Today we talked about all of the things we had learned this term and the things that we had enjoyed the most. This term our favourite things have been: the P4 Benchball Festival, tasting lots of different types of foods for our Food topic, using Sum Dog and maths games/challenges to help us learn different skills in maths, learning how to write different types of poems and creating art work in the style of different artists.  We also really enjoyed learning all about Easter with Mrs Hull.
We hope everybody has a lovely Easter holiday see you all soon.

This week P6 have been practising a play for our assembly about the Titanic.  We know our parts now!  We also finished our homework task to make our own model of the Titanic.
We had a rehearsal for our Easter assembly for next week. Today we have been designing Easter eggs to decorate the hall.  Miss McLennan thinks they are fantastic!
We have also been playing maths champion to try to beat the p7s in a challenge next week. Â

P5 Weekly News
P5 have been busy practising for the Easter Service which is on Tuesday 26th March at 10am. This is the first time our brass instrument pupils have performed for the school and for parents. They gave P5 a performance on Tuesday morning with Miss Foster and they were very good. We do hope you can come along to the Easter Service to hear them!
This week it was parents night and the children reported back that their parents were pleased with all their hard work. Well done P5 and keep this up!

P5 Red Nose Day Job Swap
Friday was a great day with lots of children doing Mrs Campbell’s job! It started with Mr Campbell and Miss Sweeney both from P1 who were in to teach maths. After break we had Miss Mackie from P7 who was doing the spelling tests and also Miss Gillies who was helping with the weekly reflections. We had P5 pupils who were out doing other jobs! Some were being the janitor, some were teaching in a variety of classes and one was being Mrs Nicolls for the morning. It was a fun way to raise so much money for charity.
