P7s have been working hard over the last couple of weeks to finish their Christmas stockings - don’t they look fantastic!!
P7s enjoyed making Melting Snowmen Biscuits and drinking hot chocolate as a little pre-Christmas treat this week!
Lots of children wore Christmas jumpers on Friday to raise money for Cancer Fund for Children. Everyone was looking very festive!
Congratulations to our 3 star readers on reaching their Accelerated Reading targets for Term 1. Impressive work and well-deserved prizes received.👏👏👏.
Well done to Sophie on winning a prize from Ms Harrison, our Numeracy co- ordinator, for being the top scorer in Mathletics in P7MM.🎖🎖🎖.
The Healthy Kidz Star of the Week Award went to Aron this week for demonstrating great skill and teamwork during our hockey sessions. 🏑🏑🏑
Our topic this half term has been Happy Humans. We’ve spent this week learning about the heart and how it pumps blood all around our bodies. Today, we tested how four different exercises affected our heart rate. As well as having a really fun morning, we learned why our pulse increases when we exercise - because the heart is pumping blood around the body quicker than when we are resting! The hardest part for some of us was actually finding our pulse in the first place!!
Since we had no Healthy Kidz this week, P7MM got working on their hockey skills. The children learnt the basics of holding the hockey stick, dribbling and ball control. There was some great team work with pupils encouraging and cheering on their team mates, and even after just two sessions this week, we could really see an improvement in some of the skills. Well done all!
Every week a Healthy Kidz Star is chosen. This is someone who was an active, enthusiastic participant, who works well as a team member, who encourages others and shows respect to all those taking part.
Pictured below are some of our recent winners.🎉🎉🎉
P7MM completed a homework project on Climate Change while Cop 26 was taking place in Glasgow.
Following class work and discussion, they had to research many topics linked to climate change including the causes and effects, how we can help, COP26, government pledges and other related areas.
The results were fantastic! A lot of time, effort and thought were evident in the completed pieces.
Miss Thompson, our Eco Co-ordinator judged them and picked winners and runners-up.
Congratulations to all pupils and a very important and relevant global issue was researched and highlighted.
P7 enjoyed using paper mache today to beautiful Christmas music, as they made their tree decorations!
They will look amazing when painted.😊
Congratulations to our Celebration Certificate winners and our GTBG raffle winner. 🎉🎉
