Primary 5
Primary 5 explored the concept of buoyancy by making their own boats out of tin foil! They learned that buoyancy is the force that helps objects float in water. Each group designed a tin foil boat and then tested how many marbles it could hold before sinking. They had so much fun experimenting with different shapes and sizes of boats to see which one could hold the most marbles. Primary 5 discovered that if the boat was bigger and had more layers of tin foil, it could hold more marbles. Some boats could hold up to 205 marbles!
P6 Trip to Sky Up Studios
Last Thursday 29th August, P6 attended a school trip to Sky Up Studios in Livingston. We were lucky enough to explore the Sky offices and see lots of people at work. We learned about the different roles and jobs they offer at Sky. We were shown behind the scenes clips of the new Wicked film, taught how to produce and plan trailers and the importance of props and settings. We worked in groups to write scripts, plan, film and produce a trailer. We got to watch our final productions on the big cinema screen complete with surround sound and flashing lights.
Our teachers were very proud of our creativity and behaviour as we represented our school.
Here are some photos of our school trip and an excellent piece of writing describing the experience.

Welcome to Primary 6 – Class Charter
Welcome back to our Primary 6 pupils.
We have had a busy two weeks settling into our new classroom. Take a look at our new classroom charter that we have created together.
We will demonstrate our school values of being nurturing, ambitious and respectful. We will be ready to learn, show respect and stay safe in our classroom.
Ask us about our classroom goals at home 🙂 
Primary 1 Update
Hello parents/carers,
What a wonderful first week we have had in Primary 1. The children have transitioned into their new class and routines well showing resilience to overcome their first week nerves. Thank you for supporting our learners on their new journey.
PE – Our PE days for this term will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Children should come into school with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate in sporting activities (ie trainers, joggers, t-shirt, jumper).
Snack for break time – If possible, can your child’s snack be kept separate from their lunch as some children are getting confused between what is for their break and what is for their lunch. Children may also want to have a small snack for the afternoon at the beginning of this school year, whilst they adjust to the longer days.
Seesaw login – All children will be provided with their Seesaw logins. Please try these at home and let me know if you have any issues. They will be uploading work onto their own accounts over the coming weeks once they have settled in to school life.
RCCT – Mrs Hardie will be working in Primary 1 on a Tuesday afternoon and will cover a range of HWB topics, PE and French.
Milk – Some children have been asking for milk; however they are not on the current list. If you would like them to be added to the list, please contact the school office.
Allergies – A reminder that no nut products should be brought into school due to children having allergies to different types of foods.
Personal items – Please ensure that everything your child brings to school is named. This will make it easier for them to look after and prevent things from being lost.
Lunch – Ensure children know what they are having for lunch before they arrive in the morning. If they are a school lunch which has been pre-ordered, this will not be changed by myself. You can order your child’s lunch through iPayimpact prior to them attending on the day. We use the colours in class to help identify what they would like.
The clear school bag/book bag provided during the transition into P1 is always useful for information to be sent home in. Please can you return the clear school bag/book bag so we can start using them to send information home. Should you not have access to the above, we will organise this for you.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw

I would greatly appreciate any feedback about Sports Day yesterday. This will allow me to plan and organise next year’s event with input from parents, children and carers.

Friday Fun in P6
This morning we developed our knowledge of angles using active maths inspired activities. We used masking tape to create different types of angles on our classroom tables. We continued to develop our confidence of using protractors during this activity.
We had to identify the different types of angles we had been learning about by stating the accurate degree and the type of angle (right angle, acute, straight line or obtuse).
We worked in different groups to ensure we achieved success and developed our confidence.
P6 Cross Country
Libby from Active Schools ran a Cross Country event for us today. We worked hard both individually and collectively to ensure the event was a success. We all received a participation medal and proudly showed them off for the remainder of the day.
Well done P6 from Libby and Miss Walkingshaw!
