P5 took part in Google’s Be Internet Legends Day through a Virtual Assembly. We learned about staying safe and being kind on line. We are Internet Legends. 
Primary 1
Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 are now busy learning the songs for this year’s nativity. If you would like to support your child in learning the songs, all songs for the nativity can be found on the link below:
Primary 2/1
This week, Primary 2/1 have been participating in block play.
Below, you can see some of the creations different groups came up with. They made designs using wooden blocks, natural materials and small world items.
Can you guess what each design is?
Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been learning!

Primary 3/2
Today Primary 3/2 really enjoyed getting to tune into Author’s Live with Benji Davies. We got to watch and listen to him reading us his book ‘The Great Storm Whale’. Benji Davies also showed us how to draw some characters and scenes from his book. Here are some examples of our drawings.
Pupil Voice: STEM Group
Today, we looked at the E (Engineering) element of STEAM in our Pupil Voice Group. We designed rollercoasters and used only Lego or paper to build our designs. We even had a go at making some carts to move along the track. Excellent Engineering! 
STEM Challenge
To finish off our Chance and Probability topic, we have completed a STEM challenge. We made theoretical predictions about coin toss and dice rolling. We carried out a series of challenges to see if our expectations were correct.
Primary 1
Primary 1 were happy to receive their Book Bug bag this week. We enjoyed listening to the stories and took part in activities relating to the books. We read “Penelope Snoop, Ace Detective.” After reading, we designed our own rocket to travel to space and packed our own suitcase, drawing everything we wanted to take with us.
We read the book “5 bears: A tale of friendship” then made fur for our own bear and clothes for them to wear.
Our book bag contained our first minibeast book so we designed our own butterfly and decorated its wings.
Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came to our reading events on Thursday and Friday. We appreciate your support.
Primary 2/1
On Friday, Primary 2/1 brought home their ‘Wonderful Week of Learning’ jotters. These jotters are used each term to show what learning looks like across a week.
We would love it if you could take some time to look at your child’s learning and talk to them about it. I am also happy if you would like to leave comments/sticky notes on certain pieces of work. Primary 2/1 have been working so hard and it would be lovely to see what you think!
‘Wonderful Week of Learning’ jotters should be returned to school at some point next week.
Also, a massive ‘thank you’ to all of the parents, carers and friends who came to our reading events on Thursday/Friday. We really appreciate you taking the time to support your child.
I especially loved the efforts from Team Manson for our ‘create a bear’ challenge and couldn’t resist sharing a picture of their work!
Many thanks,
Miss McLaughlin 🙂
Primary 3/2 update
Primary 3/2 have been working hard since the start of term 2 in October. Here are some pictures of our new corridor displays showing off all our hard work. We have started our rainforest topic and have been exploring where rainforests are in the world as well as learning about the 3 main climate zones.
In literacy our focus has been on narrative writing and we have written some fantastic stories.
We have also been learning about Diwali the Hindu festival of light and have created our own Rangoli patterns.
In maths we have started to explore time and have been enjoying some active learning to help us with this tricky concept!
Anti-Bullying Week
To celebrate World Kindness & Anti Bullying Week, Primary 5 thought about what they could do to help someone who is feeling bullied. We created a class caring chain out of our ideas.
