We were delighted to welcome so many parents and carers to our learning showcase event held on Wednesday 27th November. We know that parents are keen to support their child’s learning and we were glad to share the approaches used to develop reading from Nursery to Primary 7. There was a short presentation about reading given by Miss Speirs, then the children shared their learning with our guests and showed how reading skills are taught in our school. There was an amazing turnout with over 100 visitors on the night. Thank you to everyone who joined us, it was great to see you there.
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!

The Highlights of Our Week
This week we enjoyed our Scots assembly and the particular stars were Lewis Taylor, Bruce Aitken, Lauryn Sandilands and Megan Stevenson. Thanks to our backroom staff!!!
We enjoyed our art lesson and produced excellent work in the style of Claude  Monet. We look forward to seeing the final product.
Our new class novel, “What If They Find Us” by Kathy Clark ,is about 2 refugees and is a gripping story which we are enjoying listening to it.
Primary 6
Last week we started badminton in P.E. with Mrs Pender. We performed our fitness routines to P4 too, it was great fun.
For reading the blue group created good questions and the red reading group made persuasive leaflets.
To finish our Body, Bones and Blood topic we made line graphs to see who had the smallest bones. Each group had a different bone to gather data on.
In writing we created our own characters. We had to make them seem real by adding action, speech and feelings.
We are all looking forward to starting our new topic next week – Titanic!
Remember to keep practising your Scots poem for Monday!
Primary 6
Primary 6 have been learning all about bodies, bones and blood. We measured different bones in our bodies, recorded the measurements and we are going to make a line graph using the data. We made a model of the heart using plastic bottles, straws, balloons, tape, food colouring and water. It showed us how the heart pumps blood.
In reading this week we all started new books in our groups. Two groups are reading Roald Dahl and the other Michael Morpurgo.
In PE, we have been creating our own fitness routine to perform and teach Primary 4. We worked well in our teams.
