This week we had a visit from a lady representing the SSPCA. She told us about cruelty towards animals and the different ways we can keep them safe. If you ever see an animal in danger, please call their help line.

I enjoyed looking at the different tools that are used.

We saw films highlighting cruelty towards animals and we had to decide how to save them.

We are well into our new space topic and had a very interesting discussion about why we didn’t fall off the Earth and if we were able to stand on a cloud!

Over the next few weeks we will be writing to NASA and learning about Neil Armstrong.

We went to Church to mark the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. We are collecting spare change in our wee box in the classroom.

Tomorrow, the P7’s are visiting St Kent’s for the Numeracy day. We must wear shirt and tie.

Just a reminder that the P7 camp meeting is next Monday, 17th, at 6pm.

Primary 2/3 were set a homework challenge … Could they make a rocket, spaceship or planet out of junk materials? The results were very impressive and the children loved showing them to the school at an assembly. Sean’s rocket was so huge it had to be brought into school in a van! All the pupils have been having fun going inside it and pretending to be astronauts. A big well done to all the pupils and thank you to family members for their support!

Primary 2 have  been busy learning about position and using words like forwards, backwards, left, right , above and below. We have been learning dance steps that needed us to think about left and right, using bee bots and directing a partner around mazes we created. Evie suggested we hid toys and challenged a partner to follow directions to find them which was great fun!

Some children are active outside school too and have some super activities they are dedicated to. What activities do you enjoy outwith school hours?
