My favourite part of p5a was when we had the tea party because some music came on then everyone started to dance,we had to make cupcakes and sit with your friends when you ate the cupcake

We have had a fantastic p5 year together and are looking back on some of our achievements.
I am very proud of you all and wish you all the best in P6.

Mrs Lloyd

We were delighted to receive our prize book from storyteller Allison Galbraith, it is full of mythical stories related to nature.

We had a visit from the Cornet, the lass and previous Cornets and lasses. Well done to Struan for winning the horseshoe for correctly answering that this is the Beltane’s 125th anniversary.

We enjoyed Beltane lunch on Thursday. It was great to be back together and sing for all the special guests. Thank you Mrs Clyde and the team for the delicious food!

We finished writing our imaginative stories about the perilous journey of a water droplet. We made our stories into illustrated books.

In maths we used various strategies to solve the mystery of the missing snack! It involved number operations, using data in tables and finding equivalent fractions.

Our spelling was revision of the -ear. -air and -ure patterns.

Wider achievements- Struan earned this medal from a gymnastics competition. His favourite event is the vault. Cara wore this jacket when she took part in the Beltane horse riding. She is pleased to pin the 2022 ribbon on. Well done to both of you!

We have had a very busy but fun Beltane week in P6.

We have had our very own flappy horse race. We also enjoyed our own fancy dress competition today.

The class have really enjoyed the community events organised by the Beltane Committee this week.

We are looking forward to Beltane Saturday tomorrow.

This week we have been continuing our Leavers’ Assembly preparations and we look forward to sharing our work with the school and our parents on Tuesday 28th June.

On Tuesday, we enjoyed a range of activities in Sports Day. We saw lots of teamwork and encouragement from the P7s. A big thank you to Mrs Edge for all of her hard work in organising such a successful event!

We spent Wednesday and Thursday up at the High School, where we experienced a variety of new subjects and met our new form and practical classes. Here are some of our highlights below:

A big thank you to all of the staff who made this visit so welcoming and successful!

We really enjoyed sports day on Tuesday and did our best. It was a chance to work with others from p4-7 from our houses, and to try different activities.

In class we spent time playing board games together.

In writing we are writing an imaginative story based on the water cycle. Our main character, a water droplet, goes on its journey and encounters some challenges! To be continued…

Wider achievements come from Beth and Cara as they got new blue belts in karate. This is up a level from green. Congratulations!

Last month  Vivienne took part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, running 2K! Here she is with her medal. Well done!

Push, push, push little seed………

We learned how to use bandages in First Aid. Thank you so much to Miss Muir and her assistant for helping us to do this.

We still need a little practice………..

Hanging around at the chrysalis stage.

Preparing to fly ………..

Wow, our butterflies turned into huge painted lady varieties.

All of the caterpillars survived and developed into the most beautiful butterflies.

We released  them at our Queen’s Jubilee afternoon !  What a lovely way to end our celebrations !
