Primary 6 have set their goals for this week and displayed them on the ‘Mindset Monday’ board. Aimee said – “it is important to set yourself goals so you have something to work towards”. Tommy agreed with this and said “setting yourself goals can help motivate you to achieve them”. 
In P4/5 we have welcomed some new additions to our classroom in the form of caterpillars. The insects are happily living within a class tank where we will observe the changes over the coming days and weeks. We will be learning about their lifecycle and will hopefully get to see it first hand.
This week the Primary 7’s will be learning to spell words containing the ‘f’ phoneme. The spelling words for each group are:
Blue Group
Green Group
Pupils should continue complete the fun spelling tasks in their homework jotters, however jotters will not be collected in at the end of the week. The class will have a weekly spelling test on a Friday as usual. Thank you for your continued support.
During the course of this week all children will be given a personalised common word spelling grid. These are the words that your child should focus over the next few weeks. When they feel confident with these words they can bring their grid to school for a spelling check-up before moving on to the next set of common words specific to them.
The 4 week rolling programme of phonemes, diacritical marking, tricky words and spelling rules will continue during class time.
Children should continue to access maths tasks through Active Learn as well as practise their times tables.
Thanks for your support,
Mrs McCaig

Primary 6 had great fun last Thursday designing and making their own creations for the Easter egg competition. There were some fantastic ideas and great creativity was shown when designing the eggs. Our overall winner was Summer – well done! Here are some pictures of our creations.
Once again our pupils have amazed us with their creativity and imagination and have done an amazing job of decorating their eggs. Every year we see new ideas and although there can be only one winner in each stage, the children should all be extremely proud of their creations. Well done to all the winners who are pictured below.
