schools past and present | St Nicholas Primary School

We have had a busy week learning lots of new things in primary 2.

‘We have learned all about Rabbie Burns. He was born in Alloway’ – Mara

‘We designed kilts for Robert Burns’ – Chloe

We have learned new Scot word, aye means yes, fitbaw means football and Auld Reekie is Edinburgh’– Joshua

‘I have learned that the long hand on a clock is the minute hand and the short hand is the hour hand.’- Lena S

‘We talked about our emotions and feelings. We have made a calm spot in the classrooms.’ – Jay

‘We were playing hopscotch, clapping games, knots and crosses and kick the can. People have been playing these games for a long time and that is what our topic is’– Olivia and Lena P

‘We have been learning ou/ ow words this week’ – Finn

‘We listen to Address tae a Haggis and To a Mouse. These are poems written by Robert Burns.’- Sophie

P2 are very excited to share their new topic with you. We are going to learn about ‘Schools Past and Present’. We worked on our plan together. We are going to learn about what it was like being a pupil in the past compared to being a pupil today. This includes subjects taught, games played, transport to school, school lunches, tools used in school and pupil voice.

We need help from our mums, dads, grans and grandads! Could you please send in a photograph of when you were in primary school? (Whether or not you were a St. Nicholas pupil!)

We are also looking for any parents who would like to come into school and talk to us about what it was like! The children will have lots of questions for you. If you can, please let us know.

We had lots of fun this week looking at old photographs of our school and of previous teachers and pupils.
