Primary 7S have been busy working collaboratively to solve a couple of problems.  We used a guess, check and improve approach for making shapes that don’t contain squares, and to extend ourselves we counted how many squares we could make.  For our number problem we had to use the information that we had and work backwards.  We worked really well together and Mrs Kinnear was very impressed with our positive attitude to learning.

New post.

This week we have been learning how to keep ourselves fit and healthy. At group time we have been talking about healthy eating and other ways we can keep ourselves healthy at nursery and at home. We had lots of good ideas for healthy eating choices and we talked about some different ways we can travel to nursery to be active. Some of us have used bikes and scooters this week and lots of children have been walking.

The morning children were demonstrating their hand washing actions to make sure we always wash away dirt and germs properly.

We have enjoyed our healthy snacks this week. The fruit kebabs and fruity ice-cubes were a big hit on Tuesday!

On Wednesday we enjoyed taking part in our sports day. We were very active as we tried out the different activities and we still had energy left to run face in our group relay races. Well done everyone!

The Fantastics and The Cool Kids had a picnic to finish off the year. Here we are having a lovely time in the sun, playing games and enjoying some crisps and treats. Happy Holidays from all of the children!

Today P6/7 went to The Curling Academy at Stirling Sports Village.

We love doing curling in PE lessons at school but for most of us, this was our first time trying it on ice!

After a quick warm up, we were split into groups, grabbed a brush and had a go at sweeping.  Then we were taught how to slide the stones with both clockwise and anti-clockwise spins.

We ended our session with a few games of short curling.  It was a very enjoyable experience.
