Our Class Trip 🚌
Yesterday, we had an amazing day out at the Riverside Museum. We had a trip filled with some great activities and we learned a lot of interesting facts about not only different vehicles throughout time but also people who help us.
When we arrived, we had our snack out in the sunshine before completing a tour of the museum. We enjoyed looking at the old police car, fire engine and walking up and down the a cobbled Main Street from the past. To make it even more exciting, we were given a quiz to complete, which involved us following clues to find different Star Wars Lego figures around the museum.
We ate lunch outside as it was such a lovely day and then completed a People Who Help Us workshop which tied in perfectly with our topic. We learned about police cars, fire engines and ambulances from the past and how these vehicles/job roles have changed or stayed the same nowadays. We loved using the different equipment and fixing emergency situations with what we had learned. To finish off our day, we made our own lollipop sticks to help people safely cross the road.
It’s safe to say we were very tired on the bus back after busy day but can’t wait for our next trip!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Room 5
This week, Room 5 have been learning all about telling the time! We first discussed the different formats in which time can be read, before then creating o’clock and half past times in analogue and digital form. Take a look at our super time tellers in action…

Wednesday 19th is our Room 5 trip. Please ensure that your child is sent to school wearing their school uniform so they can be easily identified when we are out of the school.
Please also ensure that if you have not selected that your child will require a packed lunch provided by the school, that you send your child with a packed lunch (preferably in a plastic bag) . Please label this clearly.

Room 6
This week in Room 6 we have been consolidating the ‘o_e’ and ‘i_e’ sounds. We have had lots of practice doing different active spelling tasks, enjoying the word searches and making our words using wooden letters and loose parts. We have been revising Addition and Subtraction, and Miss Riley focused on Time, learning o’clock and half past. This week was British Science Week, and we were so lucky to have a visit from the STEM leaders. They helped us to create our own Lava Lamps. Next week we will be starting a new sound ‘a_e’, continuing on with time and revising Multiplication and Fractions. A big well done to Nieve, our star writer this week and to Rishaan for getting our Class Mascot home. Today the weather was really nice, so we had some Reading time outside which was really fun!
We are looking forward to our school trip on Monday 24th March to the Wind Farm, and have enjoyed learning about renewable and non-renewable energy sources and what Wind Energy can power! Pupils should come to school wearing their school jumpers/cardigans and joggers/leggings on the bottom. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
Pupil Voice:
Colton: I liked the star challenges in maths and choosing which one to do.
Louie: I liked doing Time with Miss Riley
Ari: I liked learning about Wind Energy, and I cant wait to see a Wind Turbine
Nieve: I liked learning about our common words
Willow: I liked doing Science with the STEM Leaders
Elsie: I’m excited for the school trip and my Grandad has a windfarm.
Abigail: I liked doing the Lava Lamps.
Homework is in bags, there is a Time challenge inside the folder along with their words. Books are on Bug Club.
Thank you!

Room 1
Good afternoon everyone,
This week was British Science Week. The boys and girls have really enjoyed getting to take part in a range of Science lessons.
As part of our dinosaur focus the learners in Room 1 were very keen to know, how do we know dinosaurs existed? We then had a class discussion on what evidence is and what evidence we have that dinosaurs lived on planet Earth. This led on to a discussion on fossils and how we know dinosaurs were alive because fossils have been discovered by palaeontologists. The boys and girls were all very interested in this. We then got the chance to make our very own dinosaur fossils.
When learning about our five sense, Mr MacKay took the boys and girls a senses walk round the school. They enjoyed the chance to talk to each other about the different things they could hear and see.
We have also been very lucky this week as the STEM leaders came to visit our class. They led a lesson on using different materials to create a tower. The materials they used were spaghetti and marshmallows and the boys and girls had to try and create the tallest tower they could.
Please see pictures below of our learning.
Have a great weekend

Room 26’s Wonderful Blog
Welcome to room 26’s amazing blog. We are going to tell you about this week.
Division
We have been learning about dividing so far, we have covered 2,3,4 and 5. We have also been learning about fact families. This is when you multiply and divide
Engineering Design Cycle
We have been learning about engineering, and we are entering a competition. We had to create something that related to a problem we or someone else has been through. We had to draw on a sheet of paper.
Come back next week to find out how much fun we had and what we have been up to?

Room 27
We have had such an exciting time in Room 27 over the past week, celebrating World Book Day and welcoming three visitors to speak to us about their jobs in the engineering industry. We also had the STEM Ambassadors visit on Wednesday for Science Week.
As part of our information handling topic in Maths, we conducted our own survey with classes across the school to find out their favourite genre of book. We recorded this in a table using tally marks and then created bar graphs and tables using the Chromebooks. We had great fun exploring all of the different types of chart and experimenting with the number of votes to see how that impacted on the scale. We also enjoyed creating bar charts in the playground using sticks, leaves and a mixture of other resources!
Here are some of our highlights:
AR “I loved writing my letter to The RAF to thank them for visiting us and persuading them to come back.”
KE “I enjoyed making the balloon rockets with the STEM Leaders.”
TJP “I liked doing laps in PE and the team fitness challenges.”
JD “I am enjoying running in PE.
BM “I liked dictation today.”
HT “I liked doing the ‘one dot’ drawing challenge.”
AG: “I liked learning how to say my birthday in French.”

Dinosaurs
Last week, we found special footprints on our class carpet. We said that we would keep you informed of our findings so here is a little update. After much consideration and inspection, we decided that these footprints looked like dinosaur footprints. We decided that we would like to learn more about these interesting creatures and have chosen this as our class topic.
We discussed the importance of fossils. These have helped us learn more about dinosaurs for such a long time. Yesterday we created our own dinosaur fossils using salt dough. We used flour, water and salt to create the dough and then used small dinosaur bones to create the imprint. They look fantastic!
We are really looking forward to our class trip on Thursday 13th March. Pupils should come to school wearing their school jumpers/cardigans and joggers/leggings on the bottom. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

We met an engineer asking him questions and he showed us plane engines and he was telling all about himself.
On Thursday it was World Book Day! We watched a live lesson, had extended D.E.A.R time, and done a book quiz!
In R.M.E, we learned about Maha Shivratri and why hindus celebrate it. We learned about the god Shiva and his story.
Come back next week for more amazing news.

Visitors and Trips for Room 24
March 8, 2025 by Miss Napier | 0 comments
On Monday, we had Lynn and Russell from Police Scotland cyber team visit our class. They gave us lots of useful and helpful information to do with digital technologies, how they can be helpful/harmful and also how digital evidence can be recovered. Thank you so much for visiting our school!
On Thursday, we went on our class trip to the Theatre Royal in Glasgow. This was a super trip where we were able to sit away up in the balcony to hear the acoustics of the venue, play some drama games and even make some props for our up-coming school show, Dare to Dream.
