Lights,Camera,Action! P7S were fortunate enough to visit Sky Academy this morning to produce their own News Report on Cyberbullying. Each group were assigned their own studio and roles. From Directors, Producers and Editors to Camera Operatives, Presenters and Reporters. Having previously worked on their brief in school the class were ready to prepare and film their report. It was great to see such amazing teamwork at work and the final cut was both informative and entertaining. Well done P7S!
A little reminder that our first parent group meetings will be held tomorrow and Wednesday. This will be a very informal meeting for parents and a staff member to get together and see how much interest/helpers we can gather for raising much needed funds for the Nursery.
We would love to hear your idea’s for fundraising and would be delighted if you could attend either meeting. Refreshments will be available. Please meet in the nursery and we can use the school parent room.
Tuesday 25th February – 12pm
Wednesday 26th February – 1.30pm
During our Science lessons this term we have been learning about different materials. Mrs Beattie set us a challenge to try and build our very own bridges using different materials.
Each group were given the choice between spaghetti and blue tac or cubes. By the end of the lesson we were to create our own bridges using our chosen material followed by an explanation as to which method was better and why.
We are looking forward to learning even more about materials over the course of this term!

This week we have been learning how to use a dictionary. We learnt when we would need to use a dictionary and how to use it correctly. Before we could do this we completed BBC Supermovers Alphabet dance to double check we could remember the letters in the correct order.
Miss Walkingshaw set us a challenge in pairs to see if we could find the real meaning behind words we use a lot during our learning. We had lots of fun taking part in this challenge as we were able to do it with our friends. Some of the words were tricky to find but we showed our resilience and kept on trying!
As you can tell we liked it so much we had to take another photograph to show you our smiling faces!

We are planning a welly walk with the children to celebrate and try out our waterproof trousers that the PSA kindly purchased. We will be doing this during outdoor group time on a wet day when there are lots of puddles. Rather than ask parents to sponsor the children, we are asking for kind donations to help us raise further funds to buy more waterproof trousers. A donation tub is in the main foyer beside the registers. Your donations would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Children will need to bring a packed lunch on Monday 17th February and Tuesday 18th February as the school kitchen will be closed.
Many thanks

On Friday Primary 7/6L visited the Sky Academy studios to film our own news report on a topic we find particularly important to our class. Our class sponsor an orangutan from the WWF and through our science context last term we began researching endangered animals. We created and shared persuasive presentations with our class and also the school and our parents through our class assembly. We worked in 4 teams to research and script part of a report before visiting the studios on Friday. We then finished researching and writing our scripts on ipads to be used as an autocue for our reporters to share in our report. We all had a role within our studio groups. Each studio had a producer, director, editor, camera person, presenter/ reporter and an eye witness or expert to share their knowledge. We reported in detail on the most endangered list, the threats to endangered animals, some species in particular and also what we can do to help. We then watched our completed report in a cinema before taking a tour of the Sky building.
On Thursday afternoon P7/6L spent the afternoon working with Alan Hamilton in class to learn more about World War 2. We went through a detailed timeline of the war, beginning with the end of WW1. What was particularly fascinating was looking at a world map clearly showing the Allies, Axis and neutral countries in different colours. This clearly demonstrated the shift in power for the Allied countries throughout the war. We took part in a quiz and also looked at some artifacts from the war including jackets worn by paratroopers on D-day and also coins issued by King George to the families of soldiers lost during the war.
Today we had been learning even more information about the Romans. This afternoon we were lucky enough to learn about the Colosseum and had a chance to create our own.
We were set a task to create our own Colosseum using only one material from the list below:
We have been focusing on teamwork over the past few weeks and we were able to show how good we are at this during the task.
Here is some of our amazing work.
We are very proud of all our hard work!

Today is Read Aloud Day and P1 were very lucky to have primary 7 pupils read stories to them.
Some P1’s are joining in on the story telling too!
Primary 1 made these super Humpty Dumpty puppets in technology and used them to give puppet shows in class.
