P2/1 were Successful Learners this week. As part of our Fairyland topic, Taffy the dragon set us a challenge to design a shoe for Cinderella’s wedding. Our shoe design had to include the following:
We successfully completed our designs and sent them to Taffy to show Cinderella.
This week we have been learning to multiply 2 digit numbers by 10. We have been using concrete materials to demonstrate what is happening. By using concrete materials the children become confident individuals because they can see what is happening,
 These are the fantastic WW2 Anderson shelters that were brought in as part of the class home learning, choice board tasks. I am absolutely delighted at the work and detail that has gone into making these. We have all really enjoyed this topic and will be able to apply some of what we learned to our new Discrimination topic.
This week in Primary 2 we have been listening out for our word boost words in our story Goat Donkey and the Noise Downstairs. We have added them to our word wall alongside the words we have learned from our first two stories (Who’s at the door & The Storm).
In numeracy we have been learning about place value. We are practising using concrete materials as well as digital resources to help us work out our hundreds, tens and units.

As tonight is Bonfire Night, Primary 2/1 have been Responsible Citizens learning how to stay safe around fireworks. Here are some important things we learned:
-Never throw fireworks
– Keep pets indoors
-Always wear gloves with sparklers
-Stand well back from fireworks and bonfires
-Never go back to a lit firework
We created our own firework pictures using different materials.
Well done to all of our pupils who won a Living the Values certificate. This week we were focusing on our value of NURTURING.
Next week we will be focusing on RESPECTFUL.
We are so proud of all of our pupils for living our values.
We have started our new class novel which is ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ by Ross MacKenzie. The children have been demonstrating how they are successful learners by demonstrating their art skills by using a range of media to create the ‘Nowhere Emporium’.
LI: Develop our art skills
SC: I can…. use a range of media
P4 have been successful learners by comparing and contrasting ‘The Cook Up’ from George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl, with ‘Double, Double Toil and Trouble’ by William Shakespeare. They used a key to identify and highlight repetition, onomatopoeia, alliteration and rhyming patterns. Then they transferred what they had learned to create their own poetry using these literacy techniques. Finally, they created a PowerPoint document in their Teams folder with a spooky background to present their poems.
Here is an example of one of the poems by Naomie.
Dear Parents, Grandparents and Carers
A massive thank you to each and every one of you for all the lovely gifts your amazing children gave me. You have all been so generous and I really appreciate it. It has been a crazy year for everyone.
I have loved this year with all of the Primary 7s and will miss them enormously. I hope you all have a great summer with them before they head off to high school.
Thanks again
Mrs Andison
