It has been another busy week in P5! This week we have been learning about similies. We are now hoping we will be able to use them in our writing. We were also learning about bones and why they are important. We did a problem solving activity where we made our own skeletons. When they were finished we got them dancing to a little bit of Michael Jackson’s Thriller!
Primary 3
This week our two new eco reps have been chosen who will represent the class in primary 4. Well done Hannah and Aaron! We have also began our new topic, hot and cold lands. We have started researching the Arctic and are discovering lots of interesting facts!
Primary 6 Poets
P6 have been writing poems in the style of poet Charles Causley’s ‘As I went down Zig Zag’. Here are some examples of our favourite stanzas:
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking two,
I saw a man bouncing
Like a purple kangaroo.
As i went down Zig Zag
The clock striking eight,
I saw a bike which ateÂ
A sparkly chocolate cake.
By Zoe Evans
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking one
I saw a man dancing
When the party was done.
As I went down zig zag
The clock striking three
I saw an old lady drinking
Tea in the sea.Â
By Connor Ramsay
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking eight,
I saw a boy going
For a long skate.
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking nine,
I saw a girl singing
A nursery rhyme.
By Ellie Hamilton

Health Week With P5
It has been an unusual week this week because we have been busy doing a variety of activities for Health Week. On Friday all of the children enjoyed being in their houses and taking part in the potted sports. On Thursday they enjoyed making pizza monsters with Mrs Andison, doing gymnastics and football skills with the man from the SFA. It has been a very busy and fun week but they are looking forward to working hard next week!
Primary 2
The children have been using play scripts in drama. We used The Gingerbread Man and the children had fun in role as the characters.  In science we learned about friction using cars and a variety of ramps and in art we explored sculpture. We looked at the different materials that were used to make sculptures, what inspired the creations and got some ideas for our own creations.
This week is Health Week. Please remember to bring outdoor and indoor gym kit as well as a bottle of water and healthy snacks.
Primary 4
This week we started to learn about our new topic Australia. We found Australia on the world map and looked at where it was in distance from Scotland.  We then used an Atlas to help us complete a map of Australia. We searched the internet to find out some facts about both Australia and Scotland. We discovered that Australia had a much higher population than Scotland. We then used our maths skills to find the difference between the population of Australia and Scotland. There are around 18 million more people in Australia than in Scotland!
Craft for Enterprise After-school Club
After our successful sale at the end of last term, the club are pleased to announce they made £40.59 profit.
We have decided to use this money to buy new materials for our next sale. Following a long discussion we agreed to spend most of our money on ‘Fimo’ and we are currently busy making new crafts each Monday.
Thank you again to all those who visited our stall, we hope you liked our crafts.
Primary 5 Camp
Primary 5 had a fantastic time at Fordell Firs in Fife. They experienced lots of different activities and worked really well together to support each other. They were a credit to the school. I am sure they have told you about all the activities they did!
Fire Start visit P6
We had a visit from four firemen yesterday. They reminded us all about the top fire hazards in the home and what to do in the event of a fire. They told us mnemonic to help us remember the things we need to say when we call 999. I wonder if anyone knows what the letters stand for?
LIONEL
The firemen had an emergency call while they were in our class and had to rush away! We could see from the playground how quickly they needed to get ready and in the engine.
