Winter was most definitely upon us last week.

Can we take this opportunity to remind parents and to remind children to dress appropriately for the wet and cold conditions over the next few months.

Remember to wear coats and jumpers. Also please try to wear appropriate footwear if possible, along with scarves gloves, and hats as appropriate.

And please remember to wear them at playtime and take them home afterwards as, while we try to find all lost property, sometimes a piece can go unspotted for a few days and end up a bit chilly….

P7 have been focusing on STEM topics this term and have had a fantastic trip to Edinburgh College to consolidate our learning about Forces and different types of Engineering and an opportunity for them to ask lots of STEM questions to the experts!

The whole class were really engaged in all the activities and did a fabulous job of representing our school!

Primary 6 went to the National Museum of Scotland for their space topic. They were the first school in Scotland to take part in the Space- Looking Out and Looking Back Workshop. They made a visual representation of the planets and how far away from the sun they were. They then handled meteorites and had to decide whether they were real or if they were rocks and learnt about how heat can return certain metals back to its  original shape.

In PE this term, P2 have been practising and enhancing their gymnastic skills.  We have been learning a variety of holds and positions, as well as performing balances independently and with a partner, to create a short routine.

Primary 4 enjoyed inviting their parents and family members into their classroom to show the Home Learning Activities they will be able to take home every week. It was a very successful afternoon. Thank you to all the parents and family members who could come.

P5 recently launched their Home Learning box (previously Read, Write, Count box).  TO challenge themselves the pupils designed new games and ways of using the resources and previous activities. They were excited to demonstrate these new games so invited in their parent and carers. These resources are to help the pupils have fun when learning at home and also to give you ideas of what you can do to help make their learning fun at home.

Thank you all who came along, we hope you enjoyed learning from us.

All pupils are now welcome to take home resources from the Home Learning Box, they can keep these as long as they need. On return they can then swap for another challenge.
