Group 3 had a fantastic time at the Museum, Miss Burton was very impressed with how they could answer all the questions about Titanic. They also enjoyed the Science workshop.

On the Deck
On the journey back to Scotland some of us went on the deck to have a look at the view. We had to walk slowly and hold onto the railings. It was great fun!
On the Ferry
Primary 6 and 7 had quite an adventure on the ferry! We enjoyed lovely breakfast but then unfortunately some of us felt a little sick. Some of us went to the upper deck to chat and play games. On the way home the crossing was calmer, we had a yummy dinner including some of Kasse’s birthday cake and watched a film. Some of us went on the deck to look at the views.
P3 Spring Flowers
LI: We are learning to create 3D spring tulips using paper folding.
This week the children have been brightening up the P3 area with beautiful and colourful spring flowers. The children created the flower petals by carefully folding the paper three times. They managed this very well and chose lovely colours for their petals to match their vase shape. The children really enjoyed this art lesson and were extremely proud of their art work on display.
Brilliant Belfast Trip!
Fractions
Learning Intention – To find half of a shape
Success Criteria
- I can find half of a shape by folding
- I can show 2 equal parts
- I can write half in different ways
We have been learning to find half of a shape by folding it very carefully into two parts. We learnt that the two parts must be the same size. Each equal part is called a half. It was interesting to learn different ways to write half.
It was really tricky work, and we needed to stay focused on the task. We were very good at helping and encouraging each other.
Now we would like to find half of a number, and we already have some good ideas about how we can do this.

Validated Self Evaluation
As you will know a team of Education Officers and Head Teachers visited our school this session to look closely at three quality indicators from How Good is Our School. During this time they observed learning; spoke to pupils, parents, staff and partners. From this focused visit the school has updated its self-evaluation summary.

March Newsletter
Dear Parent/Carer,
Another term has passed back so quickly. It has been an extremely busy term in the school and nursery. The focus of our learning has been centred around the Healthy Families Healthy Children project. Throughout the school there has been a progression of learning around the importance of a balanced diet as well as the importance of exercise. Each class has made a business link with some visits continuing into next term. Many thanks to the parents/carers who came along to the open morning at the start of March.
I wish you all a very relaxing Spring break.
Nicola Thompson
