Primary 6 enjoyed their visit from Motherwell Heritage Centre specialists. They learned so much about medieval dress and weapons. They participated well in role-play situations, appreciating the artefacts from that time in history.
The topic was concluded when P6 visited Stirling Castle and The Wallace Monument where they were able to see the actual battle site of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn. Staff and pupils braved the strong winds to appreciate the brilliant views.

This is being provided by ‘respectme’, Scotland’s anti-bullying service, to help parents explore the potential dangers and challenges with the online world that our children have access to.
It will cover:
Places are limited so please return the letter ASAP if you would like to be involved.

🦋 Primary 1 had a super afternoon learning about how butterflies collect nectar! Butterflies have long tube like mouths, just like a straw (called a proboscis). The children had great fun pretending to be butterflies collecting nectar from their flower cups using their straws! 🦋👏🏻
One of our butterflies even gave us a little demonstration, to which one of our children announced “The butterfly is using its proboscis”! What clever butterflies and children we have in our class! 😊

Primary 1 had a super morning on Thursday for ‘Outdoor Classroom Day’! First they had fun using chalk to creatively display the common words they have been learning 🖍, then they went on a ‘Shape Hunt’ around the school grounds. 🔺🔷⚫️👏🏻.
We had a fantastic afternoon exploring the nearby woods on our mini beast hunt too! 🐌🐜🕷🐝

Primary 7/6 have had a great day focussing on learning outdoors! We have used the outdoor space around our school to enhance our learning in Maths, Literacy and Problem Solving. Here are some examples of what we got up to!
Den Building
Working together to problem solve.
Success!!
Check out our learning conversations here! —> IMG_0106
Maths:
Compass Points and Directions
Using a compass app on the iPads the boys and girls worked as partners to create a set of directions that would navigate others around the playground. The recorded these using the notes app on the iPads too!
Literacy: Imaginative Writing
We used our playground environment as inspiration for our latest piece of imaginative writing…Honey I Shrunk Primary 7/6!
In pairs the children investigated the school grounds and used iPads to take pictures of settings that they could use in their stories. They used the notes app to insert the pictures and note down ideas and then shared these with their peers. We are hoping to share some examples of our finished work with you soon!
