Last day in P5 with Miss Fox

We had a lovely last day in P5 with Miss Fox! We enjoyed drawing self-portraits and filling our sunglasses with our hopes and wishes for the summer. We also read the letters we wrote to our future selves when we first met Miss Fox back in P4 and shared them with our friends – there were lots of laughs as we looked back on our memories together. In the afternoon, we enjoyed some time outdoors before heading home. It was a wonderful way to spend our final day together in class this session.

 

 

 

Moving Up Afternoon – Primary 1

Primary 1 enjoyed a fun afternoon meeting their new teacher, Miss Fox, as part of our transition activities. The children took part in a fun “Get to Know Me” activity.

The children shared their ideas about the toys and resources they would like to have in Primary 2 and helped design what they would like their new classroom door display to look like. They also had the opportunity to explore their new classroom and take part in a fine motor skills tuff tray challenge.

It was a lovely afternoon, and the children are already looking forward to their exciting move to Primary 2!

 

 

No Scotland No Party in P5

Great excitement in P5 this morning – it was all about Scotlands victory at the weekend! We made some predictions last week, so we enjoyed having a look at them and seeing who really knows their stuff! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️

We created some art work based on the highland cow and Scotlands participation in this year’s World Cup! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

St. Mary’s Presents “Matilda the Musical”

Matilda🎭

Our P5–P7 pupils are entering the final stages of preparation for their upcoming show next week. Over the coming days, the children will be taking part in final rehearsals, dress rehearsals and technical rehearsals as they bring together all aspects of their performance.

Through the Expressive Arts curriculum, pupils have been developing a wide range of skills including confidence, creativity, communication, teamwork and performance techniques. The rehearsal process has allowed them to explore characterisation, movement, music and drama while working collaboratively towards a shared goal.

The excitement is certainly building as the children prepare to showcase all of their hard work and dedication. We are incredibly proud of their commitment and enthusiasm and cannot wait for them to perform for family and friends.

Tickets are available from the school office for £3 each. Performances will take place on Tuesday afternoon (16th June) and Wednesday evening (17th June). We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating the pupils’ achievements on stage! 🌟🎶🎬

Health Week Day 1 with Primary 5

First up on this Tuesday morning – we started at The Smoothie Bike. We had the opportunity to make a fruit kebab or a smoothie. We used our collaboration skills to choose fruit, safely prepare it for the blender and make our morning smoothie. 🍑🍌🍊🍓🍎

 

Next up we had our Circus School Class – we played games, learned new tricks and had fun 🤩 🤡🎪

 

After a quick snack break we headed outside to the Trim Trail for smores, after a quick safety brief we toasted our marshmallows around the fire. 🔥

 

In the afternoon we took part in a Strongman/woman led by Mrs. Mains

Let’s see what tomorrow brings!! 🔥

Another busy week in Rannoch class.

We had fun outdoors with Ms. Nelson we made Easter cards.

In class, during Art this week we made some more Easter crafts – EGGS that turned into Bunnies.

On Friday, we visited Ness class for assembly which we will do every week from now on.

PRIMARY 5 ARE OFF TO CAMP

Today was an exciting day for our Primary 5s as we headed off on our very first camp trip! The buzz on the bus said it all — everyone was full of excitement and ready for adventure.

 

When we arrived, our first challenge was making our beds. There were a few tricky duvet covers to tackle, but with teamwork and determination, everyone rose to the occasion! After working up an appetite, we enjoyed lunch together before heading off for our afternoon activities.

In the afternoon, we took part in crate climbing and low ropes. Both activities encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones and, most importantly, work together as a team. There was lots of cheering, encouragement and celebrating each other’s successes — fantastic teamwork all round!

After a well-earned dinner, we wrapped up the evening around the campfire. We sang songs, played games and toasted marshmallows while sharing plenty of laughs.

It was the perfect end to a brilliant first day, and everyone is looking forward to what tomorrow brings!
