We are so proud of our Sportshall Athletics team, who competed at the East of Scotland Regional Final on Tuesday. The team gave it their all and finished 7th on the leader board. All of the pupils were a credit to the school. Well done everyone!

Working and Playing hard in and around The Hive
We have had another very busy and successful term in The Hive. The children have been working hard on their Literacy, Numeracy and social skills in a variety of different ways.
Henry enjoyed using our numicon materials to help him enhance his addition and subtraction skills.
Kayden and Aria were focusing on times tables. They asked each other a times tables question and the answer was hidden in the sand!
Eoin was very focussed when learning his tricky words, as they were hidden in a wordsearch.
Alex and Glen were developing their fine and gross motor skills by using bikes and scooters in the playground. They were learning how to balance as well as sharing and taking turns.
P3a Egyptians
We have been learning about Ancient Egyptians and drew pictures of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen. He became Pharaoh when he was eight years old and died when he was eighteen. We researched and recorded our facts on our Seesaw accounts.
P7 Residential to Lockerbie Manor
P7’s are having a great time at Lockerbie Manor for their residential – learning lots of new skills, making memories and having new experiences!
Here are some photos of their shenanigans this week 🙂

Happy Red Nose Day! P2/1 had a great time dressing in red for Comic Relief today.
This week we have been learning to use tally marks to record information. We found out about our favourite animals and favourite toys. P2 have been dividing by 2 and P1 have been learning to ‘share equally’.
We read our reading books to our reading buddies in the library and P2 learned five new Word Boost words from The Tobermory Cat by Debi Gliori.
Choral Counting in P3B
We have been doing a choral count almost every day. We take pictures and put them on our Numeracy Wall. We like to spot number patterns and we write them beside the choral count.
We like to change the numbers each time we do it. On this one, we were counting in 4’s. Sometimes, the people that are really confident find harder patterns. Miss Marra would say the first number and then we would say the second, then it keeps going for our choral count.

Egyptian Learning in P3a
This week we have been learning about what jewellery was worn by Ancient Egyptians. We found out that both men and women wore necklaces, bracelets and earrings. We started to create our own Ancient Egyptian necklaces.
Literacy in P3B
We have been taking part in stations this week to help us read and write “ou” words. We enjoyed our learning activities and could talk about how they help us to remember how to read and write our words.
We used play dough to make our words.
We completed a word search to help us read our words. We enjoyed trying to find our words, especially the ones that were hidden very well. Miss Marra gave us some extra words to challenge us too!
We also looked for our words in books. We then wrote the words we found using a strategy of our choice. Some of us chose to write our words on our Literacy Learning Wall.
Some of also practised writing our words in hieroglyphics to challenge ourselves further. We enjoyed linking our learning in Literacy with our Ancient Egyptian Topic.
Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.
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!
