Camstradden Primary School

As part of their topic on Natural Disasters, the children in P5 have been learning all about volcanoes and how they erupt.

To bring their learning to life, the children designed and created their very own paper mâché volcanoes. They enjoyed getting creative and watching their ideas take shape as they built and decorated their models.

The children also developed their procedural writing skills by writing out each step of the process. This helped them to think carefully about the order of events and use clear, precise instructions.

It was fantastic to see the children combining their science, literacy and creative skills while learning more about one of nature’s most fascinating disasters! 🌋

Our Junior Dance After-School Club has been a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to get active, learn new skills and, most importantly, have fun!

The children have been working hard to develop their dance moves, coordination and confidence while enjoying the experience of performing together as a team. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm, creativity and growing confidence each week.

We are very proud of all our young dancers and look forward to seeing them continue to shine! 💃🕺✨

Our P1 pupils have been getting creative by drawing self-portraits — pictures of themselves!

The children carefully looked at their own features and thought about the details that make each of them unique. From their hair and eyes to their facial features and expressions, they worked hard to capture their own likeness in their drawings.

It has been wonderful to see the confidence, creativity and individuality shining through in every self-portrait. Each drawing is special because it represents the unique person behind it. 💫

We are so proud of our P1 artists and their fantastic “All About Me” artwork!

As part of their Viking topic this term, Primary 5/4 researched Viking homes and settlements before designing and building their own longhouses. They used their research to inform their designs and developed their creativity and construction skills throughout the project.

Primary 3/2 combined creativity and science as they designed and created their own games using magnets. Through this hands-on activity, they explored magnetic forces while showing off their imagination, problem-solving skills, and teamwork.

A great opportunity at Donald Dewar on Fridays, starting next week 15th May. Free multi sports from 4pm to 6pm each week. Your child must be registered to attend – scan the QR code on the leaflet below. A copy of the poster will also be displayed at the front of the school.
