Some P6 pupils have enjoyed learning how to code with Ms Hakim. They have made use of the Beebots, programs on the Ipad and Scratch. This is what they had to say:
“Getting to use the coding games on the Ipad was fun.”
“I enjoyed using Scratch.”
“It was good, really fun.”
“Scratch is good if you are someone who likes to create animations.”
“I liked using the Lightbot.”
As we head towards the end of another school term and school year, it’s great to look back at all the learning that has taken place.
In P2/3, we have enjoyed getting outside each week to the outdoor classroom – our very own Adventure Island. The children have amazing imaginations and are becoming skilled at designing, building and working as a team. It was fantastic to share our Adventure Island with parents and we really hope you had as much fun as we do!
Over the past two terms we have covered a range of topics in Maths & Numeracy including: Measurement – length, mass and capacity; Multiplication and Division – focusing on the 2, 5 and 10 times tables and Fractions. We will be learning about time between now and the end of term.
Although we have still been covering reading and spelling each week, our new literacy focus has been to use the Talk for Writing approach. The children have learned the words and actions for two stories – Rosie’s Walk and Charlie. They have had opportunities to ‘play’ out the stories before drawing their own story maps and changing parts to make a new story of their own.
Through IDL we have learned about Scotland, Global Goals, Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds and are now concentrating on planning Pilmuir’s 40th Birthday Party!
Everyday we continue to learn through play. It is great to see the children’s creative, problem solving, collaborative and thinking skills in action.

This term, instead of a whole class learning journey, we have trialled ‘Focus Children’ for a more personal report. The link to your child’s very own learning journey SWAY can be found in the Google Classroom.
We were able to welcome some of our key worker families’ children to the Hub this week as well as two brand new boys to Pilmuir – imagine your first day at a new school being with just 6 girls! Everyone has settled really well to the new ways of doing things and the teaching staff and support staff involved have had fun playing new games – some of the grown ups enjoy winning a little too much! Next week the numbers will increase and there will be teaching staff on hand to help the children access the Google classroom work that the children at home will have and there will be plenty of time for more fun and games.
