Primary 6 got a visit from the SSPCA today. They learned lots about animal welfare and how to protect vulnerable creatures.

In groups, pupils were coding a robotic cat to react in a specific way and create a back story for each robot.

Primary 6 would like to introduce our new class mascot Diego!

During our Sustainable Energy topic, Primary 6 were devastated with the amount of carbon emissions and deforestation that is still taking place today. They felt so passionately about this that we as a class knew we had to do something, so we adopted a Jaguar. Our adoption pack will help to safe guard parts of the Amazon rain forest which will give the jaguars a chance to repopulate and it will also protects areas of trees and habitats.

Here it is!

Primary 2/3 really enjoyed the challenge of making an igloo out of sugar cubes for our ‘Polar Explorers’ (Arctic and Antarctic) topic.

Here is the link if you want to try it at home. Have fun!

On Monday Primary 6 went to the Church to participate in ‘Bubble Gum and Fluff’ where the pupils revealed the real meaning of Christmas by ‘de-fluffing’ the clutter that surrounds it.

After activities and games the children were asked to pause for thought and write down a Christmas wish/prayer on a candle. These were then collated into a wreath and are on display in our classroom. Most children wished for happiness, and keeping their family safe.

Thank you for all the donations small and large which are building up as we go into advent. Will we have enough on Monday for 7, 8 and 9?

We are also still accepting direct gifts for our food bank Christmas boxes which are filling up nicely with food, cleaning products, toiletries and small children’s gifts. Well done P7 for organising this and for going to help at the centre.

Primary 2/3 have really enjoyed sharing their home learning with the class each week.

Thank you for all of your hard work P2/3 and fabulous home learning ideas!
