Arts and crafts linked with our topic- The Human Body.

The start of May in P3 💐🌻 (Class of 2023-2030)

P3 were excited to get back in touch with their digital learning this week and enjoyed consolidating their numeracy knowledge on Sumdog targeted to their individual next steps!

They have also been learning about Mary – our mother, and why and how people celebrate Mary in May. P3 and P4 worked together to create symmetrical mandala’s outdoors linking their numeracy, RE and outdoor learning together. #Article14 – The right to thoughts and religion

P3 also enjoyed their second singing session with NYCOS learning different songs to learn pulse and beat! #Article15 – The right to join groups

Finally we ended the week with an online assembly to allow all learners to see each other and celebrate their successes of the week!

P3 fractions, novels and PE! (Class of 2023-2030)

P3 started their fractions topic this week. They learnt what parts and wholes are, how to write fractions and began identifying 1/2 of different things. #Article28 – The right to education.

P3 also started their first class novel series “Flat Stanley” and created some stunning front covers! We also enjoyed the sunshine and practised for sports day during PE.

Finally, P3 had their first session from NYCOS (The national youth choir of Scotland) where they found their singing voices and enjoying discussing different beats and pulses.

Daily Update – Thursday 30th April 2026

Dear all.

Thanks for your support today with the lines. Standing that little bit further back really helped our pupils and teachers.

We had hoped to be able to update you about Parent Consultations today but are still awaiting further guidance from Head Office. I really hope to have this information to share tomorrow. Apologies for the delay.

Our Parent Council Meeting will take place tomorrow, thanks to those who have notified us that they will be attending. Please be advised that all available spaces have been applied for so unfortunately you won’t be able to come if you haven’t booked. We will of course share minutes of the meeting with you all via email next week.

Please remember that pupils will only attend school from Wednesday to Friday next week, due to Public Holiday on Monday 4th May and staff In-service Day on Tuesday 5th.

As always, please continue to ask any questions to myself or Mr Crowley in person or via school email (admin@st-cuthberts.edin.sch.uk) or via telephone on 0131 443 2621.

Kind Regards

Mr Brack
