Thank you to all our parents and carers that came along to our Modern Languages Assembly. The children did a fantastic job sharing their learning of languages including Polish, Latvian, Scots, Norn, Arabic and French.

2018_01_17 General snow activities
2018_01_17 P3.4 Snow activities
Winter Ready Activity P2/3
Below are some activities to complete in the event of the school being closed. Of course, if the school stays open there is nothing to stop you from completing these activities after school! I’m sure you will have lots of fun learning with these activities!
Hoop it up! Try with an adult or a friend to see who can keep their hula hoop going round for the longest time. It’s much more tricky when you have lots of layers on for the cold weather!
Cool critters! Use any natural materials that you can find to decorate your very own snow creatures! Make sure you take a picture of your fabulous sculptures to share with your class when you come back!

Exciting visitor in P2/3
There has been lots of excitement with the return of last year’s favourite visitor – Elfie! He has already been getting up to mischief by knocking over tables and chairs. The children have been given the special job of showing him how to behave properly! Who knows what will happen next…
P2/3 Book Week
Wow, what a great time P2/3 had during book week! Not only did we have special visits from 3 authors but P2/3 became authors and illustrators themselves. The children created a sequel to one of their favourite stories ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’. P1/2 children were invited along to the book launch of ‘The Day the Crayons were Happy’.
The children were also kept very busy organising and running the book swap stall which proved to be very popular!
They also had great fun at the CAPER and P6/7 reading cafe getting all cosied up with some hot chocolate and marshmallows!
Welcome P2/3!
It is so nice to have our P2/3 children back and what a fantastic start to the year they have had! This year we have decided that we are going to be real life superheroes and protect our rights in class. We have been focusing on the right to play, the right to be protected and the right to an education. The children came up with their own rules for in class and have all signed their names to show they agree to and understand the rules. Our primary 3 children have been setting a very good example to the new primary 2s joining our class and have given them a very warm welcome! Last year P3 won class of the year and earned a tuck shop, ice cream and even a photo booth opportunity! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the year ahead and we are more than ready to earn our dojos again!
P3/4 NYCOS singing games workshop
Today the children in Primary 3/4 enjoyed a visit from the National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS) who came in to take a singing games workshop. The children were learning through the songs and games all about beat, rhythm and pitch. Here are some pictures of us having fun!
It’s a MYSTERY!
It’s been an interesting few days for ASD1. At the Assembly on Friday 6th January we were given a mystery box and told we were not allowed to open it. Miss Carson had to carry it with her at break and lunchtime and we had to LOOK, THINK and WONDER about the box.
We were able to see that the box was tall and narrow, it didn’t weigh much and something moved inside when we held it. We thought it might be a soft toy or sand or a few other things. We wrote down everything we thought about what was inside.
Finally, the moment arrived and we opened our box today (Wednesday 11th January) to find a very funny umbrella. It is made of wood and paper. We will be doing some activities about our umbrella over the next few days but the first things we wanted to do was dress up as the person who owns it.
Who do you think we are?
