This week the children shared their views and ideas on what they would like to learn about in primary two. They wrote excellent sentences. Below you will see some examples. Some of the ideas included, wildlife, nature, unicorns and Space. Lots of us chose animals so we decided that wildlife will be our first IDL context. Keep up the good work P2!
Primary One PE
The primary one pupils have made an excellent start to PE by learning all the gym hall routines and safety rules. They have also been developing their catching, bouncing, running, dribbling, jumping and skipping. All of the children have enjoyed learning the ‘banana dance’ warm up. They might even be able to teach it to you at home!
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be exploring passing, throwing and rolling balls at targets.

First Aid Training
Our fantastic Pupil Supports workers along with myself took part in a refresher emergency first aid course to ensure we can continue providing the best care for all of our children!
A big thank you to Crown Safety for educating us all further with important life skills. Adults learn too 🙂

Fantastic First Week in Primary 3B
We had a great first week back in Primary 3B! Everyone arrived on Tuesday morning ready to learn and excited to see our friends.
I have been so impressed with the listening skills in our class in our first week and you have already been working so hard. Mrs Stewart even popped in during Smart Start because she noticed you were all working hard and on task! We started off the week today with Active Spelling and you were all excited to use your brand new Literacy jotters. During our first week, you had many great conversations to share your thoughts, feelings and ideas about your new class.
Here are some of the conversations I observed from you during your first week in Primary 3.
I like being in this class. Ava
We are so lucky because we get marbles and pom poms in our class. Hannah
I love school. Struan
It is nice that you are getting to know us and we are getting to know you. That means it’s fair. Lucas
I like Maths at school. Cormac
I love going outside for play and staying inside for play. Lexi
Why don’t we change the Safe Space to over there because there is more room there. Sophie B
This is fun Maths. I like having a special job to help everyone. Aria
We are looking forward to sharing our learning with some photos at the end of the week. Keep working hard Primary 3!
P1 Starting School
Primary 1 have had a super start to school this week. They have been settling in well, learning all of our routines, and making new friends. We worked hard in the gym with Mr Miller, and our gym days this term will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Mrs Robertson came to class on Thursday. We listened to a story and pretended to be tigers. We had our first assembly today and watched it on the Smartboard.
Please bring a water bottle to class every day and remember your morning snack. Many thanks.
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday for another busy week.
Welcome to P2/1!
We’ve had a great week in P2/1. The boys and girls have had lots of fun in their new classroom and are settling well into the school routines after summer.
We had a chat about our favourite parts of the week.
‘I liked playing with the puppets.’ Emily G
‘My favourite part was the reading corner. I liked reading The Bug Collector.’ Abby
‘I liked the car park.’ Harris
‘I like the construction area.’ Harrison
We had a great time with Mr Millar during our PE lesson too. Our PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays.
Primary Two
Primary two have had a fantastic first week. We got to know one another and discussed what we would like to learn this year. We recapped on our prior knowledge of the school values and acted out each LEARN value. We played in our shop and used our addition skills to add the items that we bought. The photographs below show some of our learning. Well done P2!
PE days: Monday & Wednesday
Our first week in P3a
We have had lots of fun exploring our new classroom and learning our new routines. We have worked together to add within 20, find words in a Boggle board and started our Free Writing Friday – and that is just during our Smart Starts when we wake up our brains!
We have thought about how we can be kind to others and help ‘fill their bucket’. We are looking forward to learning lots of new things together.
This term our gym days will be on a Monday & Wednesday. On these days pupils can wear gym clothes in our school colours – black, yellow or white.
Primary 7A Place Value
What a week we have had in P7A! It has been lovely to get to know each other and get stuck into our learning. The pupils have contributed great ideas and input this week, helping to plan how we will meet our learning outcomes for the term. Here are some videos and photographs from our numeracy lessons; recapping on, and having some fun with place value.
