P5 have been making 3D model toucans from junk. They have also been set the challenge of creating a different Rainforest animal at home from recycled products. We have had a sneak preview of Jay McPhee and Zoe’s crocodiles and we cannot wait to see all the finished results!

P5 enjoyed taking part in the gymnastics taster session. They practised rolling, balancing and jumping and worked on creating more controlled finishes. Some children had so much fun that they are considering joining the gymnastics club at Armadale Academy.

Erin had her Special day last week. Everyone drew a picture and put it in a book for her.
Emma Meechan worked so hard last week that she got a certificate as a Successful Learner as well as being chosen as P2 Star of the week. She had a super time with Bobby.She took him to Perks for lunch on Friday. On Saturday he went to McDonalds. Bobby enjoyed watching the fireworks in Emma’s garden.

P7 pupils visited Armadale Academy last week to work with 4th Year pupils in a variety of different sports. The children were able to choose between basketball, badminton, football, benchball and dance.

P7 enjoyed their experiences at Armadale Academy and were given the opportunity to develop their skills in a variety of sports. Benchball was a clear favourite amongst those who chose this as one of their options and this is something we will play at some point in our PE learning over the next term.

We are looking forward to attending Armadale Academy next week for the Athletics Sports leader festival!

Over the last few weeks P7 pupils have been busy organising and packing shoeboxes full of sweets, school supplies, toiletries, clothing and toys to send to children in countries such as Kosovo, India and Romania. This was done as part of an appeal by the charity Blythswood Trust.

Thanks to the time and organisation of our P7 pupils and the generosity of our pupils, staff, parents and carers we managed to pack an incredible 55 shoe boxes as well as providing the charity with 3 sacks full of surplus supplies to be fitted into shoeboxes at their sorting warehouse.

The effort made will result in 55 children and young people receiving a Christmas gift this year as opposed to nothing at all.

The P7 pupils and I would like to thank everyone for their generosity and support for this wonderful charity!

We have learned about Firework Safety from a wee guy called Wellephant! We have written Firework Poems and drew great pictures using Clicker Paint.

P5 enjoyed writing acrostic poems about Hallowe’en. They tried hard to use ambitious vocabulary to create an eerie atmosphere. 

Fast finishers had fun writing some revolting rhymes!  Click on the link for lots of laughs.

Revolting Rhymes

P4/3 began a new topic on WATER this week. They want to find out lots of things even although they already know loads.

P4/3 made booklets from their fun worksheets and included a contents page.
