Christmas preparations are well under way. Today the children made their own tissue paper, the first stage of something they are going to make for all the family.

Watch this space. I can guarantee that the results will be lovely.

Every week the children practise their listening skills. They have to listen VERY carefully to follow the instructions so that they know what details or colours to add.

Aren’t these super paintings inspired by the artist Paul Klee?

The children have been learning about The Water Cycle. A lot of rain falls in Scotland so we have plenty of water!

The children were put through their paces at PE. During circuit training they had two minutes to do each exercise.

Primary 3A organised a plastic free day. The girls brought snacks that needed no plastic packaging. The paper bag is recyclable and the plastic tub is washed and reused.

The children have been learning about keeping safe when they are out and about, especially when it is dark. They designed bright outfits which will show up in the dark.

A bit chilly this morning but the children (and teacher) warmed up soon enough by playing Disco Tig.

It’s crazy hair and odd socks day. We practised our spelling words by doing back writing.

The class made a beautiful poppy display. We learned that we wear poppies to remember all the soldiers who have died to make our country a better place.
