We were very lucky this week to have received an early visit from Santa and his little helpers. The boys and girls from Primary 1 and Primary 3 took a trip to the Grotto, they even got a present. They are all definitely on his ‘good list’ 😀.

We went to visit Santa 🎅🏻
On Friday 8th December Primary 1 were invited to Darnley Court Care Home to visit Santa, the reindeer and his special helpers. All of the boys and girls had a great afternoon. They sat in Santas sleigh, met Santa, got a present and they even got to meet 2 of his reindeer.
As a special treat for writing such wonderful Christmas letters they all got a lovely cup of hot chocolate to warm themselves up – it was yummy!
Primary 5 visited the Glasgow Science Centre to take part in the Santa’s Sleigh Challenge!
Primary 5 visited the Science Centre today to take part in the Santa’s Sleigh Challenge! We also got to wonder around the centre. So have a look at what we got up to!

Our Christmas Fair was held on Friday 1st December and again was a huge success. We would like to thank everyone who helped on the day. Lots of wonderful handmade crafts were on sale as well as some competitions – congratulations to everyone who won one of our competitions.
P7 Swimming Success
We would just like to say a big ‘Well Done’ to all of our P7 swimmers on their swimming achievements!
Time for an update…P1
Sorry we have been so quiet recently – a lot has been happening over the last few weeks: we had visitors from Hillpark Secondary – asking us about our favourite toys and using that information to make toys for us.
2d shape
The boys and girls have been learning to name and identify 2d shapes. They enjoyed copying shape pictures and using marshmallows and cocktail sticks to mKe their own 2d shapes – helping to understand the terms ‘corners’ and ‘sides’.
Road Safety Week
During road safety week the boys and girls learned where and how to cross the road safely.
Class Dojo
Lots of points being earned through our ‘Class Dojo’. Look at some of the children who have reached 50 points so far and received a certificate Home! Well done 😀
Maths & Literacy
STEM
During our science activities we have been learning about forces. This week we were making our own boats and will be using them to investigate floating and sinking but also finding different ways to make the boat move across the water.
Parent Council Minutes – August and October 2017
Please see attached minutes for Parent Council for August and October.
Primary 1 – Children In Need and Outdoor Learning
Today was an extra special day – we were raising money for children in need. The boys and girls came dressed in spots and took part in lots of lovely spot-tacular activities during the day. We finished our day by sharing what we had learned about Children In Need and what happens to the money we donated. The children enjoyed a teddy bears picnic.
Outdoor Learning
We have been engaging in a lot of outdoor learning opportunities and today the children were learning about where different animals live. They were learning that some animals sleep during the day and others sleep at night and were introduced to the words – nocturnal and habitat. The children enjoyed going outside to collect sticks, stones and leaves so that they can have a go at creating some habitats next week.
Primary 1
Welcome to our Blog update this week, we hope you enjoy it 🙂
ICT
In ICT this week the children were much more confident at using their mouse to point and click. With a partner they successfully opened up the internet page and selected a programme from the ‘favourites’ section.
STEM
In STEM this week we were learning all about different forces. The children were becoming familiar with and confident with the words – push and pull and how to use them in the correct context. They had great fun exploring how toys moved and how we use the forces of ‘push’ and ‘pull’ when playing games – tug of war, climbing the wall, basket ball and playing with a ball.
Maths
We started the week off by having a number hunt outside and the boys and girls were great number detectives and managed to hunt out the numbers 1-10 and they used their clipboard to record the numbers they found.
This week we were learning to add. We explored the language of addition, familiarised ourselves with the symbols and came to the understanding that when we add we are creating a bigger number. The children did this by counting to see how many objects there were ‘altogether’.
Language
This week the children were introduced to some words – some words we can sound out and some are tricky and we just need to try and learn them.
The Enchanted Forest
The boys and girls used the talking tub to decide what they wanted to learn about for their new topic – ‘The Enchanted Forest’.
The picked an item out of the box that interested them and told us what they knew already and what they wanted to learn about next.
