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! 🌟🎶🎬

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!! 🔥

Primary 5 have had a busy and exciting start to the week!

On Monday and Tuesday, we began our STEM space project, focusing on improving our spatial reasoning skills. We took part in two fun, active and hands-on maths lessons where we explored axis, lines of symmetry and reflections.

In Religion, we learned about the Feast of St Brigid, which takes place on the 1st of February and links to Our Lady & St Brigid’s, our parish church. We then had a go at making St Brigid’s crosses, which proved trickier than we expected but very rewarding.

We also enjoyed movement breaks and outdoor learning with Ms Nelson.

In science, we investigated sinking and floating, using our reciprocal reading skill of predicting to think about what might happen to different objects before testing them out. We then recorded our answers on our worksheet.
