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.

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!

The Northern Lights
We have been enjoying reading our class novel The Christmasaurus. We read about the Northern Lights and learned about how the colours are made in the sky. We enjoyed some sensory play to create swirled patterns like we saw in the pictures. We also created beautiful artwork using oil pastels and blending. 
Primary 2/1
This week, Primary 2/1 were writing to persuade.
We have been learning about exposition writing, where we are trying to persuade someone our point of view is right. As we had made/decorated beautiful Christmas biscuits for the Fayre last week, we decided to write in order to persuade people to buy them (many thanks to those of you who purchased biscuits from our stall!).
We also took part in some play-based activities linked to our writing theme:
- we watched/listened to the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’
- we used construction materials to build a trap to catch the Gingerbread Man
- we made our own gingerbread designs using different craft materials.
A reminder that the performances of ‘Wriggly Nativity’ will take place on Thursday 14th December at 9.30am and 2.00pm. We hope to see you there!
Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been up to!
