What a great first week we have had in P1b! Everyone is settling in amazingly 😀 making lots of new friends and learning the school routine 🌟🌟 @NiddrieMillPS

We’ve been working hard @NiddrieMillPS to get everything ready to welcome our families back tomorrow morning! See you soon! ❤️

Today we learnt about the 5 basic tastes. We tried different foods and guessed what taste group each one was from. 🥨🍯🍫🍋🍜 @NiddrieMillPS

Last wake and shake with the Terrific 3 😂💃🏽 @NiddrieMillPS @MissEdmonds1 @MissSimmons29

Health Week Day 4 - Sports Science Today we had the sport scientists from the University of Edinburgh to test our flexibility, agility, speed and strength. @NiddrieMillPS @MrLyallNMPS

Health Week Day 3 - Netball We had a super netball taster session with a netball coach today! We played lots of games which introduced the fundamental rules and skills for netball, including different ways to pass, shoot and offensive/defensive techniques 🏀 @NiddrieMillPS

Health Week Day 3 - Pedal Cinema What fun we had producing energy using exercise bikes! Everyone had a turn pedalling the bikes to create energy and power the cinema (projector and speaker). The rest of the class cheered them on and had a boogie to the songs 🚲🔋 @NiddrieMillPS

Health Week Day 2 - Biomedical Classroom Today we had a session with biomedical scientists from the NHS who taught us about viruses and bacteria. We made our own virus/bacteria and carried out some swabbing and examining tests. 🥼👨🏻‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬🔬 @NiddrieMillPS @MrLyallNMPS

Health Week Day 1 - Rugby We enjoyed an obstacle course which included lots of rugby skills: agility training, tackling and scoring. We then played an offensive/defensive game of touch rugby. Thank you to the Portobello RFC for running a great taster session!! @NiddrieMillPS 🏈🏃‍♀️

Health Week Day 1 - Hockey Lots of fun on the hockey circuits. We practised dribbling, passing and shooting with the hockey balls and sticks. 🏒 @NiddrieMillPS @MrLyallNMPS

3/3 And of course P3 were exploring poo (biscoffi) samples and creating their own virus, fungi and bacteria! 🦠🧫 We have also rubbed our mucky paws on a slice of bread too.... Big thanks to our new friends @IbmsLbb #BiomedicalScienceDay2023 @Mangan1Mangan @MissPenderNMPS

Today we learnt how to add speech on the coding programme @ScratchJr. Here are a few of the programmes the class produced! @NiddrieMillPS

P5B had a great day yesterday at our Chemistry Focus Day with @IntoUniversity. We recapped what a University is and what University life might be like, learnt what chemistry is, did lots of group experiments and even made our own play dough! 🧪👩🏽‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬 @NiddrieMillPS

This week P5b have been looking at Ramadan and Eid, working towards leading a class assembly on it. They have been so inquisitive and engaged, worked together and have shown great confidence. Thank you to @MrsSafiNmps for all your help this week. Eid Mubarak ⭐️🌙 @NiddrieMillPS

Super informative posters and presentations about famous people from Edinburgh. Each group did an amazing job of educating the rest of the class about their research! Well done everyone 🌟 @NiddrieMillPS

Today we split into groups and researched different famous stories/people from Edinburgh in the past. Each group looked at Burke and Hare, Deacon Brodie or Greyfriars Bobby. The children used iPads to read and take notes about their person/story. 📚👩‍💻 @NiddrieMillPS

We had a great visit to Waterstones book store today! We explored lots of different genres of books and picked a book using our World Book Day tokens. P5B were super stars! ⭐️🌟📚 @NiddrieMillPS @Waterstones @WorldBookDayUK
