Good evening,

As you maybe aware from the school app,  we are carrying out a homework survey to gather your thoughts about  your experiences and opinions about homework.  We want to improve learning at home so all feedback is extremely valuable.

The link  to the learners survey is below and is for the learners to complete as their experience and opinion is important as well.   We  would appreciate it if you could help your child to complete the survey.

We would appreciate it if you could complete the survey by Wednesday 19th January 2022.

Many thanks

Welcome back, and Happy New Year.

I hope you had a lovely Christmas break. The children have settled in quickly to our routines and learning after their break.

Below is a selection of photographs of some of the actvities that we have been carrying this week.

We have been consolidating our phonemes and tricky words, in Literacy and in Reading we have been working on our fluency and expression and using strategies to decode new words.

Over the next few weeks we are working on a Scottish theme, part of this will be learning a Scots poem and performing it in class. I have sent home a copy of the poem for your child to choose which one they would like to learn, and perform. I hope you will encourage and support them to learn it.   Also as part of our Scottish theme, this week we have been exploring where on the planet you would find us and learning that we are part of the United Kingdom.  We have explored the Scottish tradition of wearing tartan and in our Art lessons we are designing our own tartan by paper weaving.

In P.E. we are starting Gymnastics and the learners really enjoyed their lesson with Ms Corrigan on Tuesday.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and tune in again for our next update.

Hi, everyone

We have had a great and busy last 2 weeks of term, and are now quite tired but very excited for the visit from Santa on Christmas Eve.

We were busy practising and polishing our Nativity Performance which was recorded.  We are so excited to share this with you. We had great fun performing this. We hope you enjoy it too.

We have had a wonderful Christmas Lunch followed by an afternoon film treat and we have watched Aladin the Pantomime online.

Thank you to the Parent Council for our exciting visit on Monday afternoon to Winter Wonderland. We were so excited to see Santa and receive our gift. We had a good boogie with the DJ and then back to school.

To finish off our Christmas festivities we had our Christmas Party.  We played loads of games and had a wee boogie too.  We sang Jingle Bells and to our surprise Santa came to visit us as well.  What an exciting time we have had.

Below is  a selection of our Christmas festivities.

P1/2  and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Below is a selection of photos which shows what we have been up to in class since we have shared our Snapshot jotters with you.

We were delighted with all your positive comments.  The children were so excited to share these with you.

We have been continuing to sequence and order numbers to 100. and P1’s have been counting and writing numbers to 30.

In literacy we have been reading  the story Harris the Hero and developing our ‘Find it’ strategy to answer question about the text. We have also been using the text and characters to develop writing descriptions about the characters.

In IDL we have been exploring living things and life cycles and now starting to explore the features of the different seasons.

We created a lovely garland of poppies using collage techniques in art for Remembrance Day.

We enjoyed Children In Need Day and had fun throughout the day, with a variety of activities.
