Primary 2A

We have had a great start to the year in P2A. We love our new classroom and we have enjoyed seeing our old friends from P1. We have also enjoyed making some new friends and becoming a fantastic team as one class.

Here are a few pictures of our classroom. Article 24: We have the right to a safe and clean environment.

 

We have been settling into our new routines and we have been working hard on our learning. In Writing, we are learning to write a description. We have learned about what a description is we are learning about how to structure our writing. We are working hard to practise writing sentences with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We have been doing really well so far and we wrote a description about one of our puppets “Gerard the Giraffe” in Week 2. We are all very proud of ourselves.

Here is Rosie’s fantastic description. She worked very hard on her punctuation and wrote independently. We all peer-assess her writing  together to give her feedback.

Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.

In Numeracy, we are learning about Place Value and we have been working hard to order numbers and talk about the digits in a number. We have also started learning addition to 20. We have been learning to write the calculations and use our Numeracy Tools to make them. We love sharing our strategies. Some of us are adding even higher numbers to challenge ourselves.

Primary 1C

We are off to a flying start in Primary 1C, we have been practising our new sounds and number writing. We have been showcasing our creativity using technologies and other tools like PlayDoh to help us with our counting and 1:1 correspondence. As a class, we have loved exploring our class story ‘The Smeds and The Smoos’ by Julia Donaldson. This book and context supports kindness and sharing, a skill we are developing. Please have a look at some of our work below:

Charity Champs Part ii!

Another lovely acknowledgement for Primary 4’s efforts raising money for a local charity. Jak’s Den offers emotional, social and practical support to children and young people with cancer-related illnesses. They sent us a lovely thank you card and certificate this week – well done again, P4!

Social Stories – Session 2025/2026

I hope all of our families have a relaxing break over the summer. In the meantime, I have created some social stories so that all classes can familiarise themselves with their teacher, playground, class and entry/exit doors.

In the lead up to the schools coming back, it can be particularly helpful to go over the social story with your child to help support them with their transition back to school. I hope you find these helpful.

Take care and have a lovely summer when it comes,

Alison Hamilton (Principal Teacher)

P4 Charity Champs!

Back in Term 2, Primary 4A and 4B researched different charities and used the information to create Powerpoint presentations. Each class voted for their favourite charity and we then raised funds by selling Christmas cards around school. We recently received this certificate of thanks from one of our chosen charities, the R.N.L.I. Great effort, P4!
