Primary 2/1
This week, Primary 2/1 did some topic-based planning!
Miss McLaughlin gave us a set of clues and from these, we had to work out what our new topic theme was. Can you guess?
That’s right – we will be looking at castle life! Using the clues, we came up with an ‘I think…/I know…/I wonder…’ grid to help us shape our topic.
I think…
- Soldiers needed to protect castles.
- Knights needed to protect the king and queen.
- Knights were used to fight dragons.
- Horses were used to help protect the castle.
I know…
- That inside a castle there is a huge hall.
- That I have been to Balmoral Castle.
- That castles were built using stone and wood.
I wonder…
- How castles were built to be secure?
- If stone was used to build castle towers?
- Who lived in a castle?
- Where food came from in castle times?
- If castles were cold?
- How crowns were made and who would wear them?
Check in with us again to see what else we have been learning!

Primary 1
On Friday, all children were given the chance to recite a Scots poem in class.
A big well done to two of our Primary one pupils, who worked hard at home to learn their poems and have been chosen to recite them at the P3 assembly on Wednesday. Well done to you both!
Please note that from this week our PE days will be a Monday and Thursday.

P5 Termly Overview Term 3
Primary 1
Primary 1 have been revising their sounds and numbers to check where we are with our learning.
Last week we were learning about New Year and the different ways it is celebrated around the world.
We made 2024 calendars to take home as a gift for our family. We worked with a partner to practise our cutting skills, making a collage with old Christmas cards.
As part of our Scots focus we have been learning some Scottish songs and have also been given a choice of a short Scots poem to learn that we will get the chance to recite in class on Friday.
Scots Poetry
This week, we are learning Scots poetry. Please practice with us at home so we feel confident to recite our poems next week.
Your child will have one of these poems to practice in their bag.
- Veggie Olympics
- Street Talk
- A Night’s rain
Thank you,
Miss Hall & Primary 5 🙂
Primary 2/1
This week, Primary 2/1 were learning about symmetry.
On investigation, we learned that symmetry was like a ‘fold’ and that both parts of a shape/pattern/object had to match each other. We also learned that symmetry is an important part of nature as lots of insects have symmetrical bodies/patterns.
We took part in play-based activities linked to symmetry and created our own symmetrical ladybirds.
Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been learning!

Just a short message to say ‘thank you’ to all the parents/carers and family members who came to the ‘Wriggly Nativity’ performances on Thursday. We really appreciate you taking the time to come and support us.
We were thrilled with how both performances went – the time and effort that children have put in is really something. It has been one of the best nativities I’ve seen/done in my twelve years!
Thank you again and Merry Christmas when it comes!
Miss M 🙂
