Last week we welcomed our new class of Spanish Students from our feeder nurseries. We looked at the Spanish Flag and we made our very own Spanish Flags. We even had a go at saying hello and goodbye in Spanish.
Muy Bien!
Valentines Disco
The pupil council worked really hard to plan and organise this years Valentines Disco.
Rachel and Jay from P7 went shopping in Asda to get supplies.
Here are some pictures from the Disco.
Judo
This morning we had a very special visitor in primary 2. Jack taught us some Judo 🥋. He also taught us to say some words in Japanese as Judo comes from Japan 🇯🇵 .
Shae – I was excited to help Jack with some Judo moves.
Shae – It felt like I was doing a cartwheel.
Jackson – Judo is super fun.
An introduction to Judo
Today we had a quick introduction to Judo from Jack. We learned how to sit like a Judo player and responded to some Japanese commands. We had a go at some simple moves and ended by playing monkey tig.
Samuel- I liked playing monkey tig, it was so fun.
Aleksander- I liked the mat and we had no socks on.
Arturo- I liked making a pillow for my partner.
P7 and P1 paired gym
Today the p7 and p1 class paired up for some ‘buddy gym.’ We worked together to set up a few different stations- we had a gymnastics station, football station, throwing station and tennis station. The p7s were very good at demonstrating and supporting the p1s, and the p1s worked so well and listened carefully to their helpers.
P7 have asked if we can do this again. We will work in groups to plan really efficient lessons and then will teach these to our buddies.
Chinese Dragon
Take a look at our beautiful Chinese Dragon! Primary 2/3 and 3/4 worked together to create this masterpiece. This artwork will be submitted to the Inspired Exhibition at the Tannahill centre. We are all so proud of it!

Robert Burns
Last week was all about Robert Burns. We learned lots about his life through our reading comprehension task and also through independent research. We used this information to create fantastic biographies about his life. Later in the week, we used Robert Burns’ poems to inspire us with our own poem writing. We rounded off our week by reciting some Burns poems and songs. To hear our performances, check out our SeeSaw profile!
Scottish Open Morning
Today we had our Scottish Open Morning and it was a huge success. We invited out families into our classroom and it was a fantastic turn out. We visited a range of Scottish themed work stations such as tartan making and Scottish food tasting. We then moved into the hall and performed our Scottish dance and songs. The feedback was excellent.

Robert Burns Day
To celebrate Robert Burns Day, Primary 3/4 have been learning traditional Scottish dances. They performed these for Primary 1. Primary 1 loved watching the performance and couldn’t believe how the boys and girls could remember all the steps! Primary 1 then performed ‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny Aff the Bus.’ We all had a fantastic time!
Lacey said that she liked when she crossed her arms over.
Oliver liked when the boys and girls went around in a circle.
Rachel liked when we went into the circle.
