Primary 4 chose a piece of work they were most pleased with this week. Â They had to look at it and think about why they were pleased with it and what could be a target for next time. Â Here are a few of our learners sharing their thoughts.
 
Primary 3
Jake – ” We learned how to say different animals in Spanish.”
Calum – “I learned how to say lion, red panda, owl and fish in Spanish.”
Aleisha – “We used a computer and the internet to find Spanish words. Â It was a Spanish dictionary. Â I have an English dictionary in my bag!”
Jessica – “We also used our writing and drawing skills.”

Hands Up Scotland Survey
Primary 6 conducted the Hands up Scotland Survey and Sean Wood in Primary 6 has compiled the results. Primary 6 noticed that driving to school is very popular which surprised them since we live in a small village. They urge you to think about how you are travelling to school and make changes if possible. This will help our environment as well as reducing the amount of traffic around our school. Please see below for Sean’s results.
P4 are developing Growth Mindset
(written on Friday 9th September)
This week Primary 4 have worked hard on some tricky tasks. They found some things difficult
This week we found Spelling difficult because we got trickier words. So we practised our words and they are easier.
This week we found writing numbers in Maths difficult so we used the information card to help us.
We found Maths difficult because we had to write numbers in words so we kept practising and it was easier by the time we got to the end of the sheet.
We found the Maths Chilli challenge tricky. It is choice of mild, hot or spicy problems which we could choose which one to solve. So we used the strategies the teacher gave us to help us.
We found the Maths worksheet where we had to write the words for numbers tricky so we kept trying and once we managed one we went on to the next one.
We found the listening activity tricky because we needed to listen carefully so we just kept trying.

Hello from Primary 4
(written on Friday 26th August)
We have settled in really well this week and are working on following instructions.
We are enjoying watching Newsround because it is interesting and we get to see what is happening around the world.
We have been reminding ourselves about the Golden Rules and Children’s rights and we are going to use these to create a Class Charter which will help our classroom be a better learning environment.
We have been learning new skills at PE. We practised throwing and catching. It was good fun.
We have chosen our representatives for the different groups in the school. Candidates had to present a short speech to say why they would be best for the job. Then we voted and the person with the most votes won.
Finally we have been using ClassDojo to earn points by working hard, behaving well and helping others. We have little monsters which are our characters. We like earning points this way.
Primary 1/2
Primary 1/2 have been learning Polish phrases. We practised saying ‘hi’, ‘good morning’ and ‘bye’ with our friends. We made some pictures to show what we have learnt. Do you know what the people in the pictures are saying?
As part of our Social Studies topic, Mrs Liddell came to visit us with a box of toys from the past. We learnt all about the materials old toys were made from and discussed how they had changed. The teddy in the picture below is very old! It used to be white and is stuffed with sawdust! We each chose our favourite old toy and wrote about it at writing time.
Primary 7
This week the children have been learning simple Spanish phrases in order to create a short play script. Â They have been working with a partner to create it in English and then try it in Spanish using a vocabulary list that they have learned.
The children have been creating comparison posters to compare aspects of life during WWII to the present day.
As part of our WWII topic, the children expressed an interest in the Holocaust. Â Today we had a presentation from Lucia who is an ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust. Â The children were very engaged in the presentation and had lots of questions to ask at the end.
Primary 1
P1 have been learning some simple Italian phrases as part of our focus on Languages this week. We also found out about popular Italian foods and made our own pizza and pasta on paper plates!
As part of our Toys topic this week, we had a special visitor in school from the Toy Museum who brought in old toys for us to learn about and play with. We had great fun!
