Primary 2 enjoyed using our new resource today ‘Mighty Writer’. It is so motivating and the children were completely engaged, using the symbols to create some superb stories together. We are looking forward to using this regularly to support learners in out class.
Today we were so happy to be taught by P7 girls, Paige and Alisha. They taught us how to do British Sign Language to the song “This Is Me”.
The link to the video we used is https://youtu.be/5jNwvJ-vZU0
Chloe said, ” It was really good to do”
Amirah said, “It was amazing!”
Emily said, “I didn’t know any sign language until today”
Rosie said, “It was my first time doing sign language and I enjoyed it”
Poppy said, “It was cool to be able to sing in sign language!”
Primary 4 are on a mission to Mars. We have been exploring our solar system and undertaking some serious scientific research to make sure that we stay safe. It is a dangerous mission so we have been writing to astronaut Tim Peake to reassure him that we are prepared for the severe storms on Mars and the high levels of radiation. We have also had to consider the orbits of Earth and Mars to make our journey time take the minimum 150 days. Pupils have been interviewing for crew to join the mission and we are meeting together soon to discuss what we need to pack. This is Primary 4’s most daring mission so far and we will be in touch soon… possibly from the red planet. Over and out.
We have been playing with 2 digit and 3 digit numbers and focusing on their value. Here are some of the activities we played in the sunshine!
Come and join us for a free breakfast during the school holidays. All aged children welcome. Bring an adult along to sign you in and let us know about any allergies. Come and enjoy Cereal, Toast and fruit, to start your day. Hope to see you on Monday 😀
Some of the children from P1,P2 and the woods have enjoyed doing our after school yoga with Mrs Barclay and Mrs Lynn. We have been learning some yoga positions and learning to relax.

Through the charity Canine Concern Scotland, we were able to work with Bill Macdonald and his dog Veda. Veda is a well-trained, friendly dog who has been coming to Dedridge to listen to boys and girls read. This has been to help grow children’s confidence in reading out loud. So we can help support Canine Concern I have organised to fundraise at parent’s night. There will be a reading area in the dining hall where children can relax on a bean bag and read. There will also be dog treat bags on sale, some free activities and games at a small cost. Please help to support our school and Canine Scotland by bringing a small donation along with you.
Thank you,
Louise Sellar
