Some excellent extended learning at home this week in P3R!
Inspired by our class novel ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes, we have two super Lego models.
One of our homework tasks was to draw a musical instrument and label how it works. Fantastic picture!
Well Done boys!
Everyone in P1 has been having fun in our Block Play area. These are just a few of our super creations! We can plan our construction before we start to build and have been very good at collaborating with our friends.

We are very proud of our two talented pupils in P1Y. Well done for receiving a trophy for doing amazing balances in your gymnastics class, and for winning a medal for dirt bike riding at Duns.
In P7S we have been looking at what key skills we use in class everyday that we could continue to develop as we move forward towards the world of work. It was interesting to hear the class discuss what life skills they actually use on a daily basis but may not even realise it. When we looked at a full day in P7 words such as communication, resilience,confidence, organisation and problem solving were all mentioned. Looking at the Developing the Young Workforce website,all key life skills. Linking to communication the class also mentioned reading and how they thought this particular skill would impact on a whole range of careers. With this in mind we decided we wanted a particular area in the class where we could read for pleasure. We also wanted to link our reading to everyday contexts so we brought in a range of Non Fiction texts from around home and school, demonstrating that reading really is all around us. We also visited the library last week and chose to select non fiction texts as we felt that maybe we were great readers but we needed to widen our genre. If you look at the photos we have created a corner where we can read and share our recommendations with the rest of the class….we have become living blurbs!
Primary 1 had a special visitor this week from Museum Services.
She brought lots of toys that people played with in the past.
We played with some of the toys and in class we’re trying to make some too!
We talked about the different materials that the old toys were made of.
In class we’re sorting old toys and new toys. We are making a Toy Shop, Toy Museum and a Toy Cafe.
Well done to Primary 3D for their fantastic performance this morning at the assembly. They have learned so much about Ancient Egypt and were excited to share their learning with the rest of the school. Their hard work definitely paid off this morning! Enjoy your well deserved long weekend!
We have had a successful start to the new term in P3R with some super writing!
This week we were listening to Chapter 1 in the story of ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes.
We have been writing about what we think would happen next in the story.
We used our target checklist to peer assess our partner’s work and gave them positive feedback.
We also have been thinking about our next steps in writing for this term. Some of us are working on spelling, punctuation or vocabulary.
We can’t wait to find out what happens next in the story.
We are continuing to work hard in Phonics and we have been learning compound words this week e.g. football, corkscrew etc. We will be moving on to soft c and soft g words over the next few weeks e.g. page, cell. We will engaging in a range of learning activities to practise reading and writing words with these sounds. Please support your child to practise these sounds at home.
Thank you for your continued support.
