P5 really enjoyed this workshop today. 

iSmart is an interactive presentation that took P5 on a journey through the digital world and aims to help them to make smart and safe choices online.

The presentation encouraged pupils to use and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to navigate tricky situations that they may come across online. It also helped them develop language so they can describe how they operate in the online world. Pupils were encouraged to reflect on how digital platforms affect the rest of the world and to consider how they can make this impact a positive one in their lives.

We were delighted to welcome Kirk and Simon from The One Show today to interview our pupils who took part in the Kids Court a few weeks ago. They interviewed the children about taking part and the impact they hoped it would have on those drivers that chose to attend our Kids Court.  They could not believe the views from our wee school! We look forward to seeing The One Show on BBC1 next week. Well done boys and girls ⭐️

Year 5/6 have had a lot of fun over the past few weeks making Viking shields and swords. Once created, pupils were able to write instructions on how they make their pieces in Literacy, before having a mock up ‘Viking raid’. I’m sure you’ll agree that we have some angry looking Vikings in our class!!

Our Eco Committee walked across to Artigarvan Hall to meet Iris and her helpers from New Horizons. Iris showed the children how to arrange and plant the plants and the children got busy planting. They had lots of fun and enjoyed a lovely treat afterwards in the Hall.
