Primary 1 End of Term Update

Hello parents/carers,

Information regarding everything that has been covered this term is available on Seesaw. This will provide you with an insight of things you can recap or follow up on at home over the festive period.

Children who are wanting to write Christmas cards for their peers have been reminded of where their class mates names can be found.

We look forward to having you along to our Nativity performance on Thursday morning.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Walkingshaw

P5-7 Planting Event

On Friday, a group of pupils from P5-7 took part in a community planting event with Mirin and Nelly from the Edinburgh and Lothians Green Space Trust. We were invited along to help with the trust’s project to help create better habitats in our local area for great crested newts. This species of newt is protected and can be found locally.

The pupils planted plants such as meadow sweet, water mint and marsh cinquefoil around the pond edge which should serve as homes for the newts and protection from predators. The pupils also planted some trees near to the pond area. It was great fun, if a little muddy! Many of the children said they would like to return to the pond once the plants have had a chance to grow to see the difference they have made.

 

Primary 5 Dynamic Earth Trip

Last week, Primary 5 visited Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, where we learned all about the amazing world of oceans. The highlight of our visit was the Oceans Workshop, where the children took part in five engaging activities:

  • Creating an Ocean Food Web: Exploring how all marine life is connected.
  • Ocean Layers: Identifying animals that live in the different ocean zones.
  • Pressure Experiments: Understanding how pressure increases with depth.
  • Coral Acidification: Using chalk to see how pollution affects coral reefs.
  • ROV Expedition: Learning how robots help scientists study deep-sea animals.

We also toured Dynamic Earth, discovering more about our planet, the water cycle, and ocean ecosystems.

Have a look at our pictures to see the fun we had on this exciting learning adventure!
