P6 have been very busy recently and wanted to share a few highlights from the past few weeks. We have been learning how to measure, using our Outdoor Learning space to help us estimate distance and check our measurements. We also had our class trip to visit Edinburgh as part of our Harry Potter topic. In class, we created our own wands and took part in some Wizards duals and have enjoyed taking part in some collaborative construction work.
Communication Questionnaire
Dear Parent/Carer,
Our newly formed Parent Council would like your views on how you would like the School and Parent Council to communicate with you. We will use this information to plan a Communication Strategy and set dates for sharing information. This will remain on the Blog until Sunday 17th December, when the responses will be collated and used to plan the strategy. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas.

Outdoor Learning Day with P2/3
P2/3 had a fantastic time today taking part in Outdoor Learning Day! We started our day off right with some delicious hot chocolate and a story before heading outside for an Autumn Scavenger Hunt! We then had some fun on the Trim Trail and made some bird feeders in the afternoon. A great time had by all! Thank you to our wonderful Mrs Thomas and PSW team for all their hard work.
