P3/2 Update
Good afternoon! We are hoping to get the weekly blog back up and running to let you know what your child has been doing in class.
In p3/2 we have completed a fun topic on Pirates. The children learned about pirates from the past and how life in the past is different to our life now. They learned about using co-ordinates on a map and created some super maps of their own. We enjoyed singing some pirate songs and creating pirate hats.
We are moving on to a science topic about the senses. We kicked off this week by going on a senses hunt inside and outside then making popcorn and talking about the smell, taste, feel, look and sounds of it.
Could you please send an empty box or 2 in with your child in the next couple of weeks for a project we will be doing in November. It could be a shoe box or cereal box, anything about that size.
Thanks for you support, have a lovely weekend!

P7F Weekly Blog 24.9.21
This week in p7F we started a new topic which is Earth Materials. We are all enjoying it so far and we are excited to find out all of our questions. Also in maths we are doing co-ordinates and some of us started four quadrants instead of one! We did have some fines which is quite sad. Our over and above is Zoe and Jaylee and our star worker is Roy.

P7J Moneysense Competition
Primary 7J have been challenged to design a Top Trumps card to promote and celebrate actions that we can take to become more environmentally friendly.
Pupils have been given a consent form to allow for entry to the competition. Please return the completed forms by Tuesday 28th September.
In preparation for completing their game-card designs, each pupil has been asked to carry out some research at home to find an interesting fact relating to their chosen environmentally friendly action and to plan a drawing to go with it.
The themes for our age group are: shopping, energy and travel/transport. Through discussion, we made a list of possible actions to feature on our cards, such as:
- turn radiators down and close doors to keep heat in;
- open curtains and blinds, switch lights off;
- turn electrical items off at the plug when not in use;
- re-use shopping bags;
- pick items that have recyclable packaging;
- upcycle unwanted or old furniture;
- make gifts instead of buying them;
- donate unwanted items to charity;
- shop in second-hand shops;
- drive electric cars;
- holiday locally: staycation instead of vacation;
- walk or cycle to school;
- take the train or bus when going on longer journeys.
Time will be given in class on Tuesday to complete the final entry designs.

Bike / Scoot to School Week
Please support us to encourage pupils to find a healthy and safe journey to school. There will be different challenges every day – we want to make it as fun as possible. There will be a few tips on how to get bikes / scooters ready and we would appreciate it if pupils wear a helmet. There will be extra house points to encourage this – and points make pizza!

P6 Hit the Slopes!
Primary 6 have started a 10 week block of skiing and tubing at Newmilns Snow and Sport Complex thanks to a grant that was applied for which means that it is free to all pupils.
We have been trying hard at the skiing (it is very tricky!) and we are improving our balance and co-ordination. We have been learning how to stop and slow down.
It’s been great fun so far!
In tubing we have been developing our teamwork skills and its been such a laugh!

Primary 1L and Mrs Cuthbertson
Good Afternoon,
We have been so busy in Primary 1 and are looking forward to our well deserved long weekend! Our topics have been Elmer, My School My Class and Rainbow fish. We have enjoyed the stories and have created some fabulous art work for our room. When we come back we will read the book Commotion in the Ocean and find out about the wonderful creatures living in our Oceans.
Literacy – We have been finding out all about Biff, Chip and Kipper and their family. We can make sentences about the family and can use the word and. We enjoy our phonics songs and have focused on’ s a t p’. When we come back we will be looking at ‘i and n’. Each child has a phonics card in their homework pack with some ideas of the games you can use to help at home. There is also a ‘common words’ card which will help consolidate our classroom learning. Our reading books are changed regularly. Please remember to send your child’s homework pack with the book in it every day.
Numeracy
We have been exploring the order of numbers to 10, odd and even, repeat patterns, bar graph, sorting and shape. We are working so hard and can accurately complete activities.
Loose Parts Play
We love this! Ask me all about the stories I make.
We have settled so well and have made lots of new friends. You should be really proud of how well each of your children are doing in Primary 1. We have lots of fun and they really make me smile! I hope you all have a lovely long weekend and look forward to hearing all about the things you have been up to.
Hugs from
Mrs Cuthbertson xx
