P3 have been working on following the school values by being respectful, supportive and active members of the class. #Article28 – The right to education.
P3 have been enjoying their book review Thursdays and our visit from the mobile library book bus ! 🚌📚
Finally, P3 also started their “world of work topic” by looking at farmers and the important jobs they do to help us # Article24 – The right to be healthy. P3 are super excited for their trip to Swanston Farm.
All learners in Primary 2 are really settled and enjoying the blended approach of learning and play in the classroom. We are learning to demonstrate many of the school values through play including creativity and respect. #Article31 #RightToPlay
In Numeracy, we are learning to understand place value. Learners are enjoying working at the teaching table on their SEAL strategies, completing tasks with Mrs Webb and engaging in digital learning opportunities such as using the CleverTouch board to practise number bonds. #SDG4 #QualityEducation
In Literacy, we are learning to chose and respond to a story. We are learning how to create instructions. We learned about the important parts of a recipe and look forward to learning even more about punctuation & verbs this term. #Article28 #RightToEducation
Primary 2, along with Primary 3, are the Health and Wellbeing Pupil Leadership Group. We are all leaders on Team P2! This week our focus was on hydration. What is dehydration? How does it make us feel? Why do we need water? What are some hydrating and non-hydrating foods? All great questions to ask your learner! #SDG3 #SDG6 #GoodHealthandWellbeing #CleanWater
Last week P6 attended Edinburghs outdoor learning challenge. We had great fun participating in a range of activities. Well done P6 for being such an excellent class during the trip!🤩

Primary 4 had a fantastic adventure at Craigmillar Castle on Thursday! After a long bus journey and a lovely woodland walk, we arrived at the grand castle, ready to step back in time. 🌳🏰
We were introduced to lots of fascinating castle artefacts and learned all about how people lived, worked and defended themselves hundreds of years ago. Our absolute favourites had to be the chainmail and helmet — we couldn’t resist imagining ourselves as medieval knights! 🛡️⚔️
We then set off to explore the castle and its grounds, discovering poisonous berry trees, winding spiral staircases, medieval toilets and enormous fireplaces along the way. We even climbed right up to the castle roof to keep watch for any approaching enemy attackers! 👀🏹
It was a wonderful opportunity to bring our learning to life and experience a little piece of Scotland’s history for ourselves. P4 were a real asset to St Cuthbert’s, showing fantastic manners, asking thoughtful questions and listening carefully to all the wonderful facts shared by the Historic Environment Scotland staff.
Article 29 – the right to an education that develops our talents and abilities and helps us learn about and respect our own culture and the cultures of others.
Wow – P1 have been so busy since they started school! We have been settling in, learning our new routines and joining in with the wider school life!
We have started our literacy and numeracy lessons and have been enjoying lots of creative play! #Article31 🌟
It is also Climate Action month and P1 have enjoyed reading ‘I love my Bike’ by Simon Mole. We have been discussing why travelling by bike is better for our planet and have even started a Climate display in our classroom! #GlobalGoal13 🌎
Take a look below to see what we have been up to the last few weeks!
Keep up the super work p1!
In PE, the children have been developing their teamwork and communication skills through cooperative games and challenges. They worked together, listened to one another and learned that good teamwork means including everyone and supporting each other.
UNCRC Article 31: Every child has the right to play and take part in recreational activities.
This week, the P7 students have been working hard to plan and create persuasive posters for the upcoming House Captain election.
The students applied their understanding of persuasive language and eye-catching design to convince their peers to vote for their chosen candidates. Through this project, they developed key skills in layout design, punchy copywriting, and visual communication to ensure their messages stand out.
