Hi All

Thanks so much for your amazing photos and messages. Sorry for taking so long to reply. We have just holidays-the children had a full week off but the teachers had two In Service days.

The snow has returned but just a little. Did we tell you the schools were all closed in Aberdeenshire for almost a week at the beginning of term due to lots of snow?

We are learning about electricity and had a fantastic workshop with a Science expert today. We also found out about using solar cells to turn a propellor. The children will be writing instructions next week with their other teacher, Mrs Carter, on creating a circuit using wires, a battery and lightbulb. If it's ok with you we thought you could peer assess them on google docs the following week? We will add criteria so you can give them feedback. No rush for this if you're busy and it will take a while for us to get them sent.

New close up photos were taken today so we will send them soon.

We are also busy preparing for our assembly 'Celebration of Skills' on March 4th. The children can explain what they're doing in their individual replies. The following week we are inviting our parents in to partipate in a maths workshop.

Bye for now. Mrs Chalmers.
