Fraser ran his chess club again today. He was teaching skills on how to play chess, playing on traditional boards and using digital technologies for online chess.

In P7R we have been learning about Speed, Distance, and Time in maths.

We took our learning outside to calculate our speed by measuring various distances and timing ourselves walking, running, skipping and jumping these distances.
Once we knew our distance and the time it took to travel that distance, we could calculate our speed.

We were curious about how our speed changed due to different factors so we compared our speed going the same distance on the pitch compared to the muga and the tarmac.  It made us think about how speed, distance, and time are not just numbers they’re connected to the world around us.

We collaborated with partners to measure the distances and record our partners times.

Primary 6 pupils have been choosing a person from history to research and present to the class. We worked in two’s to complete this task. Click on our work to see our learning.

Primary 6 has been learning all about perimeter and using the formula 2 x (l+b) to calculate. We then took our learning outdoors and measured the perimeter of certain parts of the playground.

A huge congratulations to Abbie Brolls in P7 who represented Heathhall in the Scottish Schools National Swimming Championships. She took part in the 50m Freestyle event and came home with the GOLD MEDAL!
Fantastic achievement Abbie, we are all so proud of you!

As part of Mental Health Week 2025, P7R have been learning all about this years theme ‘Know yourself, grow yourself.’

We discussed that by being self-aware, people can better understand and manage their feelings and overcome any challenges they face.

We made coping strategy wheels that we can use inside and outside of class to help regulate our emotions.

We also took part in some Mental Health Week yoga.

To conclude Mental Health Week, P5-7 organised a games afternoon for members of the community. We all played a selection of games and enjoyed some great conversations!

P7 Pupils had a visit from Briony from Sustrans who spoke to us about air quality. We learnt about air pollution and what we can do to make the air we breathe cleaner.

We then headed out on a lichen hunt to the front and back of the school. We investigated the different types of lichen and came to the conclusion that the air is cleaner in the playground as opposed to the front of the school.

Ask us about the different types of lichen and what they mean!

Primary 5-7 organised a community afternoon where members of our local community came in to play traditional games. The games that were played were:

Snakes and Ladders

Dominoes

Beetle Drive

Bingo

All the pupils had fun playing these games with people who attended. A special mention goes to Olly R who ‘called’ the Bingo all afternoon.

Jaimee P6 said “I enjoyed playing games”.

Rocco (P6) said, “I enjoyed playing games. My favourite game was  the beetle drive”.
