We had a lovely time last week carrying out more topic work. We have started reading ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark” and we have created some fabulous pieces of writing based on the book. We have displayed our work for everyone to see.
We also made the most of the sunshine last week and had great fun doing our P.E. outside.

It has been another week of hard work in primary 6b this week!
We have began our new novels that we cannot wait to tear into!
In PE this week, we played basketball which we greatly enjoyed.
We also created some beautiful Picasso inspired artwork that we are very proud of!
Lastly, we took a trip to primary 3 again this week and took part in paired reading as part of our responsibilities in the upper school, which we love!

Here we are, taking part in Number Talks! We are using the sign to let the teacher know we have an answer for the problem. this is when we explore numbers and talk through our strategies for solving the number problems.
We know what capital letters match to the small sounds. We are learning to use these sounds in our reading and writing and we are learning to use the capital letters at the start of a sentence.
Look at how clever we are – we an make words with the sounds that we know. We can sound them out, blend them and read them.
Everyone has their House badge on and this lets everyone in the school know which house we belong to. We can win points when we work hard and behave well. Then, the winning house gets an extra play on Friday.
In maths, we are learning to put out pairs patterns for numbers up to 10. When we do this, we can see which numbers are odd and which are even. It also helps us recognise the numbers very quickly.
You can see, that we are also using money to put out amounts. Sometimes we use 1p and sometimes we use £1 coins.
Look at these wonderful line drawings of us! These will be added to our busy street wall display. Can you spot who is who???
Would you like to live in a house like this? Everyone designed a house for our Busy Street. We used different materials and they all look amazing!
Lots of learning going on in Primary 1 again this week. Let’s see what we learn next week.

On Friday, we had another successful Stay and Read session with our parents and carers.
In the computer room, we are all learning to log into the computers by ourselves. We are getting quite good at it already. Also, we are learning to use the mouse and move the cursor around the screen to point to the right things on the desktop. Splosh is a useful way for us to improve our mouse skills.
In PE on Friday’s we are taking part in some Active Health activiteis and work our way around some circuits to keep fit and learn new skills.
Look out for our new art on the walls soon! Here we are exploring colour and learning to sue the paintbrush carefully to make different shapes for our picture….what will it be? 
We had some prayer time in the Oratory this wee again. It is a quiet and peaceful place to pray as a class. Everyone loves the Oratory.
Let’s hope you enjoyed reading about some of the things we have been doing this week. What will our blog bring next week…..

We have had a great first few weeks back at school. We are already raring to go and hard at work! We have had a jam packed few weeks, in which, we attended mass in our first week back and also, for St. Bartholomew’s Day.
We have began learning about our topic on the Scottish Parliament and in maths we have been learning about the order of operations.
In STEM this week we have been creating our own houses/shelters with the challenge that they have to withstand a storm. Our models lasted well against our own man-made storm for which we used a hair dryer. Here are our models.
Furthermore, we have absolutely loved our paired reading time with primary three. Now that we are in primary six we will have the responsibility of reading with the younger children each week to encourage and be role models to them, how exciting!
Lastly, we are super proud of all of our pupils of the week so far. Well done to you all!

Welcome to our class blog! We have been busy the past few weeks settling in to our new classroom and learning new things.
Our buddies have been down to visit us to help us with our reading. We love buddy time and we hope our buddies love it too.
Our parents and careers have been joining us on Friday mornings for Stay and Read sessions just after the morning bell. Reading is so important to help us with our learning!
We have also been enjoying time in the play area, exploring and having fun with our friends.

We have had a busy start to Primary 3! So far we have got stuck into our numeracy and literacy work and have started to explore our topic. Our topic this term is ‘Scottish Wildlife’ and we have enjoyed researching information to share with our peers. We found so many interesting videos, pictures and facts so far. During our Art lesson today we created animals from different habitats around the world. We are looking forward to finding out more fun facts about these animals and comparing their habitats.
Last week we were learning all about Vincent Van Gogh and looked closely at his Starry Night painting. We talked about the techniques he used to paint and we even created our own Starry Night! We are so pleased with our paintings and cannot wait to display these for the whole school to see!

P4 have had another busy week!
In maths we have been comparing numbers using > < and =. We enjoyed playing a crocodile comparing game on the smartboard where we could all help one another.
We are also learning about 2D shapes and during ICT time we were applying different skills of inserting, creating and formatting different shapes on PowerPoint to make our own 2D shape monsters- it was very fun!
We completed our all about me silhouettes and they are now on display outside out class. We think they look fabulous!
Finally we enjoyed spending time in the library for accelerated reading.

Welcome to our first blog as primary sevens! We have loved being back at school and we know the work is getting trickier but we are growing in maturity each day and everyone comments on how fabulous we are!
Our first big challenge this year was the house captain elections. The standard of manifestos was excellent and Mrs MacFarlane said they were the best she had ever heard. Primary sixes voted along with us and our new house captains are delighted with their new roles!
One of the many brilliant things about primary seven is that we have our own common room!
Each week we look forward to our time in our common room, socialising, playing games and trying out arts and crafts.
Our RE and art have a lovely link this term and we have been making our own prayer rocks. This was so enjoyable that we decided to make nature rocks too that we will hide in nature for others to find. How exciting!
We have had great fun during our STEM lessons this term. We loved when a pr6 boy came in with his Lego robot and amazed us all when he used coding to make the robot move with an iPad!
Watch this space for more excitement from pr 7!

Primary 6a have had a busy start to the term. We have enjoyed reading all our new novels and have been working hard on our tasks on them. We really enjoyed our taught writing lesson this week which focused on narrative writing. Our stories were very imaginative and we were really proud of them.
Also, we have been very lucky to have Verny in our class for the past few weeks, a handmade robot, made out of Lego. We have enjoyed learning about how he is built and programmed and he has been a great asset to our class!
