Seafield Primary School

Today, we held a wonderful achievement assembly, sharing lovely achievements, including amazing park run times, Lego builds and musical skills.

As we go off on our February break, I would like to wish all our families a restful break.

We look forward to seeing everyone when school is back on Tuesday 17th February 2026.

Kind Regards

Mrs S Page

Coming Up

What a busy week we’ve had in Primary 2/3   Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• During Health and Wellbeing we learned about table manners and we are trying to demonstrate these when eating lunch in the dining hall.  We also discussed different celebrations when families eat together and we each chose a special occasion and created a menu for it,
• We learned about speech marks and tried to include them in our narrative texts.
• Inspired by Oor Wullie and The Broons we worked in groups and started creating our own comic strips.  This will give us the chance to share many of the Scots words we’ve learned this term.
• During our outdoor learning session we learned about the Arctic and Antartica and we played a Polar Lands game.  We were pleased to earn an ‘Exploring’ stamp in our WWF Happy in Nature passports.
• In Maths we used what we’d learned about tally marks to collect data from the class about their favourite Scottish foods, animals and landmarks.  We then used this information to create pictograms.  We also enjoyed looking at various online pictograms and interpreting them.

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• It was tricky trying to remember exactly where to put the speech marks but hopefully the comic strips we’re working on will help make this clearer.
• We loved making Valentine cards during our joint play session with Primary 1 and we would like to learn more about cards with pop ups and inserts.

Our school value award winners for this week are Rose and Ollie. Congratulations!

Have a lovely February break everyone!

Another great week here at Seafield Primary School.

Many thanks to those who attended our Parent Council Meeting and to members who have attended or  indicated attendance at our Positive Relationships Focus Group Meetings. Your support and ideas are hugely valued and welcomed.

At our first meeting, on Monday, we looked at the existing positive relationships guidance, including how the school deals with bullying. The next meeting date is Wednesday 18th February 2026 at 10am, feel free to come along and share your ideas.

Primary 3/4 did a fantastic job today sharing their learning about Rainforests. The children demonstrated their learning by taking the audience on a tour of the Rainforest, describing the animals found, highlighting the dangers of deforestation and sharing a number of interesting facts! A huge thank you to our families for supporting your young people to learn their lines and songs and a massive thank you to Miss White for preparing our learners so well.

Yesterday, Primary 5/6 and 6/7 invited the community disco group to join us for a wonderful and memorable Burns Supper. The community group were entertained with songs, poems, dancing and more. What a wonderful link with our fantastic community!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Next Week 

Coming Up – Further dates available here https://seafieldprimary.westlothian.org.uk/article/75394/Dates-for-your-diary

Primary 6/7 have had a fantastic week with lots of great learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we discussed our week in school and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We really enjoyed the first week of our new timetable with Mrs Robertson joining us in our class

• Lots of us enjoyed practising our Scottish ceilidh dancing in PE as we practised for our Burns Supper event.

• Our Primary 7s continued to enjoy their online Spanish transition lesson with the focus this week on learning how to say the names of pets/animals as well as how to ask and answer questions about whether you have pets at home

However, our main event this week was our amazing Burns Supper as we did lots or rehearsals and then performed it for our local DISCO group (Seafield Senior Citizens). It is always wonderful to perform our poems, songs, dancing, etc for our community group and it was very positive and successful again this year. We all really enjoyed taking part in this brilliant event and singing our fantastic Scottish songs so enthusiastically. We also really enjoyed doing our Scottish dancing at the event and reciting Scottish poems as well as sharing some of our own Scottish poems. The DISCO group thoroughly enjoyed the event and gave us lots of positive comments and messages about how much they appreciated and loved the fantastic effort of the children.

A massive well done to Primary 5/6 and Primary 6/7 for their hard work and excellent performance of the Burns Supper.

Our school value award winners for this week are Harris and Mason. Congratulations!

Well done P6/7 for a magnificent, busy week. Have a lovely weekend.

Primary 6/7 have had a great week with lots of brilliant learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we discussed our week in school and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We really enjoyed our Literacy work with poetry recitals this week as lots of people worked really hard and knew parts or all of their poems off by heart

• We all really enjoyed working on writing our Toast to the Laddies and Toast to the Lassies texts/poems for our Burns Supper

• We also enjoyed our PE on Tuesday as we felt it was good to do a different sport activity this week

• Primary 7s really enjoyed their online Spanish transition lesson with the focus this week on learning how to say country names in Spanish and how to say where we come from
• We really enjoyed outdoor learning as we had some choice for free time outside

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Some of us felt that our comprehension work with Mrs Flynn was a bit tricky as it was hard to find the information in the text and there was a little too much noise in the room to help us stay focussed on the questions

• Some of us found it a bit tricky to pronounce some of the country names and other words in Spanish

Our lead learners were Che, Matthew, Matilda and Archie.  They decided on the following three targets for the class; to be responsible in the playground, to avoid shouting across the classroom and to try to make sure we don’t argue with the teacher. They observed lots of learners in the class meeting those targets, which is great news.

Our school value award winners for this week are Annie and Isla. Congratulations! Also, huge congratulations to Faith, Ben and Ruaridh who recited their Scottish poems at our school Burns Assembly on Friday morning.

Well done P6/7 for a wonderful, busy week. Have a lovely weekend.

What a super week it’s been in Primary 2/3   Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We learned the Scots names for different animals and were able to write a sentence using Scots words and illustrate this.
• We learned about alliteration and used this to write poems which we then shared with the P1 class.
• We really enjoyed our Scottish assembly on Friday. Rose, Harriet and Bella did a brilliant job of representing P2/3! It isn’t easy reciting a poem in front of the whole school so we are very proud of them.
• We are excited about our new WWF Happy in Nature passports.  We are looking forward to getting lots of stamps in our passports during outdoor learning.

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• In Maths, we’ve been learning about equations and although we understood about each side balancing, we did find it difficult to find the missing values.
• We’ve also been practising our joined handwriting and we found it particularly tricky to join an ‘s’ onto other letters.

Our school value award winners for this week are Zaynab and Ava. Congratulations!

Have a lovely weekend!

What a fabulous week it’s been in Primary 3/4.   Here’s what we would like to share about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We have really enjoyed making props for our Assembly next week. We are so excited to perform!
• We have enjoyed starting our new topic in Numeracy. We are working with Time and have liked using the small analogue clocks to help us!
• We think that we have been working hard on our new writing genre and want to continue this.
• We are also very proud of our poem readers. This morning they performed in front of the school and were fantastic!
• We have also all been working really hard in our new reading groups.

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Although we’ve enjoyed doing Time in Numeracy some of us found this tricky! We want to keep working on it.
• We also have to keep practising our spelling words. Some of us are forgetting to fill in our tables.

Our school value award winners for this week are Eadie and Blake. Congratulations!

Have a lovely weekend, see you next week.

We have had another super week of learning this week, we have been learning about the months of the year, days of the week and seasons and also learning more about Scotland, famous landmarks and traditions.

Tickled Pink

We have been working hard on our literacy tasks this week and have been carrying out different reading  comprehension tasks.

We have been enjoying our Scottish Dancing and can confidently sidestep in both directions with our partner then finish with a set of side kicks.

We were looking at Forth Rail Bridge and had a challenge to create a bridge using lego or kapla that could cross a material river- we then had to test it was strong enough to hold some toy characters.

We can sing the months of the year in order and know the days of the week and months of the year.

We were very proud of our handwriting this week.

We enjoyed listening to The Gruffalo in Scots and using Scots vocabulary.

We learned about Steven Brown and read some of his books about the McCoos

Green for Growth

We have been looking at some famous Scottish landmarks and traditions and have researched them using books and our knowledge to draw and write about them. it is a bit tricky finding exactly what we are looking for in some books.

It was tricky when we were given a month and had to say the name of the month before and after it or to give the previous two months.

We chose our Scots poems which we have to learn to recite, we will do these in class next week and 3 of us will be picked to perform at the whole school assembly.

We were learning about algebra in class it was very tricky.
