Primary 5, 5/6, 6, 7a and 7b are Winter Ready!
In anticipation for any snowy days, the children at Second Level are well-prepared for any closures! All children have (or will be given in the very near future) their Glow log ons, a home learning activity grid and a selection of websites you may wish your child to complete at home. The activities vary in challenge and offer a range of different approaches to the curriculum.
Paper copies of log ons, the activity grid and websites can be found in your children’s homework diaries. Or you can click here!

Have fun!

We have been busy practising our St Andrews assembly for next week. Daryl
Today we listened to the story of The Dot in golden time and had to create something beautiful from a dot just like Vashti did in the story. Ian
We have been learning about how mistakes make us feel and how they help us learn. We wrote sayings like “turn your frown upside down and keep your hopes up.” Sophie
Next week will be mistakes week! We are going to note any mistakes we make and what we have learnt from them. Nikkita
We have been working on chronological reports this week. Beth.K
Next week is happiness week. We are having a competition to see who can do the best anti bullying poster. The winning poster will go in the main entrance. Ellie
Learning German in P5/6 & P6
This week P5/6 and P6 started learning German together.
We discussed why German might be an important language to learn.
“It’s important to learn German as you may have a German friend in the furture.” Gabriel Kaubrys.
“If you get a job and someone speaks German then you can translate for them.” Alfie Brown.
“If you decide to visit Germany then you might want to try and speak the language.” Niomi Kelly
Most of us found it quite tricky but enjoyed learning a new language.
“I found it ok but some of the words were quite hard.” Andrew Hunter.
“I found it tricky because I am not used to it.” Johnathan Noer.
“I found easier because my dad learnt German when he was little so I sometimes hear some of the words.” Ceana Gray.
“I enjoyed learning German.” Abbie Black.
“It enjoyed it. It was lots of fun.” Katie Ford.
P6 have been busy again!
There was an explorer who came in with a dog called Haggis and they are walking up to the top of Scotland into the mountains to train to go to Antarctica to raise money for animal rescue charities. Jaime
We also had the Scottish SPCA come in to teach us about how farms treat their animals and about animal cruelty. At the end we played a game which was great fun! Euan
We had a two minute silence on Wednesday to remember everyone who fought for our country. Katie
We learnt about growth and fixed mindsets. A growth mindset is when you try to improve and don’t give up. A fixed mindset is when you give up easily or think you are the best that you can be. We watched a funny video on Ormie the Pig who had a growth mindset. Watch this on You Tube at home! Nikita
It’s almost the holidays!
Well, Primary 6 and 7B certainly did themselves proud this morning as we said our sad but happy goodbyes to Mrs Oliver and Mrs Learmonth. The ladies have been at the school for a combined total of 32 years! We sang our special version of ‘You will retire!’ to the tune ‘You will survive!’.
We also sang Mrs Lough’s favourite song as she is off to a new school over the river 😉 in Glasgow. We sang James Bay’s ‘Hold Back the River’.
Primary 6 Learning Update
What a busy week!
Rhys enjoyed watching the Harvest assembly performed by P5. It brought back memories from when he did it!
Kian loved practising and performing the anti-bullying drama his group planned and presented. We are all looking forward to watching the film of each group and those of Primary 5/6.
Shayne liked watching what the P5s got up to at Lowport. It looked like they had great fun just like Shayne did when he went.
Amy enjoyed the assembly today learning who won the House Cup – well done Almond and Leving. Come on Lanthorn and Camelot!!!!!
Sophie really enjoyed working in her group for drama – she says it was really fun!
Thanks for visiting Primary 6!
Nikita loved the Open Morning as she had fun both doing the gym activity and performing in the choir.
Harry felt it was almost like a mini sports day!
Jaime particularly liked racing her grandad in the shuttle runs – Jaime won!
Amy loved singing in the choir and especially that she helped Mrs Stewart to shed a wee tear!
Beth Mc found it fun when her mum joined in with her on the step-ups- she might have sore legs tomorrow though!
Daryl liked listening to the choir but wondered when the whole school would get to hear them.
We were pleased with all the comments from the kind parents who took time out to visit us and watch us learn.
Bonjour! Guten tag!
Salut!
Today was European Languages Day. We celebrated it in style by using our mapping skills to identify countries, flags and capital cities.
We also had fun singing ‘Let it go’ but in 26 languages. Can you name them all?
What a wonderful day for a wig walk!
P6 did themselves proud today looking at all the different wigs and crazy heads we saw this morning! This was all in aid of Jak’s Den, a charity very close to our hearts.
