In PE we have been playing Capture the Flag with Miss Macfarlane and with Miss Higgins we have been doing rounders.

Tuesday – On Tuesday we did more decimals in maths, literacy and HWB.

Have a great weekend!

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.

Last Week in Room 24

Last week was eventful! Here is what we did!:

Head Pupils

The new Head Pupils were announced! Enormous well done to Ollie, Briac, Kansas and Beatrice. We hope you benefit our school and help us move forward!

Art

In art, we were creating folding posters displaying the elements of art. They are: Line, Shape, Value, Form, Texture, Colour and Space. We all really enjoyed this task.

Math

During math, we have been learning different strategies to help us with all the types of questions. We were primarily focusing on word problems, but we also were learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and divison methods.

French

For French, we are booking a trip to France! (Not really). We are choosing a destination and planning a trip to said destination, including everything from plane tickets to hotel stays. We are noting everything down in our jotters and will present everything to the class when we’re finished. This has been a really fun task, and we can’t wait to do more things like this where we’ll book French cafes and learn some more French along the way!

Thank you for reading this, and stay tuned for the next one on Friday!

By Evie and Ollie!

Dribbling, passing, pivoting and shooting in basketball. We were practising these skills through races. It was fun and everyone was happy.

We were also cooking for our adults on Tuesday. The adults loved it and so did we! We even did a quiz, the high score was 10/10.

Come back next week for more activities and learning!
