Tennis Stars!
Four pupils from Primary 4 were selected to attend a tennis tournament with Kyla, our tennis coach. They tried their best to remember all the skills they have taught in their coaching sessions and they were great ambassadors for Camstradden!
P4 ‘We Love To Read’ challenge
So far Primary 4 have spent over 2,000 minutes at home reading! An amazing effort so far – our next milestone is 3,000 words!
All the latest from Primary 1
This term, primary one have been learning about ‘People who help us’. We have been learning about what to do when there is an emergency, different job roles and the importance of uniform. We are looking forward to visits from the fire service and police officers within the local community.
Children have been enjoying exploring our new role play police station. This links to ‘developing the young workforce’. Children have enjoyed exploring the different job roles within the police station, taking fingerprints, administrative jobs, dog handlers and community police officers. They have learned about solving conflicts, communicating with others and taking statements from witnesses.
Primary 4 Reading Challenge!
Primary 4 are taking part in a ‘We Love To Read’ challenge this term. Each child has a bookmark to log the number of minutes they spend reading for enjoyment: 10 minutes = 1 book coloured in. 100 minutes completes the bookmark. We are aiming for 10, 000 words for the whole class! Your child should have a bookmark like the one below in their bag – let’s see if we can meet our target!!
News from the P2s
Primary 2 have been learning about Scotland this term. They have looked at famous landmarks in Scotland’s major cities and have learned some interesting facts about these. We have also learned about some famous Scottish artists such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Steven Brown and have made some lovely artwork based on this.
Last week we learned about Ramadan and how this is celebrated around the world and this week we have been learning about Easter.
Hope all our families have a lovely holiday and we will see you when you return for the last term of Primary 2!

Safety Seymour Carbon Monoxide Workshops
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Initiative
Dear Parents/Carers
We are writing to let you know about a very special safety session that is coming up. We are a company called Bonanza Creative and, in collaboration with The Gas Network, we will be delivering a workshop to some classes in March called “Safety Seymour”. This interactive session uses games and drama to educate children on the dangers of carbon monoxide and how to keep themselves safe. Seymour (a superhero bear) and his safety assistant will be visiting your child’s class, on a mission to rid the world of CO poisoning but he needs help!!
There is more information about CO in the carbon monoxide booklet that you will receive on the day, or you can visit: safetyseymour.co.uk, it’s full of fun activities for your child to take part in.
We are aware that safety information can be quite alarming for children and have therefore made a great effort to package all information in a child-friendly way. That said, if your child does have any concerns about CO, please allay fears. It is highly unlikely that CO is present in your home but none the less, we must work to educate ourselves about its dangers and take precautions to keep ourselves safe, such as fitting a CO alarm.
Thank you for your time and if you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with your child’s school.
