Good morning.
It was lovely welcoming the children back last week after the October holiday. We hope that you all had a fun and restful time.
Here is the homework grid for the next 2 weeks.
Homework 26.10.20
Homework will now be given out on a Monday with 2 weeks to complete it. This should hopefully give you more flexibility and time to do all the tasks. Reading books will be continue to be issued on a weekly basis. Please can you ensure that this book is brought to school every day so that we can read in class. The reading book is to be handed in on a Friday so that it can quarantine for 72 hours before a new book comes out on the Monday.
In phonics we learnt the sounds d and e last week and will be learning c and k this coming week. We are concentrating on writing these letters neatly and thinking of words containing the sound. Thank you for all your help with this skill.
In maths we are focusing on 2D and 3D shapes. Last week we learnt about a square, circle, rectangle and triangle. The children learnt to identify each of these 2D shapes, spot the shapes in everyday objects and describe them clearly to a friend. This week we are looking at 3D shapes. Why don’t you go for a shape hunt around your house or garden looking for 2D and 3D shapes.
A reminder that PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. It is now becoming colder and so please ensure that your child is prepared with warm clothing and sensible shoes.
There will be a PSA run Halloween party in school this Friday. Please remember to send in the permission slip with the correct money as soon as possible.
Thank you for all your support. As always, if you have any questions please contact the school and we will be happy to help.
Miss Christy and Miss Daun
P2 /1 update 26th October 2020
Hi everyone,
We hope you had a lovely October break. It was so lovely to see the children back in school last week.
Homework
Thank you for your support with the home learning. Attached are the new home learning grids and we’ll now issue home learning every two weeks. Please could the children take school reading books into school every day. We will issue new reading books weekly on a Monday.
Topic
We started our new topic which based on ‘The owl who was afraid of the dark’ by Jill Tomlinson. The children have been thinking about how we can use our play corner for our new topic. We are looking forward to turning it into something new where we can use our imaginations in play.
Maths
In maths we were learning about 2D shape and the children loved identifying the shapes in our playground when we went on a shape hunt. The primary 2s have been focusing on using the appropriate language (vertices and edges) when describing the shapes and extended their learning to cover pentagons, hexagons and octagons. Next week we will use our understanding of 2d shapes when learning about 3d objects. We’ll be identifying 3d objects in our classroom and in the playground and will be making and describing 3d objects such as cones, cubes, spheres and cuboids. The P2s will be encouraged to describe the objects using the correct mathematical language – vertices, edges and faces.
Literacy
We’re going to be working on our listening skills this week with a few listening games and activities.
Reading: Thanks for all the support you are giving at home by reading with your child. We will be starting to look at the reading skill of prediction over the next couple of weeks so when reading anything at home it would be great if you could ask your child what they think will happen next and why.
Writing: We are going to be learning about the persuasive genre of writing and will use our new topic, ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’ as a stimulus for our writing. As well as learning about how to write persuasively, the primary 1s will continue to gain confidence at writing some of the letters they know and the primary 2s will be focusing on using capital letters and full stops in their writing.
Dates / important information
- Don’t forget that Friday is our Halloween Dress Down Day and we will be having a little party in class with Halloween activities.
- Outdoor PE is still on Tuesday and Wednesday so please come dressed for PE on those days.
- Please remember a water bottle every day.
We hope you have a great week!
Mrs Muir and Mrs Steel.
Primary 3 Archaeologists
Primary 6 23.10.20
Hi there,
Hope you all had a lovely half term break and are back into the swing of things once again.
In Maths this week we have been looking at Compass points and calculating various angle turns using a compass. We have also been looking at our addition strategies in Number Talks and looking at the quickest way we can get to the answer.
In Writing we have been peer assessing our work using a variety of success criteria. We wrote a descriptive piece and checked for use of similes, metaphors and alliteration. There were some excellent examples and we were very pleased with P6’s efforts.
In RME we talked about the Golden Rule: ‘Treat others how you would like to be treated’ and came up with our very own. There were some lovely ones such as: Don’t hurt, help! Don’t sing by yourself, sing with others!, Build bridges not walls! It has led to some good discussions about current news events too and how we can all be respectful to others.
In PE we have moved on to some HIIT Training. We had a little taster of this yesterday and it was a little wet underfoot so please can you send children in with gloves, old gloves, as we will be doing the odd burpee or mountain climber which will require hands on the ground! This will be on a Thursday.
Next week all children need to bring in their inventions by Friday so that they can be quarantined for the following week’s showcase to each other and their partner class. Homework on Teams will also resume from Monday.
Have a lovely weekend!
Mrs Smith, Ms Matheson & Mrs Jamieson
Primary 3 23.10.20
We hope you all had a lovely rest during the October holidays. It is great to see everyone back at school and raring to go this term. We have lots of exciting things planned.
Our Ancient Egypt topic has well and truly started this week. We came back to school with a letter from the museum explaining that because of current restrictions, they would not be able to visit us to show us Egyptian artifacts. Because of this, they are going to meet us virtually and then deliver the objects to us to be quarantined and then displayed in our class.
We accepted a challenge to turn part of our class into a museum to display the artifacts, so this week, the challenge began. We now have a part built pyramid and are excited to finish it.
We learned about the job of an archaeologist today and Miss Dig and Professor W came to lead us on an archaeological dig. There were traps, obstacles and rivers to cross. Armed with our brushes, we brushed away sand to reveal Egyptian artifacts. It was very exciting!
The children thoroughly enjoyed it. This is what they had to say, “I liked going outside to dig.” “I like finding the stuff because it was very interesting and tremendous to look at.” “I liked writing my story about the dig and I also like finding the treasures and displaying them.” “I liked finding the treasure and I liked writing the stories too.” “I like to put my imagination into everything, the dig and the story.”
This Monday, homework will be handed out again. From this date, there will always be two weeks to complete the homework tasks. Homework will be added to the blog for your reference.
There will be a newsletter to follow this week as well, so please keep an eye out for this to inform you of what we plan to do this term.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Smith and Mr Williamson
Primary 4 23.10.20
Hello everyone
It was lovely to welcome back the Primary 4 children back to school this week. We have got off to a flying start so far!
At the end of last term we finished our topic “Resilience through film”. The children wrote fantastic film reviews on either “Zootropolis”, “Moana” or “Inside Out” and showed great understandings of the plot, characters and setting of each film. The children were also able to discuss how the main characters in each of the films showed resilience. This week the children chose their new topic completely by themselves. We voted on our favourites and our new topic is… Animals! The children are very excited to begin this topic. We will be learning through Science, Technology and Art. We are looking forward to seeing how this topic unfolds.
Mr Woodward and I are looking forward to hearing the children’s class talks next week that they have been working on at home. We will begin to hear the children’s talks on Monday but will be listening to them throughout the week when each child is ready. There is more information on your child’s Teams page about this.
In Numeracy this week we have introduced the 6 times table to the children. They have made an excellent start on learning the stations of the 6 times table with a partner and also through listening to a very catchy song! We are sure the children will be 6 times table experts in no time!
Homework will resume on Teams on Monday. If you need paper copies of any of the activities then please let your child’s teacher know.
PE days will remain a Monday and a Friday each week for the next few weeks.
Thank you for all your support. Have a lovely weekend.

In-Service Day Reminder
Just a reminder that Tuesday, 20 October is an in-service day and children will not be in school. Primary School pupils resume on Wednesday, 21 October.
Online Parent/Teacher Interviews
We are happy to report that the online Parent/Teacher interviews went ahead last week with very few problems. A big thank you to those parents/carers who elected to have the interview in this way and were, to a certain extent, our guinea-pigs for a system we have never tried before. Suffice to say, the few problems we did encounter are surmountable and if we are required to repeat the process in the future, we will be much more confident that it will both work and meet our needs. If you had an online interview scheduled, but some technical issue prevented you from joining, please let us know through an email to the school office and we will try to remedy it for next time. However, I think we can mark this one down as a success.
Primary 5 9.10.20
Hello,
In Reading the children have been completing book reviews about the novel There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom. It has been interesting reading the children’s views about the novel and what happened to Bradley.
In Writing this week, the class were working on creative stories. It was lovely to hear all the wonderful ideas from the children; we have lots of learners with big imaginations! The children have also been learning more about adjectives and similes. We were very impressed with the words they were coming up with. Fabulous vocabulary from many.
Mrs Cuthbertson spoke to the children about Brass lessons. The whole class appear to want to learn to play! You will have now received information about how to sign up for Brass and/or Chanter lessons so hopefully we have some budding musicians in the class.
In Maths the children have been continuing to work on reading time in five minute intervals and introduced time duration. This was challenging for many so any help you can give with this at home would be appreciated. Practice makes perfect!
Homework on TEAMS this week is- a spelling activity, a time/shape quiz and researching about bag pipes. Some children were able to complete the activities online and some used their homework jotter. This jotter can be returned to school each week or they can take a picture of their work and upload that to the photo channel in their Team. Please just complete the activities at a time most convenient for you and your family.
Parent Consultations were very different this year. We enjoyed meeting and speaking to you this week through skype and luckily there were not too many technical issues. It was also lovely to speak to many of you on the phone. Thank you for your continued support at this strange and challenging time.
Reminders
- The children are on holiday from Monday 12th October to Tuesday 20th We look forward to welcoming the children back on Wednesday 21st October.
Have a lovely holiday.

This week the pupils have really been pushing themselves hard and they have been finishing this part of the term with a great finish! They have been working on their topic and finishing off the ‘Brain Boards’ inspired by Inside Out. They have created some great representations of their feelings and thinking and they have really pushed their creativity. We have watched Inside Out as part of our topic and have had some great discussions about the themes of the film in terms of emotions and resilience. We also used the films in our writing this week when writing film reviews and they have received glowing reviews from the pupils!
In maths we have been continuing to develop our division skills and they have looked at using times tables and arrays and adapting strategies to different numbers. It has been great to see the growing confidence across the classes with numeracy and we are proud of how hard the pupils have been challenging themselves. They have also been challenging themselves well in reading as we have looked at skimming and scanning and inference skills. The pupils have been whizzing through texts to find the information and have had some lively discussions about what answers might be when inferring, realising that there isn’t always one possible answer.
We are so proud and impressed with the pupils and they have done so well this term. Coming back after lockdown and getting back to some sense of normality was no easy task and the enthusiasm and hard work of the pupils has made everything so much easier. We’d also like to thank all our amazing parents who have been so instrumental in helping the pupils to really hit the ground running and who have worked so hard this term to ensure the success of the pupils in returning to school.
Have a fantastic Easter Holiday and we look forward to seeing you after your well-deserved break!
Thank you,
Miss Clark and Mr Woodward
Primary 1 News
What a fantastic start to the week! This week in primary 1 we are learning the sounds ‘r’ and ‘m’. The children explore these sounds through our Jolly Phonics program and are encouraged to think of words that begin with these sounds. It would be helpful if you could think of some words at home that begin with these sounds too. This week the children have been looking at picture clues to predict what is going to happen in their story. They are encouraged to read their common words at the beginning of each reading lesson for example ‘Biff, Chip, mum, a, and the’. Please ensure that all reading books are brought into school each day in the reading polly pocket.
This week in maths the children are learning all about capacity. They were encouraged to estimate which container would hold the most water and used vocabulary such as ‘full’, ‘empty’ and ‘half full’. The children loved guessing and counting out how many cups of water would fit inside each container.
We continue to explore our topic of caring, kindness and sharing. Today we looked at the story ‘Sharing a Shell’ by Julia Donaldson and discussed the important messages in the story. The children were asked to give an example of a time where they shared something and then they created their own shells. They used mixed materials including gems, bobbles, lollipop sticks and pencils to create their artwork. We are so proud of their work!
A gentle reminder that PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure that your child comes into school on these days with a PE kit and a school jumper.
Please find the Primary 1 Homework attached:
Thank you for your continued support,

P2/1 update wc 5.10.20
It’s the start of another exciting week in primary 2 / 1 and of course our last week before the holidays. The children have worked so hard over the past few weeks we’re sure they will be ready for the break! We start back at school on Wednesday 21st October.
Homework
Here are the homework grids for this week. New books will be given out on Monday. Please could you return the reading book in its plastic folder to school every day. We will collect in the books every Friday. It’s really important that we have all the books in by Friday so that we can put them in quarantine before other reading groups use them.
Maths
Last week we had a lot of fun doing measurement in maths – the primary 1s were measuring in the playground using their feet while the primary 2s were using metre sticks to measure themselves and also things in the classroom. This week in maths we will be covering capacity. The primary 1s will be sorting objects according to how much liquid they think they can hold and then will be checking to see if they are right. The primary 2s will be estimating and measuring using litres.
Literacy
Primary 1
Our new sounds this week are ‘r’ and ‘m’. It would be really helpful if you could help your child think of words beginning with these letters. We have started to practise ‘blending’ some of the sounds we know, for example to read words like ‘cat’ or ‘sip’. We will continue to do this, adding in our new sounds. In reading, we are continuing to get to know the characters in our Biff, Chip and Kipper books and to use the pictures to help us understand the story.
Primary 2
The sound we are learning about this week is ‘wh’. In reading we are continuing to build our confidence when reading unfamiliar words by using the sounds we know and clues from the text to help us. In writing we have been using a ‘describing bubble’ to help us add more detail when describing things. The bubble reminds us to use areas such as texture, size, shape, number and colour to make our writing even more interesting.
Science
It’s really turning autumnal now and we’re going to get out and about this week to look at the signs of Autumn using our senses of sight, hearing and touch.
PE/ Outdoor activities
Outdoor PE continues to be on a Tuesday (with Mrs Muir) and a Wednesday (with Mrs Ferguson). Thank you so much for ensuring your child is dressed in PE kit on those days. We’re also trying to get outside for learning at other times as much as we can which the children are really enjoying.
Thanks for all your support. Have a great week!
Mrs Muir and Mrs Steel.
Parent/Teacher Interviews
Each parent/carer who signed up for a parent/teacher interview via Skype for Business should now have received a Groupcall containing the link to that meeting. As this is the first time we have tried anything like this on such a scale, there is the chance everything will not go according to plan. In that scenario, we would ask for your patience and understanding.
If you wil be using this system for an interview, please bear the following in mind:
Please log in to the meeting via the link you have been sent no earlier than 5 minutes before your appointment start time.
When asked to input your name, please input the name of your child for easy identification by the teacher.
If you are accessing the meeting using a phone or a tablet, please downlowd the ‘Skype’ app from your app store beforehand.
We are on a tight schedule, so please do not be offended if your meeting is terminated 10 minutes after your appointment start time.
Hopefully, we will have enough bandwidth in school for 15 simultaneous meetings and the interviews will proceed without a hitch. In that case, thank you for your cooperation. If not … we may have to think again.
Primary 2 Homework and Update 5.10.20
Hello Everyone,
Please find attached this week’s homework with starred activities and optional activities.
Homework Sheet – Monday 5th October
Last week in Maths, we continued exploring the properties of 3d shapes and learned about their vertices, faces and edges. The children had lots of hands-on opportunities to build models using cubes, cuboids, spheres, pyramids, cones and cylinders.
In Health and Wellbeing we continued to explore the Shanarri indicators for wellbeing through our lovely characters.
We worked with Included Isabella and the children designed a playpark which would be suitable for all. They came up with super ideas including ramps for wheelchair users, adapted swings and roundabouts.
This week in Maths we will continue to practise counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and will be exploring shape and colour patterns.
In Writing we have introduced a describing bubble to children which encourages them to add detail by using adjectives to describe size, colour, shape, texture etc.
This week we look forward to speaking to many of you at our online parent’s evening on Wednesday or Thursday.
Reminders:
-P2 PE days are Wednesday and Thursday and where possible this will continue to be outdoors so please can your child wear appropriate clothing and shoes to school.
-We plan to use the forest adjacent to the school for further outdoor learning after the October holidays and you will have received a permission form with dates – please can you return this to school as soon as possible.
-October holidays –
All break – Friday, 9 October 2020
Pupils resume – Wednesday, 21 October 2020

Primary 7
Our first broadcast of CPN ( Carmondean Primary News) went out this week . This is Primary 7s way of communicating to the rest of the school community during these unprecented times. We are in the midst of creating our own reporting studio , have created our own CPN jingle and are hoping to add some animation to our report intro next week .
We are continuing to calculate area of compound shapes and have examined the properties of rhombus. Did you know that an eleven sided polygon can be called a hendecagon?
Once again primary 7 have inspired us with their mature discussions around our class novel Wonder. This week we have discussed in depth the actions of characters, relating them to real life circumstances and how we would have perhaps dealt with certain situations.
REMINDERS –
PE – Outdoor Kit Mondays and Thursdays
Homework – spelling words will be given on Mondays with spelling test being carried out in school on Fridays.
All pupils now have a homework jotter to use at home. This should NOT be brought to school unless specifically asked for by teachers. Pupils can use their jotters to do their spelling activities or any other piece of homework rather than typing via teams. Photos of any work within jotters can be uploaded.
Numeracy – If a specific quiz has not been posted on Teams , we expect pupils to practise their timestables using the methods and games shown in class.
Topic Homework – Due Monday 26th th October .
Thank for your continued support.
Mrs Wylie and Miss Morris
Primary 4 2/10/20
Primary 4 have been working superbly this week and we are so proud of the effort they’ve been putting in! We have continued to work on our John Pule artwork and they are looking fabulous. They have been creating beautiful artwork in the style of Moana and used this art to celebrate their achievements. They have taken on board the art style very well and have added their own creativity and flair and we can’t wait to see how they will look when they are all completed! In our topic we also watched Zootropolis with a view to writing our own film reviews next week. The pupils took in all the themes of resilience and trying your hardest and have learned all about character, setting and plot.
In our writing we were looking at ‘All About Me’ using a variety of description. Pupils were able to describe themselves and their hobbies and they have done a great job of painting a picture with their words! The length and quality of writing is fantastic and the pupils took to the task with enthusiasm.
In maths we have been looking at dividing and problem solving. Pupils have found some of the tasks a bit tricky and we have seen great resilience and co-operation as the pupils have been determined and have completed the challenges very well. We have also been looking at weight using grams and kilograms and converting between the two.
Reminders:
Outdoor PE: Mondays and Fridays.
Homework: Spelling and Maths due Friday 2/10/20. Homework to be handed out on Monday through Teams or through paper copies. If your child requires a paper version of the homework please let us know.
Thank you for your continued hard work and support,
Miss Clark and Mr Woodward
Primary 5 2.10.20
Hello to everyone,
In Reading we have finished reading our novel ‘There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom’. The children have become very much invested in the life of Bradley and there were a few tears at the end with how much Bradley had changed. The children wrote fabulous letters to their best friends and we are hoping they will be able to deliver these to them.
In PE Tennis lessons with Mrs Ferguson the children are becoming very proficient with the tennis racquet. The balls are now heading the right direction! We do have a few budding Andy Murray’s and Johanna Konta’s!
In Art the children have created pictures of Bradley using the Pop Art technique. This involved using different thickness of lines, dots and primary colours. The finished pictures look fantastic.
Homework started this week on TEAMS. The children had a spelling activity, a symmetry quiz and were learning about Article 3 of their Rights. Some children were able to complete the activities online. Some children would prefer to complete them on paper. With this in mind we will be sending home a jotter for the children to complete their homework in if they wish. This jotter can be returned to school each week or they can take a picture of their work and upload that to the photo channel in their Team.
Miss Herd will be teaching Mrs Gilmour’s class on a Monday and Tuesday from now on. She visited us this week and got to meet the children.
We are looking forward to seeing and speaking with you next week through Skype during Parent Consultations. This is our first time using Skype so please be patient if we run in to difficulties. Fingers crossed for a smooth running of the evening.
Reminders
- Outdoor PE- Tuesday and Thursday
Please ensure the children have the correct kit for going outdoors- trainers, trackies/joggers, t-shirt and fleece/hoodie. They can come to school wearing their PE kit but a school jumper must be worn during the day. They can then change into their outdoor jumper when we go outside.
- The children have chosen a book to read for enjoyment in class and it would be appreciated if you could continue to encourage your child to read for enjoyment at home.
- Parent Consultations Wednesday and Thursday
Thank you for your continued support.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Gilmour, Miss Munro and Mrs Muir
Primary 6 2.10.20
Primary 6 have been working very hard this week on their descriptive writing skills with a particular focus on similes. If you could use three similes to describe yourself what would they be? Ask other members of the family too! Our Numeracy focus has been on rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100 and 1000 and in Maths we have been successfully drawing our own angles using a protractor. We have been learning the alphabet in French whilst consolidating our knowledge of French greetings and we have begun to take a look at our very own Scottish inventors as part of our new Topic focus.
Our boys and girls have been doing a fantastic job developing their fitness and stamina through our couch to 5k app. We will have one more week doing this before we move on to our Hiit training programme in the style of Joe Wicks. All of this will continue to take place outside where the Scottish weather will allow us so we ask you to make sure your child is appropriately dressed for this especially as temperatures have dropped significantly of late.
Homework started this week and we have been ironing out any problems with navigating your way around TEAMS as well as accessing it on various devices at home. Next week will continue in the same format with a Maths, reading and spelling focus. If there are any problems accessing these assignments do let us know as soon as possible.
Next week we will be having our first ‘virtual’ parent conferences. We are looking forward to speaking with you on line. You will receive information from our school office regarding the booking of appointments and how to attend each meeting through Skype for business. These will take place on Wednesday 7th October and Thursday 8th October.
Have a lovely weekend!
Mrs Smith, Mrs Jamieson & Ms Matheson
