As part of our Toys topic, Primary 2 have been very busy designing and making their own toys. They worked collaboratively, in groups of 3, to carefully design their toys before making them, using household junk.
What a fun (and messy) day!!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Primary 1 have been so excited with the snow!!! Unfortunately not enough snow had fallen for us to build a snowman……..so we wrote a story about one. We had lots of fabulous ideas for what our snowmen got up to. We had snowmen parties, make-up parties, flying snowmen, pirate snowmen, unicorn snowmen, lost in the forest snowmen, mountain climbing snowmen, going to the movies with snowmen…….our imaginations were really working today!!!
Space
Primary 5 have started their journey into space through their topic. We have discussed what we already know and what we would like to know. We added this to our floorbook and we can’t wait to add lots more information and facts to it as we go along.
What we know:
- space has no gravity
- Neil Armstrong was the first man on the Moon
- there are craters on the Moon
- there are 8 planets
- the Earth was made by the Big Bang.
What we want to know:
- what are the planets made of?
- more about all the planets
- can we live on Mars?
- when is the next eclipse?
- Are there more than 2 galaxies?
- How hot is the Sun?
- How big is the Sun?
- Why are there craters on the Moon?
We can’t wait to share what we learn about space with you.
Have you seen the Loch Ness Monster?
Primary 1 is collecting evidence about the Loch Ness Monster as part of their Scottish topic. We will be studying the Hamish McHaggis books by Linda Stachan and Sally J Collins. We will use the books to learn about some Scottish wildlife and landmarks as well as some traditional Scots sayings. The children found the saying ‘Haud yer wheest’ particularly amusing.
If you have any stories about Loch Ness or any Nessie sightings, please share them with your child and they can share them with their friends in class.
Gliding into the New Year.
Primary 5 would just like to wish everyone a happy New year and we hope that you all enjoyed your break over the festive period.
Primary 5 have been sharing their stories about Christmas with each other and even managed to write a recount of Christmas day.
They have also been looking forward to another fun- filled and jam packed term and have been busy creating targets for their curricular areas that they would like to work on and have already managed to get a new display up in class.
We are looking forward to sharing all of our activities and news with you over the coming term.
Epiphany
Today the Kings, or the wise men who came from the East arrive with their gifts for the new born King! Primary 1/2 found out about how they followed a star which led them to where they could find Jesus.

New Skills in Primary 2
Happy New year from Primary 2.
Today in PE we practised lots of different skills such as running, aiming, balancing, skipping and ball skills.
Lauchlan explained to us that he had never tried skipping before but with a lot of hard work and determination, by the end of the lesson he was beginning to skip independently! Well done, Lauchlan!
Primary 1 learn time
Primary one has been learning the days of the week and the months of the year. We learned about the new year and that we are in the year 2017. Our next steps will be to revise o’clock and learn half past. Time takes a lot of practise to learn so lots of opportunities will be given in school to practise time and the children can practise and use their new skills at home too. Have a look at our videos of our days of the week and months of the year songs, we are so talented in P1!
