Save the Date

Primary 4 and 5 would like to invite you to their Scottish Celebration Evening on:

Time: 6 – 7:30pm

We look forward to seeing you at the concert.

Miss Calder (P4), Mrs Glancy (p5/4) &  Mrs Craig (P5)

At Murrayfield we use an online literacy resource called IDL. All pupils in P4 and P5 have access to the resource as well as some pupils in P6 and P7. Working through the lessons in IDL is beneficial for all pupils as it provides practise on the skills needed to become an effective reader and writer.

The best results are seen when pupils complete at least 1 hour a week on the program. This can be done in school and at home. We would be grateful if you could support your child to log on and complete some lessons at home. Pupils using IDL in school are aware of their username and password.

Further information can be found on the IDL website https://idlsgroup.com/parents

Happy New Year from P4! It has been a busy first week back to school! We are continuing to learn about the Contexts for Learning and will use this for our Blog update every week.

Curriculum Areas & Subjects

Some of us have been doing division with remainders in numeracy. In class maths, we have all been learning about rounding numbers to the nearest 10.

We have been working on imaginative writing, starting with a winter adventure story. We were focussing on including lots of ambitious words in our writing.

Interdisciplinary Learning

We used our reading skills this week to find traditional Scots language. We read the Gruffalo in Scots as part of our new topic all about Robert Burns and Scottish Culture.

We have started practising for our Burns & Scottish Celebration night which will take place on Wednesday 13^th February.

Well done to Sean, Kirsty and Kenzie for working hard during reading this week and getting a Head Teacher’s award!

We hope you have a lovely weekend!
