We have been learning about the Romans. We have made Roman Armour and also Mind Maps when we were watching Horrible Histories about the Romans and how they ate their dinner and what they wore and their Battle equipment.

It is the 30 year anniversary of the first Where’s Wally book. As part of World Book Day on Thursday the pupil council has organised a Where’s Wally school hunt.

Cut outs of Wally will be hiding around the playground in the morning, at break and at lunch on Thursday. If you find him you could get a prize!

The pupil council will be coming round the classes today to explain the rules and times of the hunt!

P6/7 have been learning about different types of angles.  We have drawn out an obtuse, acute and reflex angle and we have checked these in our table groups.  We are also improving at using protractors.

Read, Write, Count’s new parental engagement campaign, ‘Future Me’ launched on 2oth February 2017.

Future Me, as part of Read, Write, Count, asks parents and carers to talk to their children to discover what their children’s hopes and dreams are, to share those dreams on our Future Me wall and make a promise to do all they can to help their child realise their ambitions. It’s about what’s important to the children of Scotland, and parents making a commitment to help their child imagine a great future and live out those dreams. Future Me’s wall will preserve those dreams, and build a picture of Scotland’s children’s hopes and ambitions – a country that believes every child has the right to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.

A copy of the leaflet to find out more information will be given out to children in P 1 – 3

The Future Me will help parents understand that learning together is useful and purposeful, we want them to feel positive, confident and optimistic about learning together and to engage in their children’s learning journey. By taking part in Future Me together families become closer, the child feels supported by their parent and the parent feels empowered to make a lasting difference to their child’s future, whatever they imagine that to be.

Please complete the survey by February 28th below and you will be entered into a prize draw where you could win a personal Read, Write, Count Goodie bag filled with books, games and activities for all the family to enjoy.
