P1 enjoyed a visit from their P7 buddies this afternoon, who came down to read a story to them. The P7 children engaged beautifully with P1, reading enthusiastically with fantastic expression and fluency. The P7 children chose great quality picture books which had their buddies smiling, talking about the pictures and laughing at the funny plots. Thank you again P7!
Good Afternoon,
During Parental Consultations on Thursday, 10th of October 2019, artwork completed by all our children, across Primaries 1-7 will be on display. This is an opportunity to showcase their learning, following our recent partnership work with the National Galleries. We are sure you will be delighted with what they have produced.
On the night, you will have the opportunity to purchase your child’s work for a fee of £7. All work has been professionally framed and would be a wonderful keepsake.
Regards
Mrs Mooney

This week in P7/6 we:
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Lauder.
Over the past few weeks, P1 have become more and more confident in their Maths learning. The children have been identifying, naming and writing numbers. They have also been using lots of different materials to improve their 1:1 correspondence when counting objects.
P1 continued their learning in their Science topic today: Our Incredible Body. This week, they were learning about the heart, its position in our body, its important job and what happens to it when we exercise.
To start our lesson, we explored what we already knew about our hearts:
Kalvin – “It bleeds!”
Aimee-Leigh – “It beats!”
Flynn – “It is near the lungs!”
The children had fun throughout the lesson listening to their own hearts beat through a stethoscope and comparing how our heart felt before and after a short burst of exercise. We even played with some pretend blood and droppers to simulate how the heart works as a pump . Great work P1!
P5.4 braved the elements earlier to work in teams to estimate, measure and record each other’s height using centimetres and metres. They then compared their answers with other teams to order our class from tallest to smallest. 
Good evening.We are delighted to announce that the Parent Council will be holding a Race Night on Friday 1st November 2019. The money raised at these events goes towards providing invaluable resources and experiences for our children across the school and nursery.To help support this wonderful event, the Parent Council are looking for donations from our school community, namely; bottles, sweets, gift sets, vouchers etc. If you are able to support this fund raising event, donations can be delivered to the school office. Please don’t give children bottles or valuable items to bring to the school.As always, thank you for your continued support.Mrs Mooney
Today in P1, the children had fun learning another new sound: ‘t’.
They learned what this sound looks like, sounds like, how to write it and where in the mouth this sound is made. They explored the formation of this sound through play-dough and tracing boards, followed by sorting pictures on the Smartboard. Successful Learners all round!
