Our Primary 5 pupils have been thoroughly enjoying their recent series of gymnastics lessons. Pupils have had the opportunity to move around a variety of equipment and skill based stations, each designed to help them develop balance, coordination, strength and confidence. From practising rolls and jumps to navigating beams and working on controlled movement, the class has shown fantastic focus and determination.
The children have particularly enjoyed:
- Trying out new pieces of equipment
- Challenging themselves at different activity stations
- Working together and encouraging their classmates
- Building new skills week by week
It has been wonderful to see the excitement and pride on their faces as they master new techniques and take on fresh challenges.
A huge well done to all the pupils who received one of Mr McCambley’s Golden Postcards! These special postcards are awarded to celebrate pupils who go above and beyond, whether through excellent effort, kindness, brilliant behaviour or outstanding achievements in their learning.
Keep up the fantastic work, we can’t wait to see who earns the next Golden Postcards!
Our topic in Primary 2 is Houses and Homes this term. We have been learning about the different types of houses and went on a village walk to try and spot some of the houses around our village.
We visited Waring House and met Mr Harnett. He taught us about the history of Waring House and we counted all the windows.
We were also delighted to welcome Poppy's Daddy, Mr Sergeant to our class today. He taught us about his job as an architect and gave us the challenge of designing our dream house!
A huge thank you to both Mr Harnett and Mr Sergeant for helping us with our Houses and Homes topic.
Our school recently celebrated Ditch the Dark Day, a special event that reminds everyone how important it is to stay safe and visible during the darker mornings and evenings of winter.
Thank you to all pupils for coming to school dressed in bright and colourful clothing, shining from head to toe, and taking time to accessorise their bikes and scooters.
Huge congratulations to all of the winners, including P7 Mrs Anderson’s class who were chosen as ‘Brightest Class.’
We were delighted to welcome Dave Wiggins from the Walk, Wheel, Cycle Trust, who came in to lead a lively and informative assembly all about keeping safe on our journeys to and from school.
During the assembly, Dave spoke to the children about how wearing bright colours and reflective clothing can make a big difference when walking, cycling, or scooting in low‑light conditions. His message was clear and memorable:
“Be Bright, Be Seen!”—a simple rule that helps keep everyone safe on the roads.
He also worked with both Primary 5 classes conducting an experiment to see what clothing is best to wear in the dark.
A huge thank‑you to Dave Wiggins for inspiring our pupils and helping us all think carefully about road safety. Let’s remember the message all year round:
Be Bright. Be Seen. Stay Safe!
