EPSSA Indoor Athletics Contest

A group of Primary 6&7 students went along to Meadowbank stadium on Monday 3rd November to represent our school at the competition. We competed in a variety of track and field events. Unfortunately, we didn’t place in the top 3 schools on the day but we were the highest scoring school in some of the events. I am very proud of what we achieved and the sportsmanship we demonstrated on the day.

P3s new topic – Habitats 🌱🍃

This week P3 started their new class topic, “Habitats”. Pupils learnt what a habitat is, and different habitats across the world.

We started by looking at Desert habitats, where they are on the map and what plants and animals live there.

We used this knowledge to start the first of our 4 habitats for our mixed technique collages. Pupils drew a desert scene and then used hot and cold coloured pencils to create a sunset, before using glue and salt to create a sand like texture. #Article24

P3 also had a wonderful time learning about All Saints, attending Mass and participating in the Halloween disco! #Article2 #Article14

P5 Dive into water safety

Our P5s made a splash in their final swimming lesson by learning vital water safety skills! They even wore pyjamas to experience how it feels to swim in clothes — a realistic and fun way to understand how to stay calm and safe if they ever fell into water. Brilliant effort from everyone! 👏

P6 Learning W/C 27 October

P6 ended the “Our Prehistoric World” topic this week. We finished this by looking at how we know about prehistoric animals as well as how Early Humans lived. We looked at Skara Brae, an ancient village found in Orkney and fossils that are discovered by palaeontologists. We then collected leaves from outside and created our own fossil rubbings, such like the ones that scientists may make of fossils.

Well done Primary 6, this has been a very interesting topic and you have all put your best efforts into it!

Celts jewellery

Primary 4 Celtic Creations!

Primary 4 have been taking part in some fantastic learning this week as part of our Celts topic! We explored how the Celts designed and crafted their shields, as well as the beautiful jewellery they wore to show status and identity.

After carrying out our research, we used what we learned to design and create our own shields and Celtic-inspired jewellery. The children showed amazing creativity and enthusiasm—don’t they look brilliant?

We can’t wait to add our finished pieces to our display next week!
