Athletics

Primary 5 are now joining the P6 and P7 athletes. A good start as you can see from the photos!

Bridges Technology

A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped make Bridges to School a wonderful experience. Children from Kirklandneuk worked with children from St. James's Primary. One task involved working in the classroom, to work on the problem solving challenge of building standing bridge that could take the weight of a toy car from only paper, card and sellotape. Children were also able to build a much larger bridge, spanning across the length of the gym hall, with the help of civil engineers.

Homecoming

10 lucky P5's will be attending the Youth Highland Games with Miss McKee on Friday 27th November. 5 girls and 5 boys will spend the morning representing Kirklandneuk in a variety of games. If we are lucky enough to get a place in the final, the children will be attending the finals on Monday 30th November. A lovely way to celebrate St. Andrew's Day!

This week P5 have also been experiencing some other fun Scottish activities such as poetry, designing tartan on the computer for each group and Scottish food tasting! A nice run up to the holiday.

Science

As part of our living things science topic we have been growing some runner beans and flowering plants. We have seen some good growth so far despite the dark and dull weather!

Commonwealth Games topic

P5 have been enjoying the start of their new environmental studies topic on the Commonwealth and the Games. We are hopeful that after we spend some time learning about the topic we will be able to hold our own mini Commonwealth Games with some pupils in the school.
