Class of 2019

This week we’ve had a lot of fun using the new kitchen to bake cakes and treats. Thank you to anyone who donated their own desserts! We then sold our creations after school to raise money for Scot4All. We hope you enjoyed them! 
 

All left over cakes will be out on Friday after school as…

Well done to the brilliant Year 6s who have worked so hard during SATs week, this week. Today marked the last test so we celebrated with rounders and football at the field (cut short by the very British weather!), lots of tasty treats and finally getting our leavers hoodies!

After several weeks of work, Year 6 have finally finished their multi-layer printing project, just in time to turn them into their Christmas cards.

The Year 6 children joined Mr and Mrs Weatherill for a service in Churnside House this afternoon. They sang numerous carols beautifully. At the end of the service the children spent some time talking to the residents.

Year 6 have been working hard all week, to produce items to sell at the Christmas Fair today. Each group was given an “investment” of £15 by Scot4all, with which to buy resources and every group made a profit from the sale of their various Christmas-themed products. We had to use a huge variety of…

This week, we have been adding the second layer of printing to our Christmas cards. It was tricky to work out what colour would be best to choose next!

This week, Year 6 have been learning how to make short- crust pastry, with the help of Mrs Anderson - one of our school governors. They used their new baking skill to make mince pies to sell at the Christmas Fair.
