The NSPCC’s ‘Speak Out. Stay Safe.’ Programme is visiting our school on Monday 24th September. Your child will come home today with a letter which outlines more details. You can also find more info at nspcc.org.uk/pants
The programme for the day is as follows:
9.15-9.45 P1-3 Assembly

At indoor lunchtime today our P7 pupils kept the younger pupils entertained in class. They were fantastic role models! One of our P7 Buddies kept a group of P1 children mesmorised with his magic tricks – what a captive audience he had 🙂

LENDRICK MUIR
What a great time our P5 pupils and staff had at P5 Camp last week! They had a busy but very enjoyable time at Lendrick Muir and will have lots of happy memories about their time spent there with their friends. A special thanks goes to Miss Jamieson, Miss Cameron , Mrs Hearn and Mrs Sandison who accompanied the children to camp this year. Without our dedicated staff giving up their own time we would not be able to offer these valuable residential experiences for our pupils.
Children in Nursery are noticing the seasonal changes with Autumn approaching. Many of them are bringing leaves (that have fallen and changed colour) and conkers into nursery to show their friends and to add to our Autumn Discovery Tray.
Discovery Tray
At Group Time we have been discussing Autumn with the children and introduced a game ‘Knock Knock Knock, Whats in the Box?’ with Autumn pictures, books, leaves, apples, conkers, pine cones etc to extend their interest and allow the children to share their knowledge with their group.
‘Knock Knock Knock, Whats in the Box?’
Autumn Walk/EE2 Forms
We will hopefully be organising a local Autumn Walk with the children soon. Although we need to arrange all returning families to complete an EE2 form before we can do this. Please look out for this in the coming weeks. A prompt return of the form would be appreciated so we will have time to go ahead with a walk.
Primary 5J would like to invite all Primary 5 parents, carers and friends to hear about our experiences of camp last week. Our assembly is this Friday (21st) at 9:30am in the dining hall.

P2C and P2M TLO Term 1 2018-2019
P3D and P3R TLO Term 1 2018-2019
As part of Scottish Maths Week 2018 we have participated in a variety of activities ranging from solving mysteries, Maths Top Trumps, Sumdog National Competition and a Roald Dahl maths challenge,which linked to Roald Dahl Day on Thursday. We used a range of skills and strategies in each task and got the opportunity to work in different groups and pairings. We also set social targets when working in our different groups. A few examples of these chosen targets included listening to everyone and valuing their contribution and maintaining eye contact when addressing a member of the group.
During Maths Week P6A have come up with some imaginative ways to share their number talks; helping everyone to learn new strategies and have some fun at the same time. Here are a some pupils rapping and singing their number talks!
