Many thanks to all who attended our sharing the learning event. We all enjoyed listening to what the children had learned this far in primary 4. Making the dream jars was also a fun task and it was so nice to hear that Alexis and her family all added their dreams to her jar when she brought it home!!

Another sharing the learning event will be held next year xx

Primary 7 have spent time this week learning about Remembrance in preparation for this Sunday when we learned that it will be 100 years since Armistice Day – which marked the end of the first World War.

We wrote emotive poems , designed a poppy bench or Poppy Garden and also sketched flowers inspired by the poem “Flander’s fields” and poppies from our own school garden!

Primary 7 are very pleased to have completed their SNSA testing this week and have been looking forward to their DCHS transition morning where they will be studying social subjects.

It has been another busy week in primary 3/4. We learned about Guy Fawkes and wrote a fact file about the Gunpowder Plot. Here is some information of what we learned:

” Guy Fawkes and his 12 friends including Robert Catesby did not like the decisions King James 1 made and so decided to kill him” (Hope)

“The plot was not successful because the King’s guards discovered the barrels under the Houses of Parliament and they sent Guy Fawkes and his friends to jail.” (Jaxson)

In science we looked at living and non- living things and grouped them accordingly.

With Mrs Dobbie ,we learned the story of Moses and worked together to sequence the events in the correct order.

It has been a busy week and we are looking forward to out sharing the learning event next week.

Choir will begin again this week- but this year as an after school club- for anyone in P5 – 7. We will be meeting on a Wednesday from 3.15 – 4.00. There has already been a positive response and many of our previous choir members are returning. Our first task will be to choose our selection of songs for WL Council Christmas choirs  and to get our voices warmed up and ready with a few favourites first of all!
