A Day in the Capital

June is one of the busiest months in the calendar for our oldest pupils, and as part of their ‘Rights of the Child’ topic, P7 visited the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood today.

After a guided tour and interactive workshop, the class took part in a spot of impromptu hillwalking on Arthur’s Seat, making the most of Scotland’s now-famous beautiful summer weather.

A Roaring Great Topic!

On Thursday, P2/3 provided an incredible showcase of their topic learning by turning our dining hall into a dinosaur museum!  The boys and girls in the class have absolutely loved learning about dinosaurs this term, and their learning has stomped its way across the whole curriculum.

Parents and guests were able to enjoy being led around the museum by the on-site tour guides, and were given the opportunity to observe and take part in some of the following exhibits:

  • Fossil finder
  • Shadow puppets
  • Pin the Tail on the Dino
  • Gift shop
  • Dino Bite Café
  • Gallery
  • 3D egg display

Experiences like this bring learning to life for our pupils, and this is certainly a topic they will remember for many years to come.  On top of some wonderful learning, the pupils were able to raise a marvellous £114.76 for Glasgow Children’s Hospital through the sale of hand-made souvenirs in the Gift Shop.

Topictastic Assembly!

P1S put on a wonderful Assembly this morning, all about their class topic: The Tobermory Cat.

The children spoke, sang and danced, while giving their audience the message that everyone is special, just the way they are!

It was incredible to see how far the children have come since starting school last August, and it was clear that they had really enjoyed their learning.  The class were confident and happy, and were a credit to their teacher and too our school, as well as to their parents of course!

Well done P1 Stirling, we all really enjoyed ourselves this morning and we certainly think that you are every bit as special as The Tobermory Cat!

Assembly with a Twist!

Following their recent topic about ‘Scientists and Inventors,’ P4/5 and Miss Allan decided to host an Assembly with a twist!  Parents and guests were invited along to take part in a terrific interactive Science and Technology exhibition, where the scientists and inventors of the future showcased their recent learning.

The pupils interacted confidently with their guests, and were able to explain and demonstrate a whole selection of wonders, much to the delight of their visitors!

This was a marvellous Assembly P4/5 and a great way to show off how hard you’ve been working!

P2’s Wonderful Weather Assembly!

P2 put on a terrific show for our pupils, staff and parents this morning, sharing their learning from their recent Weather topic.

The class shared a huge amount of information about what they had learned during their topic and surprised their audience with how many long and complicated words they knew and understood!  During the Assembly, the boys and girls also confidently performed some wonderful songs and an excellent poem.

Following the Assembly the parents and guests were given a chance to view some of the terrific work that the pupils had produced during their topic.  Great job Primary 2!

Awesome Assembly!

Primary 1 Edinburgh put on an absolutely superb Assembly this morning, which was all about the Tobermory Cat.  Learning about Scottish culture is a very important part of our pupils’ learning and it was  clear that our boys and girls from P1E have learned so much from their Scottish topic.

It was quite incredible to see just how confident our young people have become, so early into their lives at school.

The children’s clear speaking, confident poetry recital and tuneful singing received rave reviews from staff, pupils and parents alike!  A 10/10 performance!

We would like to say a huge well done to Primary 1 Edinburgh, Mrs Polatajko and Miss Kay for all of their hard work in putting on this terrific showcase of the pupil’s learning!
