Congratulations P6 for a great day out at cross country today. All the staff who attended with you were so proud of the positivity and you all cheered your friends on. Everyone worked really hard on this tough race and I am very proud of each and every one of you. Well done to Paul who came 3rd place in the boys race and to Freya who scored within the top 10 for the girls race. Paul will have the opportunity to attend the championships when he is in P7 – great work!!

Congratulations! P6 Cross Country
Congratulations P6 for a fantastic effort at the Cross Country event today in Polbeth. You all did yourselves proud with everyone completing the course. It was great to see you all cheering each other on. Great sportsmanship! Special mention to this superstar who managed to finish 3rd. Considering there were 5 other schools competing that was some achievement!
P5 Trip to Surgeons’ Hall
Primary 5A and 5B went to visit Surgeons’ Hall Museum in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
We took part in a workshop to learn about how surgery was performed in the past and how this has helped to shape the procedures we are lucky enough to have today.
We handled some old instruments and had to guess what they were used for, then some lucky volunteers demonstrated what it would have been like to undergo certain procedures back in the bad old days – we all agreed we’d much rather have to go to hospital in this century than back then!
We then looked at some of the exhibits, including some hands-on robotics which allowed us to see what it is like when robots perform surgery.
Afterwards we enjoyed lunch outside in the sunshine before returning to school.
Everyone feels ready now to begin our new IDL context on Human Body Systems.
