Andy from Jammin’ Fitness came out last month to work with the children on confidence and positive thinking. We are able to do anything we want as long as we put our mind to it. He spoke to the upper school in an inspirational and active assembly and then worked with P7 pupils on presentation skills.

Everyday we sell tuck at the beginning of school. Lately we haven’t been selling much so we thought we’d tell you about what we have and why tuck is good.
You can buy:
* biscuits
* a range of fruit – bananas, apples, oranges, raisins, pineapple and melon
* yoghurts
* cheese strings
The items vary in price starting at 10p.
Having a healthy snack at playtime provides us with lots of energy to help make our great brains work. If you buy tuck it helps the school to raise money to buy new things for our classes and our playground.
We hope to see more of you at tuck shop.
The tuck team – Jason B, Jenna and Elise
The Junior Road Safety Officers came to our class to teach us how to cross the road safely. Ava said, Â Emma was good at teaching her to stay safe on the road. Natalie said, it was fun learning to cross the road. Abigail said the JRSOs taught us to put our feet behind the kerb and Cate said we must look both ways to check for cars. We held hands and crossed the road when it was safe. Stephanie said we put on bright jackets so we can been seen by cars when it is dark. Luca learnt he can cross the road on his own when he is 11 years old. Louisa said we need to keep safe and Emma helped us to cross the road. Angeline helped Scot, Szymon and Alasdair to cross the road. Taylor helped Natalie, Poppy-Grace, Luca and Adam. Emma helped Ava, John and Sam. We enjoyed learning how to cross the road safely. Thank you to the JRSOs!

This week we performed some outstanding class talks. We were brilliant because we brought in props to support our talks, we were loud and clear for everyone to hear, everyone was included by asking questions, taking part in quizzes and singing songs.
There were lots of different talks.
Adam – my talk was about the Brazilian wandering spider.
Karis – my talk was about acrobatic gymnastics.
Arron – my talk was all about Judo.
James – my talk was about the plague.
The whole class were prepared and participated in their own class talk. Miss Cooke was amazed and can’t wait until the next lot of talks.
By Primary 6/5
We went along to Stoneyburn Primary School to take part in a Maths Problem solving challenge day.
We talked about different types of problems we can be given and the different strategies we might use to solve them.
We had lots of opportunities to work through different types of problems – logic, finding different possibilities, visual and rules and patterns.
Scott – I really enjoyed the logic problem all about Lego.
Jason – I really liked when I got to work out how many ways I could arrange number cards 1-15.
In the afternoon, we tackled 3 challenging questions. One was about how many jelly babies we would need to pull out of the bag to ensure we got one of each colour. The second question asked us to work out whether it was quicker to travel by horse and cart then a donkey or to walk the whole way.
The last question was the hardest and most challenging. We had to use our logic problem skills to work out the name and job of the son and Father. Â We found it hard but we didn’t give up.
Can you solve the problem?
Messrs. Baker, Butcher, Farmer, Joiner and Plumber are all residents of the small village of Haar. They are the sons of a baker, a butcher, a farmer, a joiner and a plumber, who are all retired, and they themselves work as a baker, a butcher, a farmer, a joiner and a plumber. None of the five has a name which is that of his father’s occupation or of his own occupation; and none follows his father’s occupation. None has, as yet, a son of his own. Here are five clues to help you find out the occupation of each of the five villagers and the occupations of their fathers. 1. The retired plumber’s son is engaged to a girl in the neighbouring village of Smirr. 2. The village badminton team, which has four players, consists of Mr Baker, Mr Plumber, the retired butcher’s son and the joiner. 3. Mr Butcher and the retired baker’s son married sisters. 4. The village folk group, HearHaar, is made up of the retired farmer’s son on guitar, the plumber on fiddle and Mr Butcher on percussion. 5. The joiner is the only unmarried man in the list.
