World book day!
Titchywitch, a dragon, a lion and the rest of P2 cosied up in front of the fire this morning and shared our favourite stories to celebrate #WorldBookDay2020
I wonder…
It looks like P2 are going to be kept very busy as we work together to solve our questions and puzzles..
Reading Books 📖
A reminder that all P2 reading books should be returned on a Friday in the red bag provided. Children will be given a new book on the following Monday.
Pupils will not be able to choose a new reading book until previous book is returned. 📚
Thank you ✏️📚

Room on the Broom
P2 and P1 worked in collaboration to design and then create a new broomstick for the witch from ‘Room on the Broom”. We had some very creative designs and had to use lots of skills such as communication, teamwork and problem solving to bring our ideas to life. We ended up with some very impressive and original brooms! Well done!
The Three Little Pigs
Today Primary 1 & Primary 2 worked together to create a new house for The Three Little Pigs. They had to make sure that they worked as a team, their house could stand up by itself and was strong enough not to be blown down by the Big Bad Wolf.
P2 weather reports 🕶🌂🌍❄️☀️🌧🌩🌈🌪💧💦☔️⛅️🌤❄️
P2 have been learning all about the weather. We learned about weather scientists called meteorologists who study the weather and predict what it will be like. This is called a weather forecast. We enjoyed making our own weather station and presenting the weather on our very own ‘Catrine News’.
Have a a look at one of our meteorologists, Kiara, in action.
P2/3 Class Talk Homework Project
Title: All About Me
Pupils have been given a project to prepare and give a short talk ‘All about me’. Some ideas might be family, friends, hobbies, holidays and pets etc. but you can include anything about yourself.
Pupils are allowed to bring in props for their talk. These can include photographs, posters, medals etc. Children should practise their talk at home in order to be able to fluently talk to the class.
Talks should be ready to be heard for Monday 20th May

P4/5 Homework
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
Our Environment
P2/3 enjoyed our discussion with engineer George Burns about the environment and what we can do to protect it. Afterwards, we decided to head outside to explore our playground environment and made lists of the living and non-living things we found.
Take a look!
World Poetry Day
Today Primary 7 have been celebrating World Poetry Day by learning how to write their own limericks. They found this quite tricky, but lots of fun! Here are some of the pupils with their finished limericks. Good work!
ECC – Gruffalo Room
In the Gruffalo Room the children have enjoyed telling stories to each other – this develops their communication skills including pre-reading skills.
They have been doing lots of cutting and sticking- this requires concentration and uses their fine motor skills.
Games such as Matching Pairs and Pack my Bag have been very popular. The children are learning to take turns and working out the rules of the game. They need also need to focus and use their observation skills.

This week in Primary 3/4
We have had a super week in Primary 3/4. In Maths we have started learning about multiplication. We have been exploring array patterns and multiplication on a number line. We have been completing lots of different activities in Active Literacy. Ellis’s group were searching for nouns and she managed to find almost 50 in her book. In Health and Wellbeing we have been learning about ways to keep ourselves healthy. Aimee, Ellis and Lexie had their work chosen for the “Good Work Wall” this week. Well done, girls!
