Primary 1,2 and 3 were all very excited today as Mrs Duncan and Mrs Howie joined their classes to share with them their Book Bug(P1) and Read, Write, Count bags(P2 and P3) . The book bags are part of the Scottish Government initiative which aims to inspire a lifelong love of reading, writing and counting, and strengthen links between home and school learning by supporting parents in taking an active role in their child’s learning to give them the best start in life.  Mrs Duncan and Mrs Howie read the books from each bag with the children and shared the motivating learning games and activities with them. The children were very also very excited to have been given their bags to take home and share with their families. We look forward to gathering  feedback in due course about how families have used these together.

This term primary 2 have been learning about the park for their topic.  This week the children went a walk to the park to learn about push and pull forces.  The children played on the different park equipment and decided whether they were using a pushing or pulling force.  They also took into consideration the positions of the different activities in the park to help them plan their plan views of the park.
