November Update\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
In November, Primary 1\/2 had a fantastic time visiting the Burns Centre to help the Ayrshire Nectar Network spread seeds. On our trip we also visited Burns Cottage and had a great time playing in the park. This month, we have also been learning about the Human body and all things Scottish with our Scottish Poems. Keep practicing for the competition in January!<\/div>\n

December Update\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
This month, Primary \u00bd have had the privilege of being visited by our helpful Elf Sparkletoes all the way from the North Pole! Sparkletoes has been watching us learn in class and even sent us a fabulous story all about how elves use magic portals to transport themselves back to the North Pole each and every night. He has watched as Primary \u00bd have made clothes using appropriate materials for their dolls house characters in the small world area, and has been amazed by the artistic skills of our class as they used paints to show their ideas of what the north pole looks like. He particularly enjoyed watching the Primary 1’s and 2’s rehearse there different roles for our school show and watching as they had great fun meeting SANTA at their Christmas Parties.
\nWishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2026,

January Update\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
It has been a busy start to the year in P1\/2! In STEM and RE, we have been building models of Noah\u2019s Ark\u00a0and testing them on the water to see what floats. We linked this to our Maths work on weight, where the children enjoyed weighing their arks to see how heavy they were before “sending them to sea.” In Literacy, we have been writing cumulative tales, learning to distinguish fact from fiction, and practicing our poetry performances\u2014specifically focusing on voice projection, facial expressions, and eye contact as well as being a quality audience for those performing.<\/div>\n

February Update<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s been a busy month of big questions and global adventures! A definite highlight was our Valentine\u2019s Party, where we celebrated friendship and kindness in our\u00a0<\/span>party clothes!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“If Love was an Action…”<\/span><\/div>\n
The children dove into a “Big Question”: How do we show love without words? Their insights were beautiful, suggesting that love looks like helping a friend who has fallen, sharing toys, or a “warm feeling in your tummy.”<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Scotland vs. The Savannah<\/span><\/div>\n
We\u2019ve also started our brand-new topic! Our little explorers are busy comparing the Scottish winter to the much warmer African Savannah, looking at the different animals and plants that thrive there.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are so proud of the children\u2019s hard work this month!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

March Update\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

Primary 1\/2: Magic, Magnets, and Mysterious Moving Objects!<\/div>\n
It has been an incredibly busy and “mysterious” few weeks in Primary 1\/2! From cozy reading sessions to mind-boggling science, the children have been diving deeply into exploring the world around them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\ud83e\ude84 World Book Day Wonders<\/div>\n
We had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day! The classroom was extra cozy as everyone arrived in their favourite pyjamas, ready to share stories and our class trip to Waterstones prompted great questions about Paddington Bear like “Where did Paddington Bear come from?” And “”How did he get from Deepest Darkest Peru to Kings Cross Station?”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the Magic Show. We watched in awe as things disappeared, reappeared, and moved in ways we couldn’t explain! The performance was so inspiring that it sparked our newest “Big Question” in class.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\ud83e\uddea The Big Question: How do objects move if we don’t touch them?<\/div>\n
Following the magic show, our budding scientists have been researching Forces during our science lessons. We are currently trying to solve the mystery: How can an object move without us touching it?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\ud83d\udcf8 See it in Action on Seesaw<\/div>\n
We are capturing all our fabulous “Eureka” moments on camera. Seesaw is the best place to see your child’s learning journey, including videos of our science experiments and photos from our pyjama day! Please log on to see all the hard work your children are doing!<\/div>\n
