Primary 7 Scottish focus
In Primary 7 our first IDL topic this term was Scottish Musicians, past and present.
We have learned about the career, family and music of a variety of Scottish musicians that pupils listen to currently and some from the not too distant past.
Some of the musicians we learned about are Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris, Gerry Cinnamon, Runrig, The Incredible String Band, Gerry Rafferty and Annie Lennox. We have researched, produced posters and written non-chronological reports on a chosen musician.
We also listened to the different genres of music and discussed how they affected our emotions, mood and if they created mental images in our minds. We had some very good discussions as well as enjoying some music from artists we hadn’t heard before.
P5 Scots focus
Well done to Aiden C, Layla and Lewis who are reciting their poems. Today Eilidh, Olivia P and Aiden C will be entertaining us with their Scottish country dancing at the assembly. As part of the Scottish topic the children have been making stain glass windows. Here are some of their lovely pictures.
Nursery Sing a Long
Our nursery families joined us to sing a long with some festive tunes. After the singing we enjoyed hot chocolate and played together in the nursery.

Our School Choir
Wriggly Nativity
This week Primary 1, 2 and 3 shared the Christmas Story with their family, friends, our school and invited guests, in the form of the Wriggly Nativity.
They had perfect singing voices, with lots of actions and Primary 1 were super confident at saying their lines using the microphone.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and a big well done to our children, we are super proud of you.
A special thank you to our staff, for supporting the children with the preparation for the performance.

A Little Unicorn Magic in P1
In P1 we have been reading ‘Sophie Johnson – Unicorn Expert’ by Morag Hood as part of our IDL topic.  We have been exploring lots skills linked to the book and showing our understanding of the story.
Last night, our janitor noticed something a bit strange on the class camera. We think some creatures might have had a little visit to our classroom when we were not there! Can you spot them in our clip?
Today in writing, we tried to draw where we think they have come from. It was very exciting!
Will there be anymore magic in P1?
