Primary 1a worked together to discuss what was important to them to feel safe, happy and to learn in school and created their own class charter around these ideas. These skills and the rights that they have recognised will help them in the classroom and the wider school community.

Excitement in Primary 2 today as the children discovered one of our stick insects has hatched and was moving around the net. Just a little bit over a centimetre, it was welcomed into the class with squeals of delight. Still a few more to hatch so eager eyes are watching.

Also the first of our cucamelon seedlings have popped through the soil.

Nature is an amazing teacher!

Primary 2 were learning about and drawing the life cycle of a plant.

To complete the lesson, they planted Cucamelon seeds which they will observe growing and hopefully have the opportunity to taste the fruits.

They are very excited to taste the grape sized tangy cucumber like fruits.

The children had a fantastic day at Blair Drummond Safari Park. Despite the rain, they had a great time watching the animals, going through the dinosaur trail and playing in the fort play park and pirate ship sand pit. A firm favourite was seeing Oscar the sea lion perform his tricks.

Thank you to our adult helpers for their support and to the children for being so well behaved.

A great day for everyone!

Primary 2 were very enthusiastically when their multi-sport coaches from City of Glasgow College had prepared a variety of circuits to enable them to try different activities.

They were able to hula hoop, play rugby, football, basketball and hurdles.

Primary 2 were learning about Ramadan. They were fortunate enough to have some of the children willing to share their own and their families experiences of Ramadan  and talked enthusiastically about the preparations and celebrations in their faith.

Primary 2 have been learning a variety of sports skills.

In the first week they were developing their football skills and in the second week they have been learning basketball skills.

Not only have they learned important skills for these sports but they have worked as a team to support and encourage each other while having great fun!

Primary 2 had the opportunity to meet, learn about and hold some exotic animals when Zoolab came to visit the class. They met a Giant African Snail, Hissing Cockroaches, a Corn Snake, a Tarantula and a Tree Frog. They were excited and fascinated by the creatures and hope that they will come again with other animals.

We have been learning about how Chinese New Year is celebrated. We learned about the race the animals had to help create the calendar. 2024 is the year of the dragon and we discovered that some of us were born in the year of the monkey, the rooster and the dog.

Primary 2 have been learning about the life of Stone Age people. They learned about what they ate, how they hunted and how they lived. They did an amazing job creating their own Stone Age houses.
