different types of triangles and ensuring that they are accurate by checking with a partner. In coordinates we are moving on to using all four quadrants to plot points. We will be able to use every quadrant and discuss how we know where to plot sets of coordinates.
We had art in class last week and we were working on our collaborative skills. Each child was given part of a whole picture and asked to copy the details on their part, and then we would put all the pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle to see the whole image. We had to think about scales and shading for this task and work with the people who had the connecting pieces to ensure the picture would be proportionate. The results were incredible and showed us just how differently each section could be interpreted.
Last week was an incredibly sporty week for us all! We started off with the handball tournament on Tuesday where the team didn’t lose a match! They came first overall and we are very proud of them! Wednesday saw two sporting achievements; Keira and Lauren who placed 6th and 8th in the SSBX skiing competition and the P7 Sportshall Athletics Festival! We are extremely proud of the girls for placing so high out of almost 100 participants and we hope our P7s had a great time at their festival.
The St Andrews Day assembly was a huge hit. Well done to all classes for their beautiful singing! Parents, there is still time to ask your child to sing the original version for you!

Thanks for an amazing Christmas Fare, I enjoyed helping out at the Tattoo stand with Mr Woodward. Im just a bit sad this will be my last time as Ole will be at BIG SCHOOL next year.
