Well done to all the P6 children that took part in this year’s Cluster Cross Country Event.  Everyone finished the course and ran with 100% effort.  A special well done to Kerys for coming 2nd in the girls race and Emma who finished 3rd in the girls race.   Fabulous!

The builders arrived in Uphall this week to start work on replacing part of the school roof.  As part of the Technology curriculum, P6/7 has been given the challenge of designing and building a 3D model of a new pitched school roof.  The children will be working in groups of 3 and will be learning to use tools like saws and hammers to help with their models.

This week P6/7 have been refreshing their memory with times tables after the summer break.  In shared reading we have started to read a new book called ‘Oranges in No Man’s Land’ and have started a new class novel called ‘Running Out of Time’.  During maths we have worked on our mental strategies for adding up to triple digit numbers. and have been learning the 1089 times table!  We worked in groups of four and had to make a radio programme which included a jingle, an interview and an advert.  We finished off our week with an exciting game of rounders which everyone enjoyed.

Well done to Keri who came first in the long jump today at the P7 cluster sports day.  She jumped an amazing 2.95 metres!
