Castle Fact file Winners
Well done to P4/5 who have been researching castle facts all term using books, laptops and even their own devices to use in their own fact files in class.
Katie was proud of her volcanic rock fact and Szymon was proud of his Mons Meg cannon fact!
Castle Trip was brilliant today!
The whole day was amazing the pupils in P4/5 were very well behaved and were very enthusiastic learning about cannons and weapons and exploring the Great Hall. Everyone loved hearing the one o’clock gun and seeing the ball drop on Nelson’s Column to show ships in the River Forth the time too.
We headed down the Royal Mile in and out of closes and courts towards Greyfriars Kirk and the famous statue of Bobby.
What’s a job worth?
Continuing with our money targets this week Mrs C’s maths set are considering various occupations and how skills pay the bills as Cody told us !
We discovered that the prime minister’s salary is less than a footballer ! Zara wants to be a vet when she grows up and Bart wants to design computer games . Kalvyn wants to be a footballer so he can budget his large salary to pay for all his family’s needs!
Money Week Post Office Visit
Our Maths set have been challenged to use coins this week…
AAL stall for Parents Evening
A big well done to all the pupils who helped with this stall last night. We were very proud of you being such effective contributors and highlighting our school blog to parents using a QR code might help more parents find our blog and be encouraged now to post comments on their own child’s learning!
P4/5 enjoyed a visit from NYCOS this week ….
Alex is going to be joining us every Tuesday to play musical rhythm and pitch games with the pupils until after Christmas. Hopefully these weekly activities will encourage some pupils to join the national youth choir itself . Details to follow and Alex has promised to bring in his tuba next week !
Learning in the sun this week …..
P4/5 welcomed Miss Butler to our class family this week and she told us the story of Greyfriars Bobby.
We chose to draw details of the main parts of the story in sequence using chalk to plan our ideas.
Biggest Coffee Morning Ever !
P4/5 loved visiting this fabulous event run so professionally by p6/7 this morning ! We completed some coffee cup coasters and a group challenge to design some bunting to cheer up the tables for parents and friends to sit at .
Here is what we thought of Friday’s efforts….
Katie- wanted to stay longer and wondered if the pupils could have juice next year ?
