The pupils in the Primary 1 to Primary 3 classes were visited by a real author this week. Emma O’Connor, author of children’s picture book Under Grandma’s Table, did a reading and story writing workshop with each class. The children enjoyed listening to the story and came up with fantastic ideas from their imaginations to create a class story together.

We have been learning all about Scotland over the past few weeks. Today to celebrate Rabbie Burns birthday, we completed our individual clan tartans and designed Burns Supper menus. We enjoyed Scottish Country Dancing with Mrs Ewen and then settled down for the main event, our supper. All the children tried some oatcakes, beeps, tatties and vegetarian haggis followed by some delicious Tunnocks treats for pudding. We washed it all down with a wee dram of IrnBru.Every child was a great sport and gave this new food a try with lots asking for second!

P2/3 had a fabulous afternoon celebrating our wonderful book bags. We read all the books from over the course of the day and spent the afternoon completing fun challenges.
P2 enjoyed a brilliant bug hunt in the playground and used their magnifying glasses and rulers to sort and classify the insects they found. They also created Errol puppets to take home.
P3 pupils enjoyed designing their ideal homes and loved getting to grips with the Top Trump games in their bags.
What a treat for us all!
