Balnain Primary

Best of luck to our shinty team for the national finals tomorrow 🤩🤞🏻

Some of our senior pupils might want to vote for the Blue Peter Book Awards...we read Onjali’s book earlier this year and loved it!

Robbie Burns celebrations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The wee class recently celebrated the songs and poems of Robert Burns in great style. Dancing, singing, reciting and sharing oatcakes and model cottages with their families.

Congratulations to our school shinty teams who played in the recent district tournaments. Both teams did so well and our P7 under team won! Thanks to our super coaches and supporters #teambalnain national finals here we come! 😁🏆

Our favourite Lego challenge...@newtonroom @SSASTEM We had to program the robots to travel down the road and stop as close to the Lego stuntwoman as possible. Very accurate measurements and programming required! Well done #teambalnain

P6/7 has a fantastic day with Dawn at @newtonroom @SSASTEM. They used lots of mathematics to help program the Lego robots and complete challenges. Great teamwork too 👍🏻

@BalnainPrimary not sure if you'll already have seen this, but might be useful? Xx

Our senior class enjoyed their STEM challenge, where they had to design a simple wind turbine capable of lifting a weighted cup from the floor...to be continued next week!

Our read-in figures are in: 5288 kids across Scotland read simultaneously yesterday morning, and there may have been more who didn't let us know in time. At least 42 schools from the Borders to Sutherland and The Outer Hebrides. Previous record well and truly smashed! #NBFRecord

@NessBookFest1 We’re loving our class novel The Boy at the Back of the Class by @OnjaliRauf
