Welcome to our new blog. This online space will help us to share our learning with parents, carers and the wider world and will contain weblinks to support learning. Much of the content will be created by the pupils themselves, as they develop their digital skills and learn about staying safe online. We hope you enjoy finding out about what we get up to in school. Please check back often and leave us a comment. For the 2019-2025 blog and our Committee News site, click on the links under bookmarks on the right.

This term pupils in P5, P6 and P7 have been learning how to play Basketball. They have learned new skills like dribbling with alternate hands, how to do a lay up, and how to spin the ball on their finger. They have also been working on their teamwork skills.

“You win and you lose!” – Andrew

“We all did our best for the teams” – Cara

“I learned to spin the basketball on my finger” – Harris

“I did my best” – Robert

Here are some pictures from our final game today…

P5-7 have been leading their learning through play, inspired by items in the much anticipated Mystery Box. The box held a digital camera, 3d glasses, a medal and a wooden box.

Ivy – “we have been adapting when things go wrong, we come back and try again to make it better

Piper – “we have been communicating with each other about what we are going to do next”

RHS Level 5 Award

Leave a reply

We were delighted to receive our RHS Level 5 Award this morning from the RHS Schools Gardening Programme. As well as a certificate, digital badge and a sign for the garden, we received a selection of seeds and £150 of garden vouchers. We will let you know in the coming weeks how the children plan to spend their vouchers to support next season’s gardening.

Well done to all the children involved in Garden Club and to those who helped to keep the polycrub watered over the summer.

Peter Mackay visit

Leave a reply

This afternoon P5-7 had a visit from Scotland’s Makar, Peter Mackay, as part of Braemar Literary Festival. We asked him about his role as Makar, about his poetry and also asked about Gaelic, as we have just started learning Gaelic in class. He shared some of his poems with us and we made up a funny story together about a spooky house in the woods. After he left, we wrote poems about Biscoff biscuits!
