Remembrance Day Assembly
On Friday at assembly we shared the very important message of remembering and the important symbol of the poppy. P3/4 helped to share this message with all their work they have been doing in class, from the beautiful poppy wreath, powerpoints of key facts and a touching poem they learned. Thank you for helping us remember!
Primary 3/4 Flight Play
Primary 3/4 have been investigating flight and their knowledge of things that fly. Last week P3/4 pupils spent time playing and exploring with a variety of construction materials and how they could use these materials to make something that flies.
The pupils chose the construction material to use and made their own decisions about the type of flight item they would build. We had a wide variety of flying objects, from an aeroplane to pterodactyl! The children had great, imaginative designs and persevered even when they found things difficult.
P3/4 Fun With Balloons
P3/4 have been investigating flight as part of their learning this term. This week P3/4 had fun experimenting and investigating balloons. The children discussed the types of gas that can be used to inflate balloons and the weight of helium compared to the air around us – the gas takes up space inside the balloon, forcing it to expand. We popped some balloons and untied the ends to let them fly around the room to illustrate air pressure inside a balloon and it escaping.
One pupil then drew a funny face on the surface of a balloon, but forgot to give it some ears. So 2 helpers pressed two plastic cups firmly onto either side of the balloon where the ears should be. We then blew the balloon up again while the helpers held the cups in place. When the balloon was big enough our helpers let go of the cups, which stuck to the balloon by themselves, showing the displacement of the air and the pressure surrounding.
We then continued the balloon fun by investigating static electricity. We tried sticking the balloon to the wall, picking up small pieces of paper and moving our hair.
P6 Tennis Festival
A group of our P6 children took part in ICHS cluster Tennis Festival this week. Walking to Ladywell Tennis Courts proved to be a good warm up before their matches. The pupils then took part in doubles matches against pairs from our cluster primary schools. All children had fun taking part and Toronto were proud to make it to the semi finals! We may have a new Andy Murray or Serena Williams on our hands.
Outdoor area – Work in Progress
During the last term, three Primary 5/6 pupils recognised an area of their playground that they would like to develop. The girls organised an activity to raise funds in order to buy some supplies to make a start to this area.
Over the last few days of term the girls were delighted to see that the work was well underway to repair the trellis area that they identified. These P5/6 pupils have now been organising the next steps for this area when we return after the holidays. They plan to paint the trellis and have already begun collecting ornaments to decorate with.
Sports Committee Assembly
This morning we had an assembly to celebrate all of the great sporting achievements of 2018/19. This year we have had lots of different clubs such as football, futsal, rugby, dancing cycling and invasion games. This year we have had a lot of different clubs but next year we want more. We would to thank all of our partners who have played a big part in helping us achieve our sporting excellence this year.

Last day of Low Port Camp
Primary 5 were up bright and early on our last morning of camp. After packing up our bags, we headed off for a tour to Linlithgow Palace………and a sneaky stop off at the park!
We have had a blast over the last few days, but also looking forward to coming home to see our families and sleep in our own beds!
See you all soon!
A Fun Filled Day at Low Port
Today we have been very busy outdoors!
Once kitted out in our waterproofs and wellies we all took part in canoeing and a forest adventure. We loved crawling through tunnels, walking up the stream and keeping our canoe afloat!
After dinner we got glammed up for our disco and were cutting some shapes on the dance floor.
We are all really tired today after lots of activities and looking forward to bed!
An early morning visit to Linlithgow Palace is planned for tomorrow, before heading home after lunch.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
Supper time at Low Port
After watching half of Boss Baby whilst munching on our sweets we enjoyed some delicious hot chocolate and toast before heading off to chill out with our friends in our rooms! Thankfully we had some helpers on cue to clean up and do the dishes!
