This week in Room 5 we have been learning a new sound, ‘ay’. Some of the words we have been practicing are ‘day, away, always and today’ these are also our common words. In maths we have been learning about 2D shape, the shapes we looked at oval, circle, rectangle, square, triangle, hexagon and a pentagon. We learned about their corners and sides. We learned about Shields during our knights and castles topic, and created our own shields with designs about our favourite colour, animals, and our favourite things. We also learned the Military 2 Step during P.E to link into our scottish castles topic as that is one of the dances that they would do. We started our science topic of Plants and Animals, we learned about Biodiversity and went on a Biodiversity Hunt looking for different plants and insects. Miss O’Brien taught us how to say How are you Feeling in French this week too.

Pupil Voice:

AR: I enjoyed building castles during Play.

AT: I enjoyed drawing pictures of castles during Play.

ORM: I enjoyed making the 2D shapes outside with Chalk.

EM: I liked going on the Biodiversity hunt.

LB: I really liked playing.

XM: I enjoyed active spelling with the playdoh making the ay sound.

ST: I liked doing literacy and learning the ay sound.

LS: I enjoyed drawing pictures of the 2D shapes that we learned.

Thanks so much for reading. Well done to our first certificate winners for this school year. The new certificates are based on our school values PROUD. Today it was based on perseverance and those who got a certificate have been outstanding this week. 🙂

Our Week in Room 24

September 19, 2025 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

Science – We started learning about the Human Body this week with our new friend ‘Cal’ the skeleton. Cal is short for calcium… Get it?! We labeled all his bones using the correct words like scapula and cranium and we all found out what cartilage is. We’re calling our science topic called Blood, Bones and Bodies and we are very excited to learn more.

RME – We learned about the Golden Rule found in each of the six main world religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism and Hinduism. They all have their own version of the Golden Rule such as Islam’s ‘Wish for others what you would wish for yourself.’ This basically means be kind to each other and treat others how you would wish to be treated.

Math – This week in math, Miss Napier put up the question 4+(12÷3)²x2 on the board and we all thought ‘how on earth do we do that!?’ Then we learned about BODMAS, which is the order of operations rule. BODMAS stands for: Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. Once we knew this, it was much easier to complete the questions we had to do!

These past couple of days we have also been creating our road safety posters for South Lanarkshire’s Road Safety Calendar competition. The theme for P7 this year is safe and active journeys. We’ve come up with some great posters with catchy slogans. Fingers crossed we have a winner!

Many of us in the class prepared House Captain speeches which were filmed by Mrs Webber this week. These videos will be shown in every class and pupils will get the chance to vote for their favourite house captain candidates. We wish everyone good luck!

The Dot.

Today, as part of our writing lesson, we read the story ‘The Dot’. This is a story about a little girl who thinks that she is not very creative or artistic. During her art lesson, the character decides to just draw a dot. With some inspiration, she then draws lots of different dots, of all shapes and sizes. These are later admired by many visitors at the school art show.

Today, we all decided to create fantastic pictures using a dot. We had lots of different ideas, from ice cream cones to flowers. We think they are amazing and very creative!

On Thursday 25th September, we will be hosting our ‘Learning Showcase’. This is an opportunity for our parents/carers to come into our class and spend some time with us completing different activities. This is a child-led afternoon and I am sure you will be impressed with the skills that the children are developing. We hope you can come along from 1:40-2:40pm. Thank you :-).

Junior Road Safety Officer Day

September 16, 2025 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

We’re the new Junior Road Safety Officers and today we went to Chatelherault Country Park to take part in the JRSO Open Day.

As soon as we got there, we were given our JRSO notebooks, pens and the most important thing… Our new badges so everyone knows who we are!

We got to take part in loads of fun and interesting activities and meet important people who’ll be able to help us with our JRSO job.

We caught up with Laura from the WOW challenge we take part in and got given some extra special badges to keep! 🤩
We tried out the reaction timers to see how long it would take for a car to stop at 20mph, 30mph and 50mph in different weather conditions 🚗
We got to talk to community police officers and ask them questions. We also got to sit on their quad bikes! 👮‍♀️
We picked up lots of posters and leaflets we can display around the school and got some ideas for updating our notice board💡
We got a picture with Ziggy, the road safety mascot for nursery and P1 pupils 📸
We took lots of pictures at the selfie station too and even Miss Napier got involved! 📸

We had a great day and can’t wait to get started on planning everything for this year! Keep an eye out for upcoming details of events.
