P5-Roses for Mary

In October, the month dedicated to Mary, our pupils painted rose stones to represent their prayers and intentions. They placed them in our Mary Garden and gathered to pray, showing love and gratitude through this creative act. The activity helped them reflect, express their faith, and feel part of our faith community, linking to UNCRC Article 14 – every child’s right to freedom of thought, belief, and religion.

Recreating a Celtic Roundhouse

Primary 4 have been learning about Celtic roundhouses. We discovered that roundhouses were important community buildings in Celtic times. They were built using wattle and daub for the walls and had large conical roofs made from thatch. Inside, families lived around a central open fire, which was used for cooking and heating. There were no chimneys, so the smoke drifted up through the thatched roof. Sometimes, even farm animals were kept inside the roundhouse to keep them safe and warm.

In class, we recreated roundhouses using clay and straw. We really enjoyed constructing them, and even using them for play afterwards!

Article 31: the right to rest, play and take part in cultural and artistic activities.

P3 spelling superstars ⭐️

P3 have been working super hard since the start of term to learn their common spelling words. This week they participated in various active spelling activities but particularly spelling enjoyed using play dough to create their words #Article31 #Article28

This hard work, focus and determination payed off as they all scored extremely high in our end of week spelling test – Well done P3 🤩⭐️

They also self assessed their literacy work so far and set new writing and reading targets for this term.

Titanic Project

Our Primary 5 class have been busy creating shoebox models to show the different classes on board the Titanic. From the grand first-class cabins to the more modest third-class rooms, the children have learned about the contrasts in living conditions and the experiences of passengers on that historic journey.

Through this project, we explored themes of fairness and equality, linking our learning to UNCRC Article 2 – the right of every child to be treated fairly, no matter who they are. Just as passengers on the Titanic were treated differently depending on their class, we discussed how important it is that in today’s world every child is valued equally and given the same rights and opportunities.

The children showed fantastic creativity, teamwork, and attention to detail – well done P5! 🌟
