Dylan Hurst, a P7 pupil recently competed in a Scotland National Gala swimming event and got through to the finals for all his strokes. He won 2 medals, silver for breast stroke and bronze for front crawl. Dylan was very happy to be representing the school. Well Done Dylan – we are very proud of your achievement!

Primary 7 have been working on learning some Sign-Along with the help of Jakki.

They have learnt the alphabet and some other words to describe animals, food and activities.

They have enjoyed the lessons and can sign their name. My challenge for next week is to learn their names to be able to sign them at assembly!

As part of out Food and Health topic, Primary 5 visited the Lime Kiln restaurant on Wednesday. We had a tour of the kitchen, created our own salads, decorated biscuits and had a delicious lunch.

Primary 5 asked the chef and manager loads of great questions, here are some of the many things we found out:

‘I learned that different coloured chopping boards are used for different foods.’ – Luke M

‘I learned that the meat has to go at the bottom of the fridge because if it is at the top it might drip onto other foods.’ – Scott

‘I learned that the freezer is minus 18 degrees. We couldn’t stay in there for very long.’ – Abbey

‘I learned that they have up to 6 chefs when they are busy.’ – Shane

‘I discovered I like olive oil on salad.’ – Samuel

Thank you to all the staff at the Lime Kiln for an informative, fun and tasty visit!
