This week in P2 we have been learning how to read weigh scales, measure capacity and measure height. Take a look at us measuring the weight and height of things all around our classroom.

Today we celebrated St Andrews Day by wearing tartan and creating pictures of the saltire and thistle. Take a look at some of our creations!

Continuing on with our instructional writing topic, this week we had to write instructions about how to build snowmen, we practiced this in our play before writing in our jotters.

P3 started the week by enjoying some time with their P7 buddies working on their digital skills.

They also finished their length and height numeracy topic and consolidated their learning by measuring different classroom objects in cm and ordering them.

In literacy, P3 used thesauruses to discover synonyms for every day words to transform them into ✨wow✨words. This developed their digital skills and their vocabulary! #Article28 – The right to education.

Finally, in art, they started their third habitat for our topic masterpieces! Learners used oil pastels to create a realistic ocean background. #Article24

Primary 4 have enjoyed celebrating St Andrew’s Day (a little early!). Beth led our session and shared lots of interesting information about St Andrew and Scotland, including why the Scottish flag is a saltire.

We were also lucky enough to taste some local Scottish produce. A very special thank you to Beth and her mum, Clare, for providing the delicious treats! I think the cheddar cheese and shortbread were the class favourites.

Well done, P4!

P6 had an amazing time during book week Scotland. We read our buddies favourite book to them on Wednesday. We went for an amazing trip to the library on Thursday where we completed a scavenger hunt and looked through all the books. On Friday some of dressed up as our favourite book characters and discussed our favourite books. Well done everyone for an amazing week and keep up the reading!📖

Whilst visiting BEAR Scotland, we learned about the jobs of civil engineers and explored three types of bridges: cantilever, cable-stayed, and suspension.

We then worked in teams as project managers, health and safety officers, and communication liaisons to create our own bridges. Our structures had to use all the materials provided, stand independently, and meet a required length. Every team was successful — we truly have a class full of young engineers!

After our constructions were complete, we walked along the old road bridge. It was very windy, and some of us were surprised by the height, but we managed it. What a fun and memorable day!

We really enjoyed reading The Ballad of Cactus Joe by Lily Murray and Clive McFarland. We were especially enthused by Joe’s prickly personality and even wrote special applications to become Joe’s companion in the desert! We also recognised the rhyming patterns in the story and tried to emulate them in our own writing — we found this so fun!

Throughout the week, we had lots of time to read texts of our own choosing, visit the school library, and discuss our books with friends. Some people have even begun writing their own stories!
