Happy Campers Day 1

April 27, 2026 wlmartin.elliott1@glow Leave a comment

Good evening from a sunny and busy Broomlee Outdoor Centre. What a busy start to our P7 Camp. After an uneventful bus journey, we were welcomed by Dylan, our Supervising Tutor. Fire regulation talks then room organising (special mention to Michael and JJ who made their beds very quickly) was followed by our 1st Group Activity. Group 1 were raft building and group 2 were high in the trees doing the Cat Walk. Lots of challenges and working together but we were resilient and helped each other succeed. The Raft Group 1 built was christened ‘The SS Mary’. She didn’t sink- this time!

Lunch and dinner was a highlight for many of the pupils- no-one went hungry.

After dinner we competed in Broomlee Highland Games- where the girls won courtesy of their superior technique during the Tug Of War!

Having enjoyed supper of hot chocolate and biscuits, we are all having an extended play before bed and lights out. Lots of tired eyes! Enjoy the pictures below. Can you spot the Cats and the Sailors?

Ness- Easter Fun

March 27, 2026 wlmartin.elliott1@glow Leave a comment

What an incredible week in Ness Class!

St Mary’s Got Talent: Well, the pupils in Ness certainly have talent as Laura impressed the judges with her dance routine. She was very happy with her performance!

Dominic and Hunter had the crowd in stiches with their stand-up routine. Lot’s of jokes and hilarity abound!

Then today, we all took turns to roll our decorated eggs down the hill at school. We learned that this signified the stone rolling away for the Tomb on Easter Sunday.

We wish everyone a Happy and Peaceful Easter Holiday.

What a joy to see the sun shining and feel the temperatures rise. Ness class enjoyed linking their Food Technology learning to planning and then having a picnic in the sun.

Camping in the Snow

What a surprise! Arrived at camp today to snow on the ground. Lots of excited campers! After making our beds (the boys were amazing) and then eating a brilliant lunch, we were straight into activity. Crate Climbing and Low Ropes gave everyone the opportunity to challenge themselves and support others. Below are a selection of pics taken my myself (Mr E).

Look out for a further update later!

Pots of Monsters in Ness Class

Ness Class have been exploring Scottish songs, poems, literature and myths.

Inspired by the story of Nessie, Ness class decided they wanted to make jelly monsters during Food Tech this week. We set our own jelly, gave our monsters chocolate hair and scary laces.

Lots of munching followed. Clearing up and washing is something we are all working hard on.

Monster Burgers Invade Ness Class

January 20, 2026 wlmartin.elliott1@glow Leave a comment

What a fantastic time we had during our Food Technology session. The pupils decided they wanted to make ‘Monster Burgers’ with scary faces and tasty teeth. Well done to all the pupils who flipped their own burgers, used different food textures and sniffed and tasted everything, they cooked. A very responsible class who cleaned and tidied up after themselves.

Well done Ness Monsters 🙂

Happy New Year in Ness Class

January 8, 2026 wlmartin.elliott1@glow Leave a comment

The New Year got off to a brilliant start this week in Ness. Getting back into our routines helped focus our minds back to enjoying time with our learning friends.

In reading, we have been exploring non fiction texts. In writing, we have been focusing on New Year Resolutions and presentation. Our Number learning is multiplying by 2 and 3 this week. We are also linking this to repeated addition allowing us to go beyond 2×12 and 3×12.

The highlight of our week was baking today. Our class chose Shortbread biscuits and we look forward to tasting them tomorrow.

Enjoy the pictures below.

We brought the curtain down on a very busy but successful first term. We have made lots of friends and learned lots of amazing facts and skills over the past 8 weeks. The highlight of this week was our funny but edible squishy ghosts we made during Food Technology.

Enjoy the pics below, and we hope everyone has a lovely week off.

A wonderful day for experiencing the great outdoors. Ness had a great time exploring our locality. Having noticed the amount of litter around our school, we decided to help our environment by clearing it up. We have been learning how important it is to look after our environment.

Enjoy our pictures below.
