On Tuesday P1M and our P7 Buddies had a great time making bird feeders and then taking them into the woods near the school to hang them up for the birds to eat.

What a fantastic time we had celebrating WORLD BOOK DAYon Thursday.    Here we are in our costumes and pyjamas .

This young chap celebrated his birthday too !

We took part in the Where’s Wally Search around the school.   We had to find pictures of Wally. They were all well hidden and we were excited when we found them.

We also had a great time reading with our P7 Buddies and enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate !

On Friday we were so excited when our parents came to school for the Sharing Our Learning morning,   We showed them some of the activities that we usually do during Maths time.  We followed our timetable  and completed them very well.  We were absolute superstars and made Mrs Moffat very proud.  Thank you to everyone who came along.

What a fabulous week !

Craft and construction club started last week and we are enjoying the freedom to be creative. We started with a Lent theme last week and moved onto Spring this week. We enjoy playing with the train track, Lego and blocks and we have enjoyed colouring and creating craft pictures. This week we made some Spring trees with blossoms. They will be beautiful when completed.

Primary 6 & 7 hosted a super Burns Supper in the dining hall today for parents and carers. After a welcome from the House Captains we kicked off with a song from P6 and poems from P7.

Next we enjoyed some live music and some pipes and drums before we addressed the haggis. After a feast of haggis, neeps and tatties followed by Irn Bru and shortbread, we heard poems from P6 and finished with the P7 song.

On display were our Robbie Burns information reports and portraits, as well as our tartan kilts.

It was a great turnout – thank you to all parents and careers who came along. Special thanks to Mrs Blair for playing the piano and to kitchen staff for making the afternoon possible by preparing such a lovely feast.

Children’s Mentql Health Week was 5th to 11 February.

P1 M learned  how music can make us feel calm. excited , happy and sad.   We listened to some exciting music and showed off our dance moves then we listened to some very relaxing music and had some lovely chill time.

We practised listening to the sound of our breath to help  us relax and feel nice and calm.

This week we learned the story of Noah and the Ark and the song The Animals Went In Two by Two,

We have been very busy learning  a Scots poem – My Wee Rid Motor and a song -Heid , Shooders, Knaps and Taes this week .   We performed them at our Scots Poetry recitals.    We were all amazing and everyone won a special certificate for taking part.

      Have a great holiday everyone.

We are looking forward to our half term break after having another busy week of learning.

This week we have been using our concrete materials and blending our maths and engineering skills to revise our knowledge on place value by building the best castle using our dean’s materials. We then counted our materials to reach the total amount used.

We have finished our WW1 topic this week by completing our own projects on a specific area of WW1 (The Treaty of Versailles, Kaiser Wilhelm II, The Battle of Marne and The Battle of the Somme). We then created a lesson to teach the rest of the class about our topic and planned a short activity to assess the rest of the class of what we had taught them. Our activities included 2 truths and a lie, a Kahoot, an interactive board game and a quiz. We were surprised how much we enjoyed hosting a lesson.

We had the pleasure of working with Primary 2 this week where we learned all about Chinese New Year which takes place on Saturday 10^th February. As this year is the year of the dragons we worked together to create our own colourful dragons. We had a great time doing this. Don’t you think they are amazing? We do! We can wait to come back and work with Primary 2 again, thanks for having us Primary 2!

We have had a busy week learning and revising out burns poems in preparation for our burns competition. Well done to the Winner.

Have a great holidays Primary 7. I look forward to seeing everyone when we return. Be safe.

Well done to Aine in P6 who won the Scots Poetry Competition with her recital of The Puddock by John M.
