Some of P7/6 enjoyed a trip to see Matilda in Edinburgh this week. It was a fantastic production! We are all looking forward to seeing the upper school put on the show at the end of the year!
In outdoor learning we have been planting trees and enjoying a blindfolded scavenger hunt!
In numeracy we are working on our decimals and in IDL we have begun a detailed look at WWII including which planes were used in the Battle of Britain and how the war began. We will be going on a school trip to East Fortune in May so we are looking forward to learning about this in class first!
In writing we have written several persuasive pieces – getting very good at this. We are also working on various spelling patterns and strategies, handwriting and guided reading skills. Well done P7/6!

P7/6 and P5 put on a superb performance for parents this week to showcase their learning from their workshop with Resilient Rhythms.
For  the past four weeks, both classes have taken part in the music lessons with Eamonn, who put them through their paces to experience how music can inspire and uplift. Classes demonstrated their new skills using percussion instruments to perform their concert.
One pupil said “I have love this workshop and have learned so much about beat and resilience”; another said “it was super fun and Iwant a drum kit for Christmas!”
Well done to all our pupils and huge thanks to Eamonn who was an inspirational coach! St Mary’s loved our time drumming with Resilient Rhythms,
