P2/1 have loved all the opportunities that Wellbeing Week has offered them to try new things, build relationships and have fun!

We had the chance to work and play with every other class in the school. Children collaborated to make smoothies with a twist – they chopped up fruits, selected their favourites, and then took turns to power the blender with the special smoothie bike!

We learned how to use our bodies in new ways during taster sessions for yoga, martial arts, fitness, singing and dance.

We explored a range of different hobbies including play-dough making, board games, painting and hamma beads.

We learned about emotional wellbeing, and showed kindness and care for each other by giving kind notes and gifts. Children showed lots of empathy and respect for each other.

We had great fun in a silent disco, playing hello bingo, making crafts and visiting the park. There were so many opportunities for children to work with other groups and share their talents and interests. What a wonderful week!

We celebrated Scotland Loves Languages Week 2026 with a theme of ‘En Plein Aire’ – outdoors. Unfortunately the Scottish weather meant lots of outdoor plans had to be adapted to somewhere a little more sheltered, but the languages explored in just one week was very inspiring!

During Collaboration Hour the nursery and P2/1 class learned about the celebration of Lunar New Year that is coming up soon in Chinese culture. Nursery and P1 children enjoyed a range of options including costume-play, dancing, sensory exploration, traditional games and woodworking their own dragons! P2 children researched some key elements of this celebration, and used their presentation skills to teach the younger children what they learned. All children had the chance to enjoy some healthy snacks related to the event, with several children discovering a new taste they enjoyed!

Maths this week has given children lots of opportunities to apply their new skills in subtraction. We have used counting objects, number lines, dice games, online robot-matching games and outdoor experiences. P2 children are learning to use number lines and 100 squares to solve subtraction challenges up to 100, while P1 children are working on challenges up to 30.

P2/1 are learning how to use money this term. P1s are getting to know the value of different coins, and P2s are using their adding skills to combine coins to make different totals.

Everyone is having lots of fun applying their knowledge in our lovely new role play shop!
