Here are our Happy Campers! Everyone arrived safely and are looking forward to their adventure week.
Camp Update 2 at 14.20 a.m.
Hi All,
Everyone at camp has been fed and watered and our staff reported that there was plenty of variety and choice for all.
The whole group has now been split into their 4 activity groups and were just heading off to take part in their first outdoor activity.
The afternoon activities include Zip Wire, Trapeze and Motorsports. The groups will have a chance to take part in 2 activities this afternoon before heading off to dinner.
Each group has a member of staff with them…poor Mrs Stewart is gutted as she has been told she’s too old for the quad bikes!!!
P.S. I have been sent a photograph but can’t get it to upload yet – I’m working on fixing this but will pop a copy onto the parent noticeboard outside the school.

Dalguise Happy Campers!
We are happy to report that our campers have all arrived safe and well at Dalguise.
The group are currently having a quick meeting and welcome session with the Dalguise staff and going over some of the basic rules, fire procedures etc. They will be heading for their lunch at 12.15 and then will be getting stuck into their afternoon activities.
We will try to keep you updated as news come in from our staff. Photographs to follow once the children get settled and have their lunch. Thanks to all our parents for their support and patience this morning.

Hello from P5/4
Another busy week goes by in P5/4. Can we say a huge thanks to all the parents and carers who came to parents evening last night – it was great to see you all!
This week has been another busy one and we only have one week left before the October Holidays! This week we have:
* Learned about speech marks and speech bubbles.
* Learning how to work in groups and co-operate with each other.
* Continued to work on our writing skills.
* We learned what happens when we add -er & -est to a word.
The boys and girls have a handball tournament coming up on Monday 3rd November and we will be issuing a letter with full details very soon.
Hope everyone has a smashing weekend – this is P5/4 signing off!
Miss Moir’s Eco Masterclass
Miss Moir’s group had a great day through their Eco Msterclass. The group painted newspaper with bright colours, took photographs of the garden and then used these photographs to recreate the image using the painted newspaper.
Here are some of the photographs for you to enjoy 🙂
Breaking News!!!!
Primary 5 votes for Independence !
As part of our topic of Scottish Wars of Independence , Primary 5 decided to look at the issues of the present day independence debate. We had a homework challenge to find out the reasons why people were voting yes and no to independence. Followed by class and group discussions, then we had a debate with Yes and No campaigners presenting their reasons to vote for or against independence. Our final Ballot in our class polling station resulted in 15 votes for Yes and 10 votes for No. So Primary 5 have decided for Independence!!
