Book bug visiting nursery children
Scottish Book Trust Bookbug visits nursery
The nursery children enjoyed their ‘Bookbug’ day yesterday. They sang songs, played a singing game and Mrs Dickie read them a story. Afterwards the children had a special visitor from the Scottish Book Trust – Bookbug himself came to visit. The children then received their book bug bags to take home and enjoy reading with an adult.
Pumphie Pals Meeting
Primary 1 Stay Safe Online
 We are learning to … stay safe online.Â
- I can … name some things that use the internet.
- I know … what to do if I think something is wrong.
- I can … name adults that I can speak to.
We talked about what we like doing on computers or ipads.
Maisey – “I like playing ‘Minions’ on my ipad”
Connor – “I like going on You Tube”
Christopher J “He might see something he doesn’t want”
We heard a story about Smartie the penguin who got a new computer for his birthday. Something popped up on the screen and he didn’t know what is was or what to do. We talked to our partners to think of some help for Smartie. We had a vote and decided he should tell a grown-up.
We learned a song to help us remember what to do:
Before you click, click, click
You need to think, think, thinkÂ
AND TELL SOMEONE!Â

P6: Developing our writing skills
We are learning to use similes and alliteration when setting the scene.
Success criteria:
I can…. use ambitious vocabulary
I can…. use similes
I can…. use alliteration
I can…. use ambitious connectives.
First we looked at a variety of poems to see if we could see examples of similes and alliteration. Then we wrote our own examples of similes and alliteration. Then we applied these skills in our writing by setting the scene to our story about the beach.
Primary 2 Safer Internet Week
Learning intention – To learn more about how to be safe on the internet.
Description of learning activities – We talked about what we would do if we felt unsafe or uncomfortable online. We watched a clip from the Safer Internet website about what to do if we felt stressed or worried about using technology. We learned how to log in on school netbooks with a password and how to open and close apps. We learned what some of the apps on the netbooks were and began using the keyboard to type our names.
Assessment – I can begin to use school technologies safely and appropriately.
I understand why it is important to behave responsibly online.
I can talk about how to stay safe online.
Learning at home – We could go home and practise using apps, opening and closing them. We need to be careful at home in case we feel uncomfortable online and know to tell a grown-up if we are worried. We will be careful about which apps we will use at home and close any videos that are inappropriate. We know not to add or follow anyone we don’t know and not to give details out.

Celebrating Scotland and Burns!
AM and PM nursery classes celebrated Scotland and Burns last week. We sang Scottish songs and poems and talked about what we knew about Scotland. We looked together at Scottish items and photographs. On Burn’s Day we had a Burns supper for snack and the children had the opportunity to taste haggis, neeps and tatties and dance to Scottish music.
