Red Nose Day is almost upon us once more and we are asking pupils to do their bit by ‘Wearing Red From Toes to Head’ this Friday,17th March. Please try to wear your red, (even if it’s just socks!) and bring a donation if you can – all money raised will go directly to help with issues such as mental health, child poverty and homelessness. Thank you from Mrs Campbell and Primary 5

Coding Angles in P7A
As part of our pupil led exploratory work recently, the pupils had agency to create and code an angle in whatever way they wanted to. Some coded their angles on Micro:bits, some chose to create dances with angles through Code.org (Dance Party) and some used Scratch.
Take a look at some of our creations below. The coding activity helped the pupils to use their innovation skills whilst deepening their mathematic understanding surrounding angles.
We also received a very exciting delivery of Binary Bots which we are using our skills to build in class, we can’t wait until they are completed.
Learning in P2/1
P2/1 had a really great time in their Judo taster session last week. Everyone was tired out at the end of it! The pupils enjoyed working together.
We were very excited to share our learning about Scotland with our parents and carers this week. We showed our jotter work, built Scottish castles, designed a Nessie and created tartans. We thought the tasting table with the shortbread and oatcakes was the most popular activity!
Yesterday was World Book Day. We could come to school dressed as a character from a book. We liked sharing our favourite stories with our classmates. We made our own mini books and could say that a front cover needs a title, the name of the author and the name of the illustrator. Some of us copied our favourite book.
Learning In and Around The Hive
We were looking at different ways to learn some new numeracy and maths skills. We took our learning outdoors and Henry was looking for different shapes in the woods. Kayden and Aria were doing a times tables challenge. They were asking each other a times tables question then looking for the answer in the sand. Eoin was looking at different shapes, sizes, lengths and widths to make some fabulous creations in the Block play.
Glen and Alex were working on their fine and gross motor skills and enjoyed using the new outdoor toys!
World Book Day in P3a
On Friday 3rd March we got to dress up or dress down for World Book Day. We also read books and wrote some stories of our own. We then used the spinner which chose three people to read their stories out to the read of the class.
Sharing the Learning P2
Yesterday, Primary 2 shared some of their learning with their grown ups. We showed them our pre recorded assembly which they loved. Then we shared what we had learned about Scotland 🏴. Some of the activities included, designing tartan kilts, tasting shortbread and listening to Scottish music. Photos below capture some of these moments.
