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!

Compass Directions
This week we have been learning about using a compass and giving directions. We each made a compass and gave directions to our partner to move them around the class. As it was such a nice day we took our learning outside and directed our partner around the playground. We had to make sure to we used the correct vocabulary.
P6 Sharing the Learning
We would like to thank everyone who came to our Sharing the Learning on Wednesday. It was great to hear the class talking with such confidence and expertise about their particular Station activity. Thanks to all those who were brave enough to try our Victorian assessment,Easter egg prizes have been dispatched!
P7 Raffle!
Our Primary 7 pupils have been busy! They used their persuasive writing skills to contact businesses to help fundraise for our leavers’ hoodies. We were overwhelmed with the response, please have a look through some of the incredible prizes. Pupils will be selling raffle tickets from tomorrow (18th April) in school, they are £2.50 a strip. Good luck and thank you for the support.
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.
Numeracy and Maths in P2
This week we have been looking at all the resources we have and reminding ourselves how we can use these in our learning.
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.

P1 Learning
This week we have been learning our new sound ‘ng’ and have been writing some descriptions. We’ve been trying really hard to remember capitals, finger spaces and full stops when writing sentences, and some of us have been using joining words too.
We are continuing to explore Our Five Senses and have had fun playing the feely bag game . We used lots of vocabulary to describe the textures we felt e.g smooth, rough, bumpy, hard, squishy, soft. We also learned about our sense of smell and found out that some smells can act as a warning eg. food can smell off, so don’t eat it .
“If you smell smoke, that’s a warning. There could be a fire and you need to get out.” – Heather
In Maths we’ve been looking at o’clock times on analogue and digital clocks. We’ve played some bingo games and have even made some of our own clocks.
