The children continue to be excited about their phonics and their skills and confidence grow each day. Over the next 2 weeks they will be bringing home their first reading books and will be very proud to share with you. We have completed set 1 sounds and are starting to explore sounds such as oo and ee . Please ensure they keep the home reading book in their bag as we use them in class daily. Thank you for your continued support. I am super proud of all their progress.
P6/7’s Outdoor Learning in Craigengillan
We ventured through the beautiful Craigengillan Estate today to identify trees and wildlife in our local area. We were so lucky to see swans, geese and even a heron looking for lunch! We all had great fun and are looking forward to heading out again next Friday!
All aboard the ten train!
Primary 1 have been exploring ten frames recently during their number talks. They further developed the skills they have learned and used the ten frame dice and ten trains to begin to look at number stories. Great work every one 😀
A special letter arrived for us today!
Primary 6/7 were left a mysterious letter this morning! We have been set a challenge by an Elf called ‘Elfis’ to discuss how we can add some Christmas sparkle to our Paths Pupil of the Day! We have decided that when it is our turn for Pupil of the Day, that we will wear our Christmas jumper, a party hat and have Secret Elf Agents to share compliments! 🌲🎅🏻🌟
Book week 2020
Here in Primary 1 we love reading stories 😀 For book week, we read ‘The very hungry caterpillar’ and acted out the scenes from the book with finger puppets whilst finishing off by drawing some pictures from the book 🙂
Anti-bullying week 2020
Primary 1 have created their own ‘anti-bullying’ pledge for the class. They spoke about the importance of being kind and how to be a good friend 🙂
Qualities we like to see in each other!
Today, P6/7 discussed the positive qualities we have in our wonderful class. We have designed posters to share our learning on this and to raise awareness of Anti-bullying Week with the school community!
Odd socks to kick off Anti-bullying Week 2020

‘5 to Thrive’ Themes in P6/7
We have enjoyed learning about ‘5 to Thrive’ this week as part of Children in Need. We focussed on themes of getting active, curiosity and giving. We got active today for Children in Need by holding our very own ‘Skipathon’. Thank you to Ross, Active Schools for his encouragement! We managed a total of 3551 skips as a class in only 2 minutes! 🌟
