Primary 6 Update
Hello everyone,
A reminder that class talks will take place on the day you have selected this week (Monday-Thursday). You must come prepared ensuring you have your personal project jotter with you, whatever you need for your class talk (eg props, powerpoint, pictures etc) and making sure you have practised at least once to a member of your household – this helps to get rid of the nerves!
I am looking forward to listening to all of your talks.
Thanks,
Miss W
Primary 2/1
Just a short message to say ‘thank you’ to all the parents/carers and family members who came to the ‘Wriggly Nativity’ performances on Thursday. We really appreciate you taking the time to come and support us.
We were thrilled with how both performances went – the time and effort that children have put in is really something. It has been one of the best nativities I’ve seen/done in my twelve years!
Thank you again and Merry Christmas when it comes!
Miss M 🙂
The Northern Lights
We have been enjoying reading our class novel The Christmasaurus. We read about the Northern Lights and learned about how the colours are made in the sky. We enjoyed some sensory play to create swirled patterns like we saw in the pictures. We also created beautiful artwork using oil pastels and blending. 
Primary 2/1
This week, Primary 2/1 were writing to persuade.
We have been learning about exposition writing, where we are trying to persuade someone our point of view is right. As we had made/decorated beautiful Christmas biscuits for the Fayre last week, we decided to write in order to persuade people to buy them (many thanks to those of you who purchased biscuits from our stall!).
We also took part in some play-based activities linked to our writing theme:
- we watched/listened to the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’
- we used construction materials to build a trap to catch the Gingerbread Man
- we made our own gingerbread designs using different craft materials.
A reminder that the performances of ‘Wriggly Nativity’ will take place on Thursday 14th December at 9.30am and 2.00pm. We hope to see you there!
Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been up to!

Primary 6 Update
The week beginning Monday 18th December 2023 (the last week of term) we will be completing class talks. The children have been completing personal projects this term where they have explored a topic they are interested in.
They will be assessed on their talking and listening skills through a class talk. The children will be able to sign up for these on Monday 11th December 2023 in class.
The criteria has been posted on our Teams page for everyone to see.
Any questions please get in touch.
Primary 1
Primary 1 enjoy regular visits to the Community Library. Our lovely Librarian, Diane read “Superhero Hotel” this week. Here are some of our favourite parts of the story:
B: “I liked when they got thrown in the sky.”
A: “When they were all snoring.”
H: “When Mr Invisible got caught with the net.”
As part of our Fairyland topic, we completed another challenge this week. This time we helped Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Through our block play we had to build another chair for the bears, to replace the one that Goldilocks broke. We made our own bear puppets and sequenced the events of the story into the right order.
Primary 2/1
This week, Primary 2/1 have been making preparations for ‘Wriggly Nativity’!
Primary 1 parts have now been allocated and costumes fitted (there is no need for parents/carers to provide costumes). Primary 2 will form the choir for this year’s performance.
Nativity performances will take place on Thursday 14th December at 9.30am and 2.00pm. More information about these performances will follow in due course.
Please use the link below if your child would like to practise some of the songs at home:
Many thanks,
Miss McLaughlin 🙂

P6 Weekly Update
This week we created a piece of Christmas artwork to be displayed outside Miss Finlayson’s office.
Miss Walkingshaw’s challenged us to re-create the ‘Grinch Pinch’ from her favourite movie – The Grinch. We focused on texture, colour and detail when creating our pieces of artwork. We also ran a separate competition which was to design the best Grinch.
