This week the P6&7 class have been learning about the UNCRC Rights of the Child and revisiting the SHANARRI wellbeing wheel. We have been using this information to discuss and agree on our Class Charter Rules, voting for the rights and responsibilities most important to us. Next week they will create their Class Charter display in the classroom.
Primary 4&5 have been very engaged with their reading. Each day, we have some quiet time dedicated to personal reading and the children show great focus on reading their books.
Every classroom in Bowmore Primary School has a reading area where children can enjoy reading in a comfortable and quiet environment.
✨Primary 1-3 have been very busy learning about the weather and climate. They have been learning about the different instruments used to measure the weather and so decided to make their own wind sock! P2 and 3 learnt about the compass points and we tested our wind socks to see which direction the wind was coming from! 🐾 Next Steps – Measure and record the weather.

Seachdain Saidheans 13 -17mh Am Màrt
’B e ceanglaichean an topaig a bh’ againn airson seachdain saidheans am bliadhna. Leis a sin, rinn sinne obair air oighreachd, a’ sgrùdadh mar a gheibh sinn diofar feartan bho ar pàrantan. Thàinig pàrantan a-staigh dhan sgoil gus pàirt a ghabhail ann an gnìomhan oighreachd. Leugh sinn an leabhar “Na Stocan agus Na Stùcan” airson ionnsachadh mu oighreachd agus rinn a’ chlann na caractaran a cleachdadh taois-chluiche. Bha tòrr spòrs againn agus tha sinn cho taingeil gun tàinig pàrantan a-staigh gus ionnsachadh còmhla rinn.
Connections was the theme for this year’s Science Week. We chose to learn about inheritance, learning about how characteristics are inherited from our parents. We invited parents to join us for a fun afternoon to take part in inheritance activities. We read The Smeds and The Smoos to start off our afternoon and the children enjoyed making the characters using playdough. We had a lovely afternoon and would like to thank parents for coming in to help us to learn about inheritance.
Mar phàirt dhen phròiseact againn “Tuathanas gu Truinnsear”, chaidh sinn shìos dhan a’ bhùth gus faighinn a-mach cò as a tha ar biadh a’ tighinn. Choimhead sinn air lusan agus measan a bhios sinn fhèin ag ithe. Fhuair sinn a-mach gu bheil ar biadh a’ tighinn bho dhùthchannan eadar-dhealaichte air feadh an t-Saoghal. Coimheadaidh sinn a-nis air a’ mhapa a dh’fhaicinn dè an astar a tha aig gach lus mus tig iad dhan bhùth againne.
As part of our Farm to Fork topic, we went down to the shop to find out where some of our food comes from. We looked at fruits and vegetables that we enjoy and we found out that they come from different countries all over the world. We will now look at where these countries are and how many miles our food has to travel before it arrives at the shop.

Today we listened to Miss McKerrell reading a story from the active board. The story was called Digiduck and the Big Decision. In the story, digiduck learned that it can be upsetting to make fun of your friends online even when you think it’s just a joke. After the story we had a talk about when things pop up on our screens and what we should do about it. Then we drew a picture of one of the characters from the story.
Tha a’ chlann air a bhith ag obair cho trang an t-seachdainsa is mar sin, dh’fhalbh sinn a-mach dhan raoin-chluiche gus dens a thogail. Dh’obraich iad ann an dà bhuidheann gus planadh a dhèanamh mus do thog iad na dens aca. Tha mi cinnteach gun aontaich sibh rium gun do rinn iad deagh oidhirp!
Tha children have been very busy this week so we took to the playground to build some dens. They worked in 2 groups to plan the resources they would need and to discuss what their dens would look like. I’m sure you’ll agree that they did a fantastic job!
Feasgair an-diugh, dh’fhalbh sinn air chuairt shìos am Battery gus bheothaichean agus lusan ùra a lorg. Chunnaic sinn eich, caoraich agus tòrr eòin. Tha sinn cho fortanach gu bheil an t-àite seo cho faisg oirnn.
This afternoon, we took a walk down the Battery to find animals and signs of spring. We saw some buds and flowers as well as horses, sheep and plenty of birds. We are so lucky to have this right on our doorstep.
As part of our physical education we have been learning about sequencing. The children took part in a yoga session learning how to sequence movements as well as develop timing.
Today Primary 7 completed part 1 of their leadership training assisted by the Active Schools Co-Ordinator. They worked in pairs and small teams to write and deliver creative lesson plans.
ELCC enjoyed a break in the stormy weather to read their favourite stories outside!
Tha Clas 1 air a bhith trang an-diugh ag iasgach airson faclan chumanta. Tha iad uabhasach math air na faclan a leughadh.
G1 have been busy this morning, fishing for tricky words on the tuff tray. They are great at reading their words.
Rinn sinn seisean còmhla ri Leugh le Linda an-diugh air Teams. Dh’ionnsaich sinn na samhlaidhean airson diofar bheothaichean, dh’èist sinn ri sgeulachd agus sheinn sinn òran ùra. Bha sinn air bhioran nuair a chunnaic sinn na sgoiltean eile.
We joined in with Leugh le Linda today for a live session. We learnt the signs for a few different sea creatures, listened to a story and sang a new Gaelic song. It was exciting to see so many other Gaelic classes from all over Scotland on our screen.
Today Primary 1/2 had lots of fun talking about the language of capacity! Full, empty, half full, nearly empty, nearly full.
Robert Burns style group time! Today we discussed tartan and looked at lots of different tartans on the computer. We spoke about families belonging to a clan and having their own individual tartan – colours and patters. This morning we designed our our group tartan.
ELCC have been exploring numbers to 10. They are learning to recognise the numbers, count the dots and put them in order.
We listened to music called ‘The Storm’ by Benjamin Britten. After lots of practice with the instruments we made our own composition of the storm from our story about the Loch Ness monster. Can you hear the storm get loud and then quiet again? We explored different rhythms and tried to add that in too.
Chòrd dìnnear na Nollaige glan ri Clas 1-3 an-diugh! Fhuair iad truinnsear làn bhiadh agus reòiteag na Nollaig mar mhìlseag. Seall air na geansaidhean spaideil aca cuideachd!
G1-3 really enjoyed their Christmas lunch today at school! They had a full plate of delicious food and a Christmas ice cream for pudding. Look at all their fancy Christmas jumpers!
