Pr 5/6 - Patterns!

Primary 5/6 have been learning about patterns in class although have lately discovered patterns can be made everywhere, not just on paper!

The challenge was set for partners to make 2 patterns out of materials around the secret garden. They then had to get their partner group to try to work out the rules for their pattern.

Jamie-Lee and Tyler tried their best to catch us out but we soon realised their pattern was going up in stones of 10 starting from 20, and they had a stick and berry separating between the stones.

We had a lot of fun!

Pr 6/7 : A busy start to the year!

Primary 6/7 have been very busy so far this year.

Not only have they been working hard in their own class but they have been helping in Primary 1/2 as well.

Primary 7's have been taking their roles as buddies to the Primary 1's very seriously and supporting the new additions to Strichen School by showing them around, helping them get ready for the start of the day, playtimes, lunch times and home times and being involved in a weekly buddying activity. So far they have enjoyed paired reading and arts and crafts.

Although they have to wait until next year to be buddies, the Primary 6's have been very helpful in taking part in the same activities with the Primary 2's. They are also involved in organising and running play ground games for the younger stages classes at break and lunch times. Everyone is having great fun working together!

Primary 7 House Captains

We have a small group of Primary 7 pupils this session - although they are very enthusiastic to be involved in school events.

As there are only 11 pupils we have decided as a group that ALL the pupils will be House Captains for their House Teams. This will mean they are all involved in evcents and activities.

The House Captains are:

BROWN: Chloe Taylor and Amelia Paterson

COUTTS: Elisa Gibb, Teigan Allan and Erin Ross

GORDON: Aneila Dalgarno and Georgia McAdam

YOUNG: Callum Taylor, Ruth Taylor, Nadine Allan and Adam Fowlie

This year the House Captains will also take on a range of responsibilites each term. These will include:

- Being Buddies to the new Primary 1 pupils

- Organising the Playground Squad to help the younger pupils with games and activities.

- Ensuring the hall resources, the laptop trolley and library are kept tidy and in order.

A new venture this year will be the Strichen School Community Cafe. This will be open on a monthly basis from 2.00 - 3.00pm and will be open to anyone from the village who wants to come along and join us for a coffee and a chat! More details to folow.
