Talk Money Week Home Challenge

Talk Money Week is an opportunity for everyone to get involved with events and activities across the UK which help people have more open conversations about their money – from pocket money to pensions – and continue these conversations year-round.

The ‘Magic Mathematicians’ Pupil Voice Group would like to invite you to take part in our Talk Money Challenge.  We would like you to think about how we keep money safe.

We would like you to design and create one of the following:

  • money container
  • wallet
  • purse

You can use recycled junk or fabric.

Please bring in your finished design by Friday 10th November.

The Magic Mathematicians will choose their favourite designs from the following age categories:

  • P1-P2
  • P3-P4
  • P5-P7

P2/1 Blog Week beginning 20.3.23

This week in numeracy we have continued to concentrate on subtraction (P1 within 10/P2 within 20).  We have been exploring data handling in maths.

Primary 2 have discussed and written their ‘Evaluation’ for their Information Report on Kittens this week and P1 have been writing about bath time.

We made our regular visit to the library on Monday.

We have been exploring ‘Relationships’ as part of our Resilience learning.  This week we talked about ‘In our family we like to…….’

We worked hard and performed our assembly on ‘France’.  Well done to all of the children, you were fantastic!  Thank you also to parents/carers and family for your support.

Primary 7 Class Charter

We spent a lot of time considering which articles, from the UN convention of the rights of a child, were most suited to us in school.

We read the articles.

Highlighted the one that applied to us in school/class.

We considered the most important to us.

We then thought how we as Rights Holders could keep these rights and how the adults  as Duty Bearers, can help us maintain our rights.

Primary 7 weekly update

It was lovely to be back with all our friends again.

We started a new Numeracy topic on volume. We have been learning how to read volume scales on beakers and jugs in millilitres and litres, working out problems with volume and we have begun learning how to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboids in cubic centimetres.

In literacy, we watched a short persuasive animation and tried to work out the message it was showing us. We then looked at the different devices the animator used to persuade us and discussed how effective these were.

In art, we started using the new drawing pencils we got at the end of last term. We learned how to draw a realistic mouth.

Have a great weekend everyone.

From Primary 7 and Mrs Andison

Primary 2 – Friday 28th January

Primary 2 have had a super week! Well Done everybody for practicing your Scots poetry. You recited them with confidence .

We have been learning about Space. We designed and decorated a Solar System. We also designed rockets to take us to Space, thinking about what to pack, the features of a rocket and creating these using our knowledge of 3D shape.  Take a look at our Seesaw page for some photos of our creations.

Have a lovely weekend everybody!

End of Term 1

It has been fantastic welcoming all our children back and we have had a settled, calm and fun start to the new school year. As we approach the end of term 1, I wanted to express my thanks to you for supporting us to ensure our return to school was safe. Thank you for your patience as we refined routines in line with changing and updated guidance.
Just a reminder that the school is now closed until Wednesday 21st October for the October holidays. We will continue to offer take away school lunches to those who are entitled to free school schools between 12:00-1:30pm each day (Monday-Friday) from the dinner hall. If your child is making use of this service please ensue their rubbish goes in the bin and isn’t left lying on the school grounds. The main school office will be closed, meaning there is no access to our main school phone number or email.
Our nursery is open during the October holidays as normal. Please phone 01506 280997 to report an absence or in an emergency. If your child is absent, please phone between 8:00-9:00am. If your child is going to be absent in the afternoon please phone between 1:15-2:00pm. (The previous issue with the phone has now been resolved).
I hope the sun keeps shinning like it is today and you manage to enjoy the October holidays.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton

Try not to ‘Google’ search the website address, it will not be searchable that way.

You will need to enter:

  • Your title (Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms) and surname
  • Your child’s first name, surname and date of birth
