Today, P7L brought out their most dramatic faces and poses. Konflux Theatre came to visit our school and prepared a play (in 1 day!) together with our pupils. We had a great time rehearsing and practicing the many different scenes and lines. P6 and 7 came over, at the end of the day, to watch our performance. It was magnificent, we are very proud of you.

This month we have had lots of interesting people telling us about their jobs. Have a look at the pictures. We really enjoyed learning about being a nurse, farmer, optometrist and policeman.
The arrangements relate to dressing up and also a whole-school competition (including Nursery).
Let's use WBD to encourage our children with their reading and its importance!
Our new topic that we will be exploring in Primary 1 over the next few weeks is fairy tales. As part of our World Around Us lesson today, we enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ before accepting the challenge of building the three billy goats a new bridge to cross over the river, safely away from the troll. We studied photos of bridges, talking about the different shapes we could see and the different designs and materials used. We then investigated our own materials on offer and we worked in groups to make a plan of what our bridge might look like and what resources we would use. There was a lot of trial and error involved, and we discovered that folding paper made it stronger and soon realised the importance of using sticky tape correctly!!! Once our bridges were built, we tested them to see if they were strong enough to hold a toy goat. Thankfully, all of our bridges were successful!
As part of our new topic - Once Upon a Time, we read the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
We decided to build our own bridges and test if these were strong enough for the goats to cross.
The children loved thinking of different materials to use and working together as a group to create a bridge.
it was then very exciting as we tested these out over our ‘river’ to see if the goat got wet. I can confirm all of our bridges stayed standing! 🎉
