Here is the PowerPoint for the first part of the Building Resilience programme. I hope you are able to open this and hear me talking you through the slides. I believe it is best listened to on a computer rather than an iPad or phone.
Enjoy!

“I had the time of my life!” Amelie
A huge well done to all pupils in Primary 6 for their incredible performance of, ‘Dragon of the Western Sea,’ with Scottish Opera. Here are a few reviews from the children and some photos of the amazing show!
“I think it was one of the best things in P6 so far. I was sad for it to be over!” Calum
“I loved how the Scottish Opera made the show really funky with the dance moves.” Hannah
“I enjoyed it so much because everyone was nice and positive. I also felt professional. After I got my outfit on, I felt like someone out of a Bollywood movie, dancing and smiling.” Ruby
“I liked it because everyone had a smile and everyone was having fun.” Zaki
“I liked getting the outfit on and singing to the audience.” Anthony
The P6 Egyptian Assembly EXTRAVAGANZA!
Performing on Thursday 21st September
The papyrus is rustling and the pyramids are getting built, preparation for the Primary 6 assembly has officially begun!
Pupils have been super busy learning about all different aspects of Ancient Egyptian life, including Egyptian clothing. We would like each pupil to apply what they have learned and be dressed in an Ancient Egyptian style outfit for the assembly itself. Bed sheets and pillow cases will come in handy, as every pupil has already made beautiful jewellery to accessorize with!
Please bring your Egyptian outfit into school on Tuesday 18th September, for our dress rehearsal.
We can’t wait to see you all looking fabulous!

Delighted to report on our finalists for the Burns’ Verse Speaking who did an amazing recital each. Rory Payne represented our class in the final and his delivery was very epressive. Each child in the class did an excellent job in learning their chosen poem and they were proud of their personal achievement.
It is our P4M assembly on Friday at 9:10 to which you are all warmly invited.
It’s been a while since our last post, but we’ve not been lazing around in that time!
The October week was much needed after Benmore, and washing machines were put to the test getting rid of a week’s worth of mud and grime. And that was just the teachers… Since then the children have been putting the finishing touches to their important Benmore booklets which will serve as evidence towards the Adventure section of the JASS work.
We enjoyed a second world war “rationing” day. The children got to Make Do and Mend (sewing buttons and patches onto old clothes) before showing off their skills in a fashion show, and tried regrowing vegetables such as leeks and spring onions as a way to make food go further. The final activity was making carrot cookies with Mrs Thomson, proving that everything can go into a cake as long as you add enough sugar to it.
The NSPCC came to visit us, speaking about staying safe and reminding us of the Childline phone number, 0800 1111.
We then got down to work on our Remembrance Assembly. Our visit to the poppy factory was a fantastic way to start this work, talking to the ex-servicemen and listenng to the wonderfully presented stories from the trenches. Following that we visited the cemetery with Mr Cameron who helped us understand the purpose and significance of the graves and the people who were buried there. 
Our assembly on Friday 11th was very well attended, thank you everybody, and covered so many aspects of our topic work in presentations packed with examples of the children’s hard work.
Coming up in the next few weeks will be learning debating skills with pupils from Queensferry High School, taking part in Bible Alive with our SU teachers and then, unbelievably, it will be time for ceilidhs and decorations!
Primary 1 have been busy preparing for their first school assembly.They are very excited to share their learning with the special adults in their lives! We hope you will be able to make it, don’t forget your cameras!After you drop off your children, please come into school through the main entrance doors and find a seat in the hall. (I’ve heard some people are queuing already!)
The year has flown by and we are already in our final term of primary four. Last term was very busy and successful and we would like to thank all parents for their support with our Viking museum. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing their learning with you.
This term our focus will be on Birds. We will be learning about different types of birds and hopefully going in to the local community to go bird watching.We would be grateful if you could ensure your child has appropriate outdoor clothing for this. As part of the topic the children will design and make a bird box and give a short presentation to the class.Homework task
Please note our class assemblies this term will be on the following dates:
P4McC 22/4/16
