BOOK WEEK SCOTLAND 2024
We are looking forward to celebrating Book Week Scotland next week in school. We have lots of exciting activities planned in school. Click on the link below to find out more –
P5a our week
Last week we were working on some new things like our topic on the solar system as well as reciprocal reading. In science p5 we’re doing some experiments to see if we could create enough carbon dioxide bubbles to build enough pressure in our bottles to erupt- a small scale space rocket! Some of our experiments worked better than others so we will need to try again with some adjustments. p5 have also been working incredibly hard on their multiplication in maths.
P2B superheroes
This week P2B have been exploring energy and character description through our interdisciplinary learning theme of super heroes. The pupils designed their own hero and wrote a description of their character. They also experimented with moving paper with static electricity and later in class discovered how we generate electricity from green energy sources. Next week we will be making simple circuits to create light

Primary 2a
It’s been a very busy first few weeks of term 2 for primary 2a. We began in full Harvest Festival mode, with show rehearsals, dancing, singing and learning our lines. Along with primary 2b they delivered an amazing showcase, we were all very proud of how the children done showing bravery and enthusiasm to perform. Thank you again to everyone who came along to support on the day.
The following week was Halloween week where there was loads of excitement for the disco and trick or treating for those who celebrate. We begun the week with an amazing workshop with Donald from Wildside Nature who taught us all about Halloween themed animals.
Last week the excitement continued with Bonfire night. The class made some incredible firework scratch art to celebrate it.
Along with these exciting occasions primary 2a have done the Room on the Broom and Superhero topics in the playroom and the classroom and done amazing while learning division.
P3a Update
Last week for Halloween we had began making 3D haunted houses. They were tricky to make and so took us a little longer than we thought so began this week finishing them.
In maths we continued on with measuring this time using a metre stick and we were also trying to estimate lengths.
We began our block of tennis this week in PE and starting by getting use to holding and controlling a raquet.
Lastly we began our new topic which is the Body Systems. We made our own skeleton which we will label next week.
P1b Numeracy
This week primary 1b have worked incredibly hard in numeracy. We enjoyed exploring addition using concrete materials and practised writing sums 
using the mathematical symbols + and =.
P1b weekly update
This week in P1b we 
started our new IDL topic of Superheroes in the playroom. The children took part in a range of activities including role play, mask designing, exploring kinetic electricity and building a new superhero headquarters.
P1C weekly update
Primary 1C have had another wonderful week. We started our new IDL topic of Superheroes in the playroom. The children took part in a range of activities including role play, mask designing, exploring kinetic electricity and building a new superhero headquarters.
In literacy the children completed some wonderful writing using onomatopoeia to describe fireworks, and we learned the c and k sounds, and practised CVC words using the 5 finger spelling strategy. Take a look at our fabulous letter formation and magnetic board work.
In maths we are learning all about 2D shapes, and numeracy the children have worked very hard on number work and addition. We have had another great week packed with new learning and as always I am incredibly proud of the progress all the children are making. Well done P1c!
