The boys and girls in the nursery are really enjoying learning lots of nursery rhymes. They have been busy exploring rhythm and listening to words that sound the same. Here they are acting out the rhyme ‘Miss Polly had a Dolly’. It was great fun!
Ready, Steady Cook!
We are proud to launch our class cooking challenge, Ready, Steady Cook!
Every class have been provided with potatoes and onions grown in our school garden. The challenge is to design, prepare, cook and serve a dish using the garden produce, ingredients from our dry store and a maximum of two other ingredients.
Classes will be judged on creativity, taste and presentation!
What do you think your class should cook?
Active Literacy in P1
Here you can see some children reading in pairs whilst other children are working had to try to write words from their book… Without peeking!
P1a My School Topic
We worked in groups to make a map of our classroom. We are excited about making a floor map of our school later in the week.
Primary Six In The Garden
Primary six took advantage of our recent good weather and got working to maintain our school gardens. Pupils worked hard litter picking, raking, weeding and preparing our vegetable beds for planting.
Primary Six were also busy rehearsing for our school show ‘Is this the way to Amarillo?’ and I think that we are almost there!
We have been set a challenge to choose a recipe that includes onions and potatoes grown in our own school garden. We will be judged on flavour, presentation and originality! Pupils have been researching and found a huge variety of recipes to choose from. We now need to decide which will beat the competition!

Well done to this superstar for being the first pupil to win Glen! This boy always works very hard and is great at following the school’s Golden Rules. P1b loved hearing all about your weekend with Glen at the fun fair. Thank you for putting such a lot of effort into Glen’s journal. Keep up the good work!
