I challenged Jodie to write a poem as good as some of the work we had looked at by other schools, at the Poppy Factory. This was the result:
Think she did a fantastic job. What do you think?

Our Thank You Card to the Poppy Factory.
Children in P6/7 wanted to say a special thank you to the staff at the Lady Haig Poppy Factory after a fantastic trip yesterday. They made this card for staff. Please take the time to read the poems and messages from the children.
Sponsor a Child
P6/7 would like to thank those who helped in our bring and buy sale. We raised over £300 which will enable us to sponsor a child for a year. Please watch this space for more news on this.
Poppytastic visit to Lady Haig Poppy Factory.
Primary 6/7 had a fantastic morning spent with the ex service men, at the Lady Haig Poppy Factory. Children learned the significance of the poppy and how the money raised is used to help ex service men, woman and their families in times of need. They were able to chat with the ex service men working there and take part in making some poppies themselves. The men at the factory also made a wreath for our school, with our school badge, which we will be able to display in the school.
Snow day p7
Remember your snow packs. In case the dog has eaten them or they have been stolen by some monster in your room, you can:
- Write a snow day diary
- Plan your ideal igloo using perimeter and area
- Write a snow day adventure story
- Learn your lines and song words for Oliver
- Build something in the snow and take a picture to show or add to here.
Hopefully see you tomorrow.

Fruit Smoothie Challenge
After three weeks of working on our Smoothie Challenge, in business teams of four or five, we finally found out the winners. They were Ryan Shaw, Ellie McDougall, Adam Clair and Emma Russell from business team ‘The Funky Fruit Gang’. Their winning smoothie was callled the ‘Sweet Tooth’. All groups worked very hard and it was a close competition. A big well done to all children in P3/4.
Science Club!
Children were randomly selected to go to the Glasgow Science Centre to take part in a science exhibit. Children were asked to do a short presentation of what they had being doing in their club and then took part in 3 min science and engineering challenges, run by STEM. Children were able to take part in lots of activities during the day and watch a 3D movie in the Imax cinema. There was an award ceremony at the end. Children had a fantastic time and have asked for Science Club to continue next year so watch this space.

The business teams.
Fruit Smoothie Challenge!
P3/4 has undertaken a challenge this week, to create a business which would produce and promote a fruit smoothie. Children have formed business teams and designed a logo for their business. Each busines has started to research different fruit combinations for their smoothie. Children will be issued tasks to complete from now until the end of term and will be secretly graded on the quality of their work and their success in meeting their learning intentions. The winning team will make their fruit smoothie for the P7 Leaver’s assesmbly.
Homework will be to research food products, packaging and advertising to help complete challenges. We will continue to keep you updated. Please check the blog for regular up dates.
Olympic Science
As part of their Science lesson, P3/4 were given a challenge. They were asked to predict if the person with the longest legs in their group would jump the furthest. Children took part in a blind count and most children predicted that it would be the person with the longest legs that would jump farthest. Children then conducted an investigation to solve this challenge. Each child had their leg measured and recorded. They then took part in a standing long jump event. To keep the test fair, children made sure they started from the same position, they jumped three times and took the best measurement and when measuring they had someone to check their measurements.
They discovered that it didn’t matter the length of a persons legs when it came to jumping but technique was very important.
