Fruit Troops
P1-4 has been working on an enterprise topic this week. They created a company “Fruit Troops” which provided tubs of fruit for sale every playtime this week. They prepared the fruit tubs and took orders before selling them to staff and pupils at playtimes. The money raised will go in the “Lion King” pot.Well done P1-4.
Cycling Workshops
P4-7 have been braving the cold this week to participate in Cycling Workshops. They have been learning basic skills and also skills needed to be a road user.P4/5 worked in the school playground and P6/7 worked in the streets of Crawford.Well done everyone and thank you to Vicky and Tilly for their patience.
Military Museum
On Monday 17th February P4-7 pupils travelled to Wilkieston to visit the Military Museum as part of their topic on World War Two.
The pupils and staff had a great day there. After an initial look around the museum the pupils did an alphabet quiz. This involved them looking around the museum for clues. After lunch the pupils were able to try on real gas masks and handle weapons. This was great fun for the pupils.
This was a fabulous outing and the pupils got lots of information to help them with their topic.
