Month: April 2025

Primary 1

When celebrating Earth Day recently, the pupils discussed how they could look after our planet. Some suggestions included turning off water, switching off lights, not dropping litter and not wasting food. They watched short films all about recycling and listened to the ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ song. This all linked with our previous Eco learning.

To celebrate, they made Earth Day hats and created seed bombs which they planted in our P1a flower bed. They talked about what our seeds needed to help them grow – light, water, air and warmth. Hopefully there will be a colourful display in the months ahead  and a chance to attract pollinators and  minibeasts – our new IDL theme.

Celebrating success – Sports in P7

With our new ‘Sports’ conext, it seems fitting to post about our success across a variety of sports in Primary 7. Here are some of our P7 learners celebrating some amazing achievements in swimming, motocross, ballet, skiing and dance. The pupils chose to learn about Sports as our final context this term; we are researching sporting history, equipment, how sports have evolved and gained popularity. All of us are working on a personal project this term and we can’t wait to share our learning when we complete them. Some  pupils  have  already  brought  in some  of  their  sporting  equipment  to  share!  

Cookie Recipe

Good morning!

I’ve had lots of requests for the delicious cookie recipe we used in our hubs session – so I’ve attached it below. The only rule is that if you make them at home you need to bring me one for snack!

Democracy P6

As part of our Social Studies context P6 have been investigating the features of an election and the work of our representatives at both a local and national level. They are developing their understanding of how a democracy works and are discussing what the rights and responsibilities of citizens in Scotland are. To assist us with our learning we have been fortunate enough to have a visit from the Scottish Parliament this week with the UK Parliament visiting us in May. We had our own manifestos, elections and  of course we had a speaker and Presiding Officer too so everyone came to order!
