This week P6 have been taking part in Climate week. We have been learning about the causes of climate change and what actions we can promote in our local community to help everyone become more sustainable. We have also been working on our team work and digital skills to produce a video for this campaign. Well done P6 and I look forward to seeing the finished video!🌟

Article 3 & 24

SDG 7 & 13

P4 have been working hard on openers, capital letters, commas, making lists, layout and organisation, and bossy verbs to create the perfect recipe! 👩‍🍳📝

We completed our final drafts and finished off with some lovely peer assessment. Everyone was very complimentary of each other’s work and did a fantastic job of spotting all the learning we have been practising in their classmates’ writing. It was wonderful to see the children celebrating each other’s successes! 🌟

Well done, P4s! 👏

🌍 Global Goal 4 – Quality Education: Our learning links beautifully to Quality Education, as we are developing new skills, sharing ideas and helping one another to improve our learning.

P3 had a fabulous day out at Swanston Farm today. As part of our class topic, the world of work around us – we visited Swanston farm to see what animals live there and the jobs of a local farmer #Article28 – The right to education.

The children got to meet highland cows, goats, chickens and horses on our tour of the working farm. The children worked hard to stay quiet and respectful around the animals to keep everyone safe and enjoyed hearing what jobs are involved in the animals care. #Article19 – The right to be safe.

We finished the tour by discussing some of the produce produced from farms, the benefits of a well balanced diet and supporting local farmers, this linked with our Health and wellbeing learning and our class topic! #Article24 – The right to be healthy #SDG15 – Life on land #SDG2 – Food security.

P3 have been working hard during their place value topic and IDL learning during #MathweekScotland this week!

This years theme was “Maths Matters” and the children loved linking this with our class topic “The World of work around us”. Learners shared their ideas of what jobs involved numeracy and loved sharing the jobs they would like to do that involve maths! #Article13 – The right to share thoughts freely.

P3 also looked at comparing objects and numbers using greater than, less than, and equal too symbols. #Article28 – The right to education

In Numeracy, Primary 2 were celebrating Maths Week Scotland through Digital Learning and play. In addition to our SEAL strands and number bonds, we are learning about greater than, less than and equal to. All learners were really engaged and completed tasks with support and independently, some groups were even looking at three digit numbers!

In Literacy, we spotted an opportunity for some outdoor learning. We are learning about bossy verbs and how we need to use them for instructional writing! We played ‘Simon Says’ and ‘What’s the Time Mr Wolf?’ using bossy verbs before using them in our writing.

We are Health and Wellbeing Pupil Leadership Group! We love PE! This week we focused more on spatial awareness and communication in ball games such as Bum Ball and Hoop Ball!

Primary 2 have defeated Mr Crowley and Mrs Webb in the ‘Tidy Up Battle’! Our class reward will be a trip a nearby playpark. Letter and further information to come!

Thank you to those who have volunteered for our trip to the Churchill Theatre! We now have enough volunteers to make the trip safe and successful!

P1 have had another super week!

For Maths Week we have been learning how to recognise, create and continue patterns. We enjoyed doing a pattern hunt during some outdoor learning! #GlobalGoal4 ✏️

In literacy we have been continuing learning our phonic sounds and have been working hard with our handwriting, blending and creating stories.

We have had lots of imaginative play experiences this week! #Article31 🎨

Take a look below to see some of what we have been up to!

Keep up the excellent work Primary 1! 🌟

P7 enjoyed the Big Dig WW2 Hut‑Building activity as part of one of their Maths Week Scotland lessons. It was a highly engaging, hands‑on task, with pupils excited to use real‑life materials to recreate mini huts. Working in groups encouraged negotiation, teamwork, and careful following of instructions, while experimenting with tessellation and right‑angle corners brought maths and history together in a fun, practical way.

Article 29, SDG 4, 11

Primary 4 had a busy week! 🌟

We have had lots of fun participating in Maths Week Scotland activities! We particularly enjoyed using digital games to develop our arithmetic skills, including number bonds, organising and ordering numbers. We worked collaboratively to solve problems on the screen and support each other with our mathematical thinking. 🧮💻

We were also lucky to have an outdoor learning opportunity at the grounds of Astley Ainslie. We worked together to create castles using natural materials that we gathered from our surroundings. We challenged ourselves to create symmetrical structures inspired by medieval Scottish castles, making links to shape, symmetry, measurement and problem-solving in Maths! 🏰🍂

A huge thank you to Margon and GreenTeam for your time and creative ideas! 💚

What a great week — Maths really DOES matter! 💪🏽🧮
