This little superstar returned to school last week with two athletics medals (one for participation and the other a bronze medal for finishing third overall in athletics events)! Well done!
Home Learning Grids
Please see attached home learning grids. These are also available in Seesaw if your child is in P1-3. If your child is in P4-7, they can access their grid on TEAMS.
Thank You
Dear Parents, Grandparents and Carers
A massive thank you to each and every one of you for all the lovely gifts your amazing children gave me. You have all been so generous and I really appreciate it. It has been a crazy year for everyone.
I have loved this year with all of the Primary 7s and will miss them enormously. I hope you all have a great summer with them before they head off to high school.
Thanks again

P5: The Scottish Landscape
We are learning to:
LI: Create a powerpoint slide
SC: I can… have a bold title
I can… have interesting facts
I can… have eye catching pictures
As part of their topic the children had to create a powerpoint to encourage tourists to come back and visit Scotland after the Covona virus. Their second outcome was a digital focus.
We are learning to:
LI: Develop our digital skills
SC: I can… use the snipping tool
The children had to use the snipping tool to capture images of Scotland to include in their powerpoint. We decided the top 3 powerpoints would be sent to Visit Scotland to let them see our skills and see if we were developing the correct skills to become part of the work force when we are older. It was very difficult to pick as all of the posters were really good. All of the powerpoints are in the P5 team if you want to have a look.
We sent our letter to Visit Scotland and this is a reply whicwe received:
Dear Mrs Campbell,
Thank you so much for sending me you pupils’ work as part of their Scotland landscape topic and especially on how we would attract visitors back to Scotland after Covid.
I think the class has done an excellent job and made some really lovely choices of pictures and joined them up with lots of interesting facts. From walking and fishing to the Harry Potter train and Nessie spotting, there’s something for everyone in there!
I thought you might like to share with the class one other favourite of visitors to Scotland – the Highland Coo. They are so popular that every week on our social media channels like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, Tuesday becomes ‘Coos-day’ and we post pictures like these. Thousands of people love them!
Â
Â
Scotland is a beautiful country and visitors come to experience our stunning scenery, our lochs, spectacular coastlines and beaches as well as our amazing castles, wildlife and so much more. To ensure it remains that way, it is so important for all of us to look after our special country and whenever we’re out for a walk, or maybe camping, or playing on the beach that we ‘leave only footprints and take away only memories’. So, it would be brilliant if your class could share that message with their friends and family.
I know there are still a few weeks of term left before the summer holidays, but when they do arrive, I hope you and your class can spend some time exploring our beautiful landscape.
Thank you again for sharing the work with me and you never know, one day, some of your class might be working for VisitScotland.
Kind regards

Pink Deck Party Celebrations!
I had a fantastic last day, having a pink deck party and celebrating with all our children. Thank you to everyone for making it so special.
Term 4 P.E. Days
Thank you for your support with school uniform and our new approach to P.E. kit.
We would request that on P.E. days children wear to school:
- white polo shirt/ t-shirt – with school logo or plain or blue school P.E. t-shirt
- blue sweatshirt/cardigan – with school logo or plain
- P7 – black sweatshirt/cardigan
- plain black tracksuit bottoms/ joggers
- black trainers
- girls who are wearing a skirt over their leggings can remove their skirt on P.E. days
- we would recommend that children don’t wear their shirt and tie on their P.E. days
In order to continue with our inclusive ethos and promoting our school identity we would request that children don’t wear branded clothing. We also have nearly new school polo shirts and sweatshirts that can be purchased for a small donation.
On non P.E. days children should wear their normal school uniform (this does not include tracksuit bottoms, leggings – unless with a skirt or jeans).
Term 4 P.E. Days
- Primary 1 – Mon/Wed
- Primary 2/1 – Mon/Friday
- Primary 3/2 – Wed/Fri
- Primary 4/3 – Mon/ Tues
- Primary 4 – Mon/Tues
