Hello Primary 4 
We have been very busy over the last 2 weeks, doing lots of nice activities and having lots of fun. We had a wonderful day on our trip to Ayr Farm Park (pictures on the SWAY link below) and made a mini book about our trip. We have been finished our sessions with Mrs Millar from Scottish Attainment Challenge team who was helping us with our multiplication strategies. We have been doing outdoor learning for our maths learning about right angles, using directions and completing symmetrical pictures.
It’s the last full week of school this week and we have lots of fun activities planned! We have hope you all enjoy!

Have a lovely week,

It is hard to believe that next week is our last week of term!
This term has been extremely busy with P7 Personal Research Projects being completed, Sports Championships, Sports Day, secondary school transition days, Jubilee celebrations and with even more still to come!
We all enjoyed the Jubilee party and held a competition in class to design a commemorative plate for the Queen’s 70 years on the throne. All the designs were fabulous with lots of creativity being shown, however, after much deliberation Lewis was chosen as the winner, with Katie-Leigh and Codey as the runner-ups.

In Science we have continued to learn about flowering plants. Last week we dissected a flower and identified all the parts, learned how plants reproduce with the help of pollinating insects and discovered how plants create their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
We also re-potted the tomato plants we have been growing as they have really sprouted these last couple of weeks and were getting far too big for the seed trays.
This week, we are looking forward to hearing each other’s personal talks, attending Prize Giving and, of course, going to the Zoo!
Let’s hope we have a lovely dry day for our big trip on Wednesday.

Good morning,
I hope you had a nice weekend. A positive start to the week with the sun making an appearance this morning. It’s hard to believe that this is the children’s last full week in Primary 1! Where has all the time gone?
We had a fantastic time at the Farm Park and the Sunshine came out for us.
The Zip Wire and jumping pillows were the most popular activies.
We will be consolidating all of our learning this week. The children really enjoyed their visit to Primary 2 and Primary 3/2. I just need to convince them now that I’m not coming with them!
Have a lovely week,
Mrs Cuthbertson xx

Hi everyone
Last week was a very busy week from performing at the Edinburgh Playhouse, bowling and rock climbing, learning how to play rounders to writing poems!
Firstly, I want to say a huge well done and express how proud we all are of both Primary 5 and Primary 6 showcasing their talents and all that they had learned over the last 8 months up at the Edinburgh Playhouse last Monday! It was an unforgettable experience and every single pupil did brilliantly. Unfortunately that is Disney finished for this year but it has been hugely rewarding for everyone involved. We would like to give a final thank you to all pupils and family members with their help and support with the production and a huge thank you for making the journey to Edinburgh to celebrate with us!
The fun continued for P5 last week on Thursday as we finally got to go on a school trip! We all had great fun at the climbing wall in Kilmarnock where the pupils tried new things out with their comfort zones, challenging themselves and their peers and demonstrated great team work together as a class. This continued at the bowling where there was some fun competition between peers and even had Miss Mair and I throwing some bowls! The great day was finished off in the sun with a game of rounders that we learned to play this week as part of PE, building on our team work and communication within different groups in the class.
Despite the very busy week we did still achieve lots of learning in class as well! We used the outdoors to collect information using our senses about summer time and used this to write a poem called ‘summer senses’. The pupils were able to use their rhyming knowledge and personal experiences about summer to write some fantastic poems which we will redraft this week. Within literacy we also spent a lot more time on our class novel ‘The Queen’s Nose’ which continued the theme of poetry in one task where the novel presented a riddle which we analysed together to solve. We also used our metalinguistic and inference skills to work out the meaning of tricky words and phrases to build on our comprehension skills and understanding of the book.
Within maths we came to the end of our block on expressions and equations which the pupils have really enjoyed. We have been using our already established knowledge on the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to complete some algebra type equations and solve some missing number problems. We also used this knowledge in function machines and the pupils liked the different spin on ordinary sums and having an insight into some of the areas of maths that they will be experiencing as they move up the school.
Primary 5 also started an art piece on drawing a picture of themselves in a graduation gown which we will populate with their goals for next year moving into Primary 6. We aim to finish this during this busy week and pass it on to their new P6 teacher.
I can’t believe that it is the last full week of term! We have a lot of busy, fun activities planned for the next 8 days and I can’t wait to spend my last few weeks at Hurlford with Primary 5. They have been a pleasure to teach over the last year and I am so proud of each of them.
Happy holidays when they come!

What a busy start to June! There’s been no time to update the blog.
We had our brilliant school trip to Heads of Ayr farm park. Great weather and lots of fun had by all. Our first stop was the creepy critters where the children were excited to see ferrets, rats, mice, snakes, birds, chipmunks and even a skunk. Then on to the bouncy pillows, a favourite for everyone! We then went round to see all the large animals and learned a lot of interesting facts. Followed by playing on the wee tractors and great adventures in the fort before lunch. Then we had time to see the horses on the way to soft play before our last stop in the play park, trampolines and sand pits. I think all the children will have reported back that they had a fabulous time. Great way to finish of the year.
Then the same week we managed our first successful sports day since covid struck. A big well done to all the children who took part. It was quite daunting for some of the children and they did well to race and have fun.
On top of all the extra things this term, we’ve carried on with our Literacy, Numeracy, topic on Transport, French and Health and Wellbeing work.
Hard at work learning about multiplication, doubles, subtraction and place value. We finished off our block of learning with our visiting numeracy teacher Mrs Millar with a rotation of ‘fun maths box’ activities which the children did really well with.
Outdoor learning is enjoyed by all in p3/2
We had some fun with punctuation activities outside, including a few games and challenges.
In our Transport topic, we’ve been learning about vehicles on the road and vehicles that travel in water. We’re creating a fabulous wall display of vehicles and the children wrote super poems about cars. In our last week, we’ll be looking at vehicles that travel in the air and possibly emergency vehicles if there’s time.
A busy week and a half ahead as there’s so much left to do and so little time but as always, we’ll have fun! If you have a school chrome book at home, please remember to return it as soon as possible.
Have a good week,
Mrs Miller
