The children enjoyed a kickboxing taster session last week. We spoke about the importance of only practising kickboxing as part of an organised class, not outside in the playground or anywhere else.
Today, the pre-school nursery boys and girls came to the Primary 1 classroom to begin their transition into P1.
Thank you to all who came along to the primary one class assembly this afternoon. The children have worked extremely hard over the past week to prepare for today and we hope that you enjoyed finding out about what we have learned this year!
Last week, we were learning about dairy farms. We learned that ‘dairy’ products are products that are made from milk. We had great fun being scientists and experimenting with cream to try to make butter! Unfortunately, after a LOT of shaking, our butter did not quite turn out as planned. Luckily, there was some ‘pre-made’ butter in the school kitchen, so we were still able to have our crackers and biscuits with butter, even if it wasn’t butter we had made ourselves! We had great fun being scientists and trying though!
Today, Primary one have been learning about money. They have had lots of fun investigating what the different coins look and feel like. Please encourage the children to continue investigating money at home and discuss different coins with them. They are excited about helping to pay for items when out and about!
Welcome back after the Easter holidays!
Today, we had a Judo Taster session. Look out for the leaflet about Judo club in your school bag!
As a school we are working towards Level 2 for Rights respecting Schools. We have decided to introduce a “right” to focus on each month.
Article 12
You have the right to give your opinion, and for your adults to take it seriously
 This article says we have the right to have our say and help make decisions.
In school we watch Newsround and share our opinions and discuss recent news. We make sure we listen to others opinions, take them on board and respect them.
Learning to give our opinions now will help us to be more confident making decisions in the near future.
There are a lot of things in our school that lots of pupils agree and disagree on so we let every pupil say what they think.
Things you can do at home:
* Watch CBBC Newsround
* Look at newspapers with your parents
* Discuss news with your family and give your opinions

On Tuesday, we had our second dance workshop with Hannah. This week, we learned a dance to the Lion King – I Just Can’t Wait to be King!
On Wednesday, 22nd February, we were joined by the P1’s from Stoneyburn to learn about recycling. We sorted items into ‘recyclable’ and ‘non-recyclable’. We also made recycling superheroes with Mrs Sibblad.
Yesterday we took part in a dance taster session. We had lots of fun dancing to ‘Brave’!
