P6 Weekly Update

This week we have been learning how to explore character descriptions and consider how this indicates personality traits. We also looked into how to extract quotations and retrieve information from a novel or piece of text effectively. We used our class novel ‘Why the Whales Came’ by Michael Morpurgo to complete this task.

We looked into narrative voice, description, language and dialogue used to create an image of the Birdman in the readers head. We drew the Birdman based upon the descriptions given by the author and other characters in the novel, backing this up with direct quotations from the text to emphasise the way he is portrayed.

Primary 1

This week we have been learning about farming and produce journeys.

We discovered how milk gets from the farm to the shops, then we successfully sequenced each step and drew our own own pictures of the stages.

Primary 3

This week, Primary 3 took on a bridge-building challenge!

We learned that construction of the Forth Rail Bridge began during the Victorian times and used a unique design known as ‘cantilever’. We decided to try to make our own bridge models using art straws.

To begin with, we worked in two separate teams to construct our bridges. After many trials and tribulations, we combined into one whole team to complete our project. #effectivecontributors

Have a look at our model below.

P6 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 6 we had a visit from Zoe Gordon who shared her knowledge of languages with us. She will be working with us over the coming weeks to further develop our knowledge of French and Spanish. This week we worked on getting to know Spain and basic Spanish greetings.

In Science, Mrs McJimpsey worked with us on our knowledge of forces. She challenged us to create a Tin Foil Boat which was able to float on water. We then had to add one penny at a time onto the boat, counting them as we went along to see how long it would take for the boat to sink. We really enjoyed this activity!

Today we have went over the Mini-Health and Wellbeing Champs application. We have been asked to think about if we would like to apply for this role which will go with us into P7. The applications will be handed out on Monday 16th May 2022 and must be returned by Monday 30th May 2022. This can be completed at home however we advise the children to complete this themselves.

Well done to our certificate winners for this week, Sophie-Rose and Finlay.

Primary 2 & Primary 2/1

This week in Primary 2 and Primary 2/1 we got the opportunity to share our learning on sun safety at assembly. We started off by sharing what we already knew about sun safety.

We then made sun safety posters and created  our artwork for assembly.


Mrs Strachan and Miss McGregor were very proud of everyone’s hard work!

P5 Weekly Update

This week we have been learning about extinct species. We have worked in groups to create posters which we will present to the class next week. Here are some interesting facts we have learned from our online research:

  • Tasmanian tigers were not actually a big threat to humans
  • Dodos ate nuts
  • Woolly mammoths’ ears are shorter than the ears of a modern elephant
  • Modern science thinks that the tyrannosaurus rex had feathers as well as scales
  • The big teeth that a sabre-toothed cat had were really good for hunting!

In other news, some children reached level 10D on their 55 Club multiplication activities- well done everyone! We have also been learning how to add amounts of money involving a decimal point.

This week we also played some football in PE and it was really fun.

Have a good weekend!

From P5
