Primary 3 have been travelling back in time in their time machine to research how Victorian children lived. We worked together to create a display of Victorian children for our classroom. We had great fun today on our wellie and onesie walk!
Saving Scottish Animals
We had a very special visitor in school today. All of our classes got the chance to meet Lee, who is an animal rescue officer with the Scottish SPCA. We learned lots about how we can help protect animals here in our community, how dangerous litter can be 
and what to do if we see an animal in trouble. She taught us to stay safe, tell an adult and contact the SSPCA for help. Here is a link to their website http://www.scottishspca.org/
Too wet for wombling!
Sadly we had to postpone our Community Litter Pick today due to the extreme wet weather. A new date will be announced shortly. Thank you to everyone who offered support!
Primary 7 Reflections
In primary 7 we talked about which lessons we learned best, here are some examples:
- Elli said the spelling scrabble game because we had to time ourselves and it was fun.
- Sophie said she became more confident with calculating time durations during maths.Â
We were all really proud on Wednesday in P.E as we had a great game of Benchball where everyone showed good sportsmanship.

P1 Reflective Learning
In Primary 1 we have been learning new sounds.
We have already learned…
‘P’ – is pink and we use our lips
‘A’ – is black and we use our tunnel
‘S’ – is light blue and is a quiet tongue sound
‘C’ – is yellow and is a throat sound
‘M’ – is red and we use our lips
See if YOU can remember all of the sounds and colours we learned this week.
Good luck.. We’ll be testing you!

News from the eco committee.
On the 23rd of September a important lady is coming to the school to see if our school is eco enough for the green flag.In our meeting on Tuesday we were talking about what we are going to do clean up around our school grounds, the suds pond and the school garden for our action plan this year. P5 have been doing ground force and they have been trying their hardest to keep our school grounds as clean as posible. P6 have been doing litter picking.
Any parents or friends of the school who would like to help with weeding, digging or planting this year would be very welcome. Please contact Mrs Hull at the school.
