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.

 

Primary 5 took part in a human sundial experiment, marking our shadows created by the sun at different time intervals to see how the earth spins/rotates on its axis, causing the position of the sun to move and in turn our shadows to move.

 

Our Primary 7 pupils are gearing up for a fun-filled fundraising event this Friday!

For just £1, pupils can enjoy a non-uniform day—so it’s time to swap school uniforms for favourite outfits. But that’s not all! There will also be a range of exciting activities taking place at lunchtime on the pitch, including football and dancing, giving everyone a chance to get involved and have fun with friends.

It promises to be a great day so don’t forget to bring £1 and join in the fun!

 

 

Our Primary 5 pupils have recently wrapped up an exciting series of coding lessons with the Caledonian Club, and what a fantastic journey it has been!

In our final session, the class took their skills to the next level by designing and creating their very own games. This challenge encouraged everyone to explore more complex coding techniques while also using their imaginations to make each project unique. From creative sprites to inventive features, no two games were the same.

It was wonderful to see the pupils’ confidence grow as they experimented, solved problems, and brought their ideas to life through code. The enthusiasm and creativity on display made for a truly engaging final session.

The learning doesn’t stop here, though. We’ll continue developing and improving our games back in the classroom—so keep an eye out for future updates. There’s plenty more to come!

 

Primary 2 have been exploring their feelings and learning to talk about different emotions. 😊💬 They’ve been doing a fantastic job sharing how they feel!

All of our Primary 5 pupils are taking part in the Caledonian Club in partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University. The programme provides exciting opportunities for children to develop new skills and take part in a range of learning experiences.

This week, the pupils enjoyed their very first coding lesson. They were introduced to the basics of coding through fun and interactive activities, showing great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the session.

We look forward to seeing the children continue to build their coding skills over the coming weeks!
