P5 were so excited to see their artwork in the gallery today! We loved looking at all the amazing paintings and drawings. You should all be so proud of yourselves!

Terrific Technologies
A big well done to all of P2, P2/3 and P3 who all worked very hard to create their own hand puppets. As part of Technology lessons they learned to plan and design their products, then to follow their design to create their finished product. The pictures show a great selection of the Easter themed puppets from P2 and also the rainforest themed puppets from P2/3 and P3. Great work boys and girls.
P1a have had a busy week!
P1 have enjoyed exploring the Little Red Riding Hood story as part of a mini traditional tales topic. They were able to describe the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. During purposeful play the children made a new basket for Little Red Riding Hood and made some great wanted posters.
The children have also been working very hard in literacy and all other curricular areas!
Primary 4 Class Cafe
We have just started our Money topic for maths and have been having great fun ordering food and drink from our Glen’s Cosy Cafe menu, working out the total cost of our food and drink orders and finding the exact notes and coins needed to buy them. Some of us were using our numeracy skills and rounded up amounts such as £1.99 and £2.89 to the nearest pound to make our calculations a lot easier, remembering to take off the pennies that we added on to get the correct answer.
Jackson Pollock fun in primary 2 and 3 art class
Primary 2 and 3 art class had lots of fun this week experimenting with blowing, spraying and dripping paint to create a Jackson Pollock inspired piece of artwork. We are looking forward to seeing the end product!
Measuring fun in the sun!
Primary 3 enjoyed learning about metres and centimetres. We ventured out into our gardens and measured things in the garden that measured less than one metre. We then moved onto finding things in the garden that were longer than one metre. Well done Primary 3!
A Cake Fit for the Queen
Primary 5 have entered Poppyscotland’s competition to design a cake for The Queen’s 90th Birthday. If our design wins, it will be made into a cake for The Queen on board the Royal Yacht Britannia. The winner will also be invited to a VIP photocall and presented with their cake in June, as well as winning some arts and crafts materials for the class! Here are some of our entries…
Good luck everyone!
Primary 4 – HWB/Mathematics and Numeracy
We had great fun today doing our P.E. lessons out in the sunshine. We have just started our Athletics programme and focused today on different styles of jumps, such as long jump, standing jump and triple jump. We used our measuring skills to measure our partner’s jumps and recorded them in our maths jotters in metres and centimetres. Next time, we will estimate how far we can jump, record our jump then compare the two measurements.
Primary 4 – Language and Literacy
We have been working really hard on our group novels and reading books. We have been using a variety of reading strategies to work out the meaning of tricky words and looking at how an author uses inference to get a message across to the reader. We had great fun using the Internet to research animals linked to our books, such as wolves (The Last Wolf), African Elephants (Poppet) and owls (The Baby Owls). Then we created our own fact files, posters and character profiles.
Primary 4 – Expressions and Equations
We have been working really hard on our maths tasks linked to Expressions and Equations. We have been finding out how to use the symbols for greater than and less than when comparing two numbers. Some of the children have been learning how to solve simple equations by working out the value of a letter, such as n or x. Some examples of these equations:
n +6 = 15 so n = 9 73 – n = 49 so n = 24
We also designed our own Expressions and Equations posters to help us to remember the symbols.
