Purple Day

On Friday 5th June many children dressed in purple to support Purple Day for Erskine Hospital.

A busy day!

On Wednesday 3rd June a representative from Scottish Power came to school to teach the children about electricity safety. They learnt about the dangers of fishing or flying kites near overheard wires, keeping out of substations and away from pylons, not to touch sockets or switches with wet hands and lots of other ways to keep safe. At the end there was a quiz which Olivia won. Well done! More information can be found at www.powerwise.org.uk






In the afternoon the school nurse came to tell the children how to take care in the sun. They were advised to
- always wear sun cream and reapply it regularly
- wear a sun hat and sun glasses
- drink plenty of water
- cover their shoulders with a tee shirt when the sun is strong
- stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm
- wear sandals or flip flops on the hot sand or grass
- use an umbrella when the sun is very strong
The class are now making a display about staying safe in the sun.

Kirky's Got Talent!

Several children auditioned to represent Primary 4/5 in Kirky's got Talent. By an overwhelming majority, Darren and Declan were chosen as our class's entry. Although they did not win, they did extremely well and gained a Highly Commended Certificate. Well done Darren and Declan!

Electricity

This term Primary 4/5 has been learning about electricity. They used kits to investigate how to make a circuit and then used different components to show energy conversions. Primary 4 went on to investigate insulators and conductors.

Easter Assembly

On 3rd of April all the pupils and staff went along to Renfrew Trinity Church to celebate their Easter Assembly. The assembly was led by Primary 4/5 who told the Easter story through drama and music. The pupils had worked very hard and everyone enjoyed the assembly.

Excellent behaviour!

Most children in Primary 4/5 received excellent behaviour awards from Mrs Wieland this week for excellent behaviour throughout term 3. Keep it up next term!
All children in the class were able to attend the end of term reward for good behaviour during term 3. Well done!

KIRKYSPOOK!

This term Primary 4/5 have taken part in a very successful Joyning the Learning topic. They spent several weeks turning their classroom into the Great Hall at Kirkyspook! The children invented spells, drew maps, designed broomsticks to mention just a few. They also designed suits of armour and each helped create a large piece of furniture. The Open Evening was enjoyed by all those who attended and parents were impressed by the amount and quality of work their children had achieved. The children are looking forward to their next Joyning the Learning topic!
