Woodland Group

All the class have now had the opportunity to gain their Hi5 award and have been looking after their local environment.  Hi5 Awards | Youth Scotland

During independent learning, some of the children have been learning magic tricks with playing cards.  They have also mastered Uno Flip and various card games as well as perfecting their origami skills.

HWB

In Embodied Learning, we have been practising yoga and mindfulness and learning to move our bodies in lots of different ways to help us express our feelings.  The children have all enjoyed the programme immensely and a Sway with photos and video clips is in production.

Numeracy

We have been learning to convert 12 hour to 24 hour time and reading and creating timetables.  We have also been practising mental maths and converting larger numbers from Roman Numerals.

Literacy

We have been working on exciting writing and so far we have explored how to describe a setting for a story.  We will be working on characterisation next term.  We have also been exploring parts of speech, such as verbs, nouns, adverbs and adjectives.

We look forward to welcoming Mrs Malcolm as our new teacher in January and it was good to have a Google meet with her.

Week One of the Pilmuir Primary Hub


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.
