This week we have been learning our songs and we have been given parts for our assembly. We are all excited and looking forward to performing in front of our parents and the whole school. We enjoyed making our Mother’s day cards and we hope that our mums will like them. We made them to show our mums how much we love them. We enjoyed dressing up as a character from a book on World book day.

P6 – week ending 1.3.13
We have had a really busy week!
We are sad to say goodbye to Eliza who is moving to Armadale and is leaving us to join St Anthony’s.
We were all amazed by the Human Calculator this week – his head works faster than we can work calculators!
Cricket was the sport of the week and we have a coach coming in to work with us over the next few weeks. We really enjoyed the first session.
Our class trip has been booked and we are heading to New Lanark on Tuesday 19th March. We are looking forward to seeing the cotton mills and how they used to work as we read a lot about this in our Desperate Journey topic.
An Electrifying Week!
This week, Primary Five received a very interesting talk from a Powerwise employee. They learned:
- about conductors and insulators of electricity
- to stay away from cables and in particular, red wires
- to keep water away from electricity
- to make sure the socket switch is off before inserting a plug
- be aware of warning signs near electrical points
- keep an eye on younger children when using electricity
- playing with electricity is never a game!
Primary Five feel that they can make sure that their families and themselves are far more safe when using electricity. 🙂
A week in primary 3!
We have had a busy week in primary three! We have learned all about Egyptian pharaohs and made our own fact cards about them. We also had a very important talk from ‘powerwise’ telling us how to be safe with electricity. Some of the pupils are also getting ready to make their reconciliation which will be on the 25th March!
Primary 2 Learning Log
This week we have been writing letters to Mrs Purdie to tell her about the strenghths of the school and any changes we would like to see. We tried hard with our letters and worked independently. We also enjoyed drawing Spring flowers (daffodils) in art and Design as March signifies the beginning of Spring. We are looking for signs of Spring all around us.
