- about Ancient Egypt
- to use adverbs in our sentences
- to tell the time on digital and analogue clocks
Rannoch Group – Canoeing
Our group learned a lot from our fantastic canoeing activity this afternoon with Beth. We learned to work together, to row and steer a canoe, to hold canoes together to keep them steady, how to keep the canoe steady and make sure we didn’t fall in, as well as learning new skills for how to get water out of our wellies without taking them off! As part of our activity we had fun fishing rubber ducks from the water and trying to steal each other’s ducks from our canoes. We even threw stones in the water and waded in to have a splash around. Beth was great and taught us lots of new things.
Ardeonaig Camp – Earn Group Low Wires Course
Our group activity this afternoon was the low wires course, followed by archery. We really tested our balance and climbing skills and had lots of fun.
P6 Tay Group – Crate Climbing
It was a fantastic team effort from P6 in today’s crate climbing challenge. The pairs had 10 mins to build their tower as high as possible. Other team members were delivering crates on the crane whilst others manned the safety ropes. It was great fun!
P7 Trip To Glasgow
Before the Easter break P7M and P7D went to Glasgow.
As we had been reading Divided City and learning about Sectarianism we decided to visit St Mungo’s museum to take part in a sectarian workshop, an open top bus tour to learn more about the history of Glasgow and to visit places mentioned in the book.
On the way home, we took a detour to Celtic Park where the Old Firm game in the novel is set. We had a tour of the stadium which included sitting pitch side and getting to visit the home dressing room.
We all had a great day!
Primary 2 5 Senses Experiment
Primary 2 had great fun completing part 2 of our 5 senses experiment! We used our sense of touch to feel mystery objects and our sense of taste to determine the mystery foods!
We were having so much fun that Mrs O’shaughnessy wanted to join in!
P6 Camp Trip – Ardeonaig
P6 are off to Ardeonaig on Wednesday for some exciting outdoor adventures. We can’t wait!
Below is a copy of the kit list for our trip in case anyone has misplaced it.
Pupils should take a packed lunch with them on Wednesday and wear their school jumper for travelling. Some money (change) can be taken for use in the vending machine at the centre.
Pupils should not bring phones and expensive cameras, as these are not insured and we are unable to accept responsibility for these items. You can bring a disposable camera instead if you wish. Hairdryers, straighteners etc are also not used whilst we are at camp.
We will post photos etc on our school’s Twitter feed while we are away. Just follow us on Twitter, our handle is – @StJosephspswhit
School Bus Update
An alternative bus has been arranged and has just left with pupils on board. Thank you for your patience.
School Bus
The school bus has currently broken down outside the school. The bus company are in the process of working this out but pupils will be home a little later than expected. We will update you as soon as we know more.
