Hi everyone…. we are all exhausted after our first day on Camp. We’ve been mountain biking, tree climbing, crate stacking, solving problems and tackling the low ropes! Can’t wait until tomorrow….
Primary 1 have enjoyed all the Health week activities planned this week. Thank you very much to Mrs Telfer and the Health and Wellbeing committee for all their hard word organising all the events. We did a cardio class in the hall with Miss Henderson and played football in the playground. We had a visit from Zola’s mum who talked to us about her job as a doctor and showed us how to use a Stethoscope to hear our heart beat. We had a talk from the SPCA and had the opportunity to hold a robot rabbit and role play as a vet. The sun was out for sport’s day on Tuesday afternoon which was great fun. We got to make fruit kebabs and ended the week with a whole school smile mile!
Welcome back to our P7 blog. Things have been very hectic in P7. We have been very busy completing lots of work for Transition and practising for our school show Mary Poppins. In Maths we have investigated Number Sequences. In Literacy we have written a reflective essay called ‘How School Shaped Me’. In Topic we have started our final term with ‘A Night at the Oscars.’ We found out about the movie industry, we set up our own production teams , we have become directors, script writers, artists, musicians, cameramen/women, editors and actors. We are looking forward to finding out about creating and editing our own movies.
Primary 1 are excited to be back to school after the Easter holidays and are looking forward to a fun filled term ahead. We have started our new topic with Primary 2 all about ‘Under the Sea’. We have been investigating under the sea creatures and learning about life cycles. Our topic in maths is money and we have been identifying and sequencing coins up to £2. We planted Narcissus seeds in our playground which we will look after this term.
This week we got ready for the Easter Fayre.. and enjoyed manning the stalls and taking part in the parade. Happy Easter everyone, have a lovely holiday!
We are now at the end of what has been a wonderful term. We have had some great fun learning through our topic about sustainability. Some of our highlights from this term are:
Mr Reed has been showing us the webcam in class and we have been reading the blog that keeps us up to date with what has been happening. If all goes well we are expecting to see eggs laid in the next few days.

What an exciting week in Primary 1! We took delivery of 10 eggs and observed them hatching over the week. We now have 8 gorgeous fluffy chicks! We filled in our Living eggs diary and created potato print chicks. We wrote a story about a walk in the Springtime using lots of description. We went outside for P.E on Thursday, we had lots of fun!
This week has been a busy and exciting, we have been learning about how Robinson Crusoe may have spent his time on the island. We went outdoors each afternoon and only using scrap materials and things we could find around the playground made kites, pictures and tall structures.
For each activity we had to work in teams; we had to cooperate with all members of our teams as Mr Reed was looking at how well we worked in groups. All groups made and flew their kites, some managed to fly really high others not quite so high. The art activity allowed us to make pictures or structures that required lots of imagination. The competition to make the tallest structure was great fun but difficult as they kept falling down.
On Friday we all went outside to fly our kites together this was great fun although the wind was so strong it kept snapping the strings. All the kites flew really well today. Mr Reed was impressed at our finished kites and how well we had made bits of rubbish fly!!
Our kites were definitely better than any that Robinson made.
Welcome to our blog. This week in P7 we have continued to calculate Time/Distance/Speed problems in Maths. In Topic/Science we looked at the structure of an atom and found out about how nuclear power is generated. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power. In Literacy we found out about Sadako Sasaki and the damage caused by the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and we wrote a graphic story. In RE we discussed Jesus and his disciples and thought about what would make a good disciple. We also continued with out Lent theme and used chalk to create Lent pictures. We enjoyed our visit from Archbishop Leo Cushley. We were also very excited to receive our Leavers Hoodies!
This week Primary 1 have been learning how to tell the time in o’clock on analogue and digital clocks. We have been revising all our long vowel sounds and Block 2 common words. We went into role as a knight and a dragon in our story ‘The Dragon Hunt’. Kyla brought in a daffodil and Zola brought in a Snowdrop to school so we painted pictures of the flowers and learned about the changes in Springtime. We also got to observe tadpoles before they were released into our pond in the playground. St Joseph’s had a very special visitor today. Archbishop Leo Cushley came round all the classes to answer questions and say a prayer, we were very lucky to meet him.
