Primary 7a 2024 – 2025

All P2 pupils should now have received a letter regarding our Fairtrade Coffee Morning. If you have not received this letter please write a note in your child’s communication diary and we will get another to you, or see below:

This will be held in the gym hall this Friday  6th March at 9:45am – 10:30am.  Tea, Coffee and some Fairtrade snacks will be provided by P2, however to ensure a successful event we would be very grateful for any donations of biscuits or cakes.

Please return the tear of slip on the letter indicating if you wish to attend and how many.

Many Thanks,

Miss McFlynn and Miss Cathcart

As part of our science we are investigating solids, liquids and gases and focussing on water in these 3 states. Primary 2 have enjoyed investigating how water can change from one state to another and are experts in explaining the state it changes from and the state it changes to using words like ‘melting, freezing and boiling’. Here are some pictures of our class taking part in an experiment to investigate how ice can melt to water. We also decided that hot water melted the ice quicker than salt.

New stations have been set up within the class and the children have enjoyed exploring the different resources that have been put out. We now have a ‘Creation Station’, ‘Literacy Station’, ‘Writing Station’, ‘Numeracy Station’, ‘Construction Station’ and ‘Digital Station’ which the children are free to visit whenever possible.

Here are some pictures of the children exploring the different resources…

P2a enjoyed decorating and designing their kilts to wear at our Scots Assembly whilst singing ‘Donald Where’s Your Troosers’. 

Apologies about the delay on the copy of ‘Donald where yer troosers’ lyrics. These will be given out to pupils tomorrow! In the meantime pupils can be practicing with the lyrics from our previous blog post.

Our whole school burns celebration has been changed to Friday 24th January. If possible could pupils bring in a pair of sunglasses by Thursday this week for their performance. Also, if anyone has any blow up/toy guitars, microphones or any instruments and you wouldn’t mind letting P2 borrow them for their performance on Friday could you please send them into school by Thursday.

Many thanks,

Miss McFlynn and Miss Cathcart 🙂

On Wednesday 29th January the whole school will be participating in a ‘Burns Assembly’. On this day every class will be performing something Scottish to the rest of the school as part of the celebration.

Primary 2 will be performing ‘Donald Where’s Yer Troosers?’. Pupils will be given many opportunities to practice the song in school over the next coming weeks, however, it would be also be very helpful if you could practice the lyrics to this song with your child at home as well.  Pupils will be given out an A4 sheet with the lyrics on it by the end of the week. Below is a copy and a link to the song on youtube.

I’ve just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I’m not very big and I’m awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where’s your troosers

[Chorus:]
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets
In my kilt, I’ll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where’s your troosers

A lassie took me to a ball

And it was slippery in the hall
And I was feared that I would fall
For I had nae on my troosers

[Repeat Chorus]
Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around
Saying, Donald, where are your trousers

[Repeat Chorus]
To wear the kilt is my delight
It is not wrong I know it’s right
The Highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me in the trousers

[Repeat Chorus]
The lassies want me every one
Well, let them catch me if they can
You canna take the breaks
If a Highland man
And I don’t wear the troosers

[Repeat Chorus]

Primary 2a were very impressed with stories written by P5.

Apologies for the last minute request.

If anyone has any empty plastic bottles could they please be brought into school for tomorrow. P2 are going to be making rain gagues to measure rainfall.

Thanks, Miss Cathcart 🙂
