P7 – Sport Afternoon
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!
P7 Shoebox Appeal
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!
P4/3 Fireworks
We have learned about Firework Safety from a wee guy called Wellephant! We have written Firework Poems and drew great pictures using Clicker Paint.
P4/3 Water
We learned about Noah’s ark on all the water. We are working in groups to design a poster about conserving water. We have learned that conserve means to save.
P4/3 ICT
We have learned how to leave comments on glow. Some of the P6 pupils showed us how. Our teacher was glad because she does not have 48 eyes! We know this means that she could not go round everyone so the P6’s mentored us.

Happy Hallowe’en! In P1A we have been learning all about Hallowe’en. We carved a real pumpkin and also carved a pumpkin on the smart board. We worked well together in our groups. We also used our cutting and colouring skills to make a 3D witch. 
The Unsinkable Ship
Primary 4 have been learning lots about The Titanic in class and at home.
We created a large replica of the boat as a whole class and then set about individual missions where we were secret agents! (I bet no-one knew about our secret mission and the agents within this class!)
