Mrs Simpson had an easy day in primary 1/2! First we had a clever primary 7 come and teach the children about Scotland from a book she had written herself. After lunch we had a fantastic presentation from a confident young lady in primary 4. Then some super stars from our own class shared their own Scotland books! Mrs Spowart and I will soon be out of a job!

This confident young lady captivated her p1/2 audience today. They learned lots of new facts.

This Primary 7 lassie let us read her book about Scotland this morning. We thought it was pure dead brilliant !

These clever boys have written their own books about Scotland.

We have loved learning about highland cows this week. We have used lots of different resources to gather evidence about them. P1/2 have written reports and created these amazing pieces of art!

Highland Cows

We cooried in oor But “n” Ben and showed the wee lassie oor braw pictures!

We hope “The Wee Lassie” illustrator Kate McLelland likes our versions of a Highland cow.

P.3/4 have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes and their properties.

Primary 7 used the iPads and non-fiction texts to research the life of Queen Victoria. We used our research to write very informative reports about the second longest reigning queen of Great Britain.

P.3/4 had a great time at their Burns Supper! We tried Scottish food and finished with a Scottish dance!

P7 had a tasty Burns Supper to celebrate Robert Burns’ Day. We had haggis, neeps, tatties, shortbread, tablet and even some (diet) irn-bru… It was delicious!

P7 have been practising their spelling rule words using lots of fun spelling tasks. Our favourites this week were Glitter Spelling  (it was very messy!), Spelling Hangman and ICT whiteboard spelling.

This term P5 are learning all about the world around us in our Great Outdoors topic. We have been learning all about the life cycle of plants and how important they are to all living species. We can’t wait to share what we have been learning at our class assembly.
