This week we have been revising addition and subtraction in numeracy and the boys and girls have been using their place value to solve calculations. Also this week we did our writing assessment on setting description and we described Santa’s Workshop. The boys and girls were able to use their word banks to help them build their sentences. We have also started paired reading with primary six boys and girls which the class are really enjoying. In reading we learned about sentence structure and why connectives are important when writing. One more week till the christmas holidays.

This week have been doing missing numbers in maths and number patterns and the boys and girls have been doing great. We also described Santa’s workshop in our setting description writing. The boys and girls have also done lots of art to decorate our classroom door for Christmas. Remember that this week is our Christmas Fair so please come along.

In class this week finished up with multiplication and division and everyone is getting much better at it. We also had book club where we got a lovely bag of new books and some toys for us to use at home. We then ended the week of by going to the panto and putting up our Christmas tree. The boys and girls in P2 were so well behaved that a lady came and said she was very impressed with our behaviour and the boys and girls did great.

In art we started making a solar system mobile craft which we will finish next week. We started learning about division and strategies we can use to help us. We continued with our setting description by describing the fish tank from Finding Nemo. The boys and girls also got to take part in the book swap for Book week Scotland. They also got to enjoy a special assembly about the upcoming Common Wealth Games. Next week we will continue with setting description and comprehension in reading.

This week the boys and girls worked hard on their setting description writing using adjectives to describe a setting from Toy Story. We also learned some new strategies to help us with multiplication. In IDL we learned about the planets, their order and facts about them. We did skip counting in 5s, 10s and 2s. The boys and girls also learned why we have a two minute silence to remember all those who have fought in wars across the world.

Two years ago, our school community came together to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts countless lives in different ways, and the Beatson continues to make an incredible difference through its compassionate care and unwavering support.

The Beatson Cancer Charity works alongside the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre – one of the leading cancer care facilities in the UK – providing vital funding for specialist staff, innovative research, and improved patient wellbeing. From emotional support and complementary therapies to cutting-edge treatments and clinical excellence, the charity ensures that patients and their families receive the best possible care at every stage of their journey.

We are proud to continue supporting the Beatson and the life-changing work they do for so many across Scotland.

This year, some of our amazing staff will be taking part in the Glasgow Santa Dash 2025 with Beatson Cancer Charity on Sunday the 7th December at Glasgow Green. Please help us to raise our fundraising target by donating to our Just Giving fundraising page. Click on the link below to access –

Yesterday was our Harvest Showcase and it was absolutely amazing. The boys and girls did a great job and did a brilliant performance of which we are all very proud. Now its time to get back to our normal routine.

In art we painted scarecrow faces and made fruit and vegetables using tissue paper and coloured pencils. This week in writing we were learning how to write a recount by pretending to be one of the three little pigs and retelling the story of the Big Bad Wolf. We also practised copying accurately from the board. In maths we were learning 2 digit addition using tens and ones.

We will also be doing a Food collection for our Bothy as part of our harvest festival celebrations and I would be grateful if you could send in any canned foods you might be able to spare. Thank You.

P2 are in full swing with their show practise. Their lines have been glued into their homework jotters. If they could look these over each night that would be great. They are also learning 3 songs which can be found on youtube. It would be wonderful if they could practise these a couple of times a week.

The song titles are as follows –  Harvest time

Autumn Leaves

Cauliflower Fluffy
