We had lots of fun this afternoon trying out different ‘Mindfulness’ activities with our Parents/Carers. We did some Yoga and Massage before making our very own ‘Calm Jars’ and ‘Worry Dolls’. Thank you to all who attended.

P6/7 – PE Gymnastics Goals
Primary 6/7 children set themselves targets for gymnastics today. Some of the children set their targets and have given themselves a few weeks to achieve and others have given themselves shorter term targets. Each week they work around the different stations developing their skills.

P1 Science – Making their own Musical Instruments
Primary 1 have been investigating sound in Science. In their groups they all made different musical instruments using recycled objects and materials. They then investigated the different sounds these instruments could make. After that, the children created a piece of music with these instruments. We also predicted and investigated who’s instruments were the loudest and quietest.

Primary 1 children have been predicting and investigating the amplitude and pitch of sound through various musical instruments and household objects.
P4/5 + P5/6 Health and Wellbeing – Food Miles
P4/5 and P5/6 had fun making smoothies! They used the packaging to find out where the fruits were from and then calculated the ‘food miles’ they had travelled. They then investigated which fruits had travelled furthest and the effects on the economy and environment. The children were also encouraged to try a new fruit or a fruit they hadn’t previously liked. Well done to those who were brave!
