P4G combined Maths with their All About Me topic today as they worked in pairs to create Venn diagrams showing things they like and dislike. The children thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and interaction involved, sharing their interests and discovering what they had in common with their classmates.
This engaging activity helped develop both mathematical thinking and communication skills, while encouraging teamwork and friendship. The lesson was a great success, although tidying up the many paper cuttings afterwards proved to be a slightly bigger challenge!
Well done, P4G, for your enthusiastic participation and excellent discussions throughout the lesson.
Our girls' hockey team took part in their first friendly Blitz today and what a fantastic day it was! The girls arrived full of excitement and enthusiasm. Throughout the day, the team played an impressive six matches, giving every player the opportunity to develop their skills and gain valuable experience. The girls demonstrated excellent teamwork in every game. Their passing was accurate; their defending was strong and there were some fantastic goals scored and saved along the way. Well done to all of our girls' hockey players on a successful first tournament. We are very proud of you and look forward to seeing what you achieve next!
Mr McCambley’s Postcards remain one of the most highly sought after Friday awards, recognising pupils who consistently demonstrate excellence, effort and our school values.
This week’s celebration was especially memorable as we were delighted to welcome Mr Pollock, Chairperson of the Board of Governors, as our special assembly speaker. Mr Pollock was delighted to accept the invitation to join us and share in recognising the achievements of our pupils.
Adding to the excitement of the occasion, Mr Pollock received an unexpected surprise when he discovered that his own grandson was among this week’s postcard recipients. It was a proud and memorable moment for both family and school alike.
Congratulations to all of this week’s award winners. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and the positive example you set for others. Keep up the fantastic work!
As part of our Eco Heroes topic, the class have been planting grass seeds. This is to show the importance of plants in our world.
Mr Gault’s Primary Four class had an exciting surprise today when Mrs Abraham, our school cook, popped into the classroom to ask them to taste-test her brand-new chicken curry recipe.
Our young food critics took their job very seriously and were full of enthusiastic reviews. Words like “creamy”, “delicious” and “yummy” were heard all around the room, and plenty of pupils enjoyed it so much that they came back for seconds... and even thirds!
With reviews like that, we’re expecting a big crowd on the next curry day! Well done, Mrs Abraham — P4G give your new recipe a big thumbs up!
Our P2 children have had a great start to the new school year. We have enjoyed learning about numbers and shapes and had fun during structured play and PE sessions. Our topic is Autumn and we have spent this week studying hedgehogs. We made our own clay hedgehogs, pinching and moulding the clay to create the features. Then we added eyes, a snout and lots of spines. We love our hedgehogs!
