Seafield Primary School

Primary 6/7 had a great week with lots of excellent learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we were extremely busy with organising and running our Rights Day, so we didn’t have time to discuss how the week went.

We all really enjoyed the Rights Day on Friday morning. There were lots of excellent activities to help everyone in our school learn about children’s rights and how important they are. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities and did a fantastic job with leading our younger learners in school and supporting them to take part in the activities and learn about rights.

Tickled Pink (things that went well):

• We have continued to work hard on preparing for for our first class debate on social media access for children and young people

• We enjoyed our persuasive writing this week and made good progress

• We all continued to enjoy badminton in PE and improve our control of the shuttle as we worked on our backhand shots

• We enjoyed talking about our Right of the Fortnight in class and discussing privacy, particularly in relation to phones and other technology

• We enjoyed working on finding important countries and places on a map of the world linked to our World War II work in class

Green for Growth (things to do to improve our learning)

• In Maths, we need to continue to work hard on fractions, decimals and percentages as well as our mental maths strategies
• All children in our class need to work hard at taking care of school resources and keeping our classroom clean and tidy

Our school value award winners for this week are Noel and Sebastian. Congratulations!

Well done P6/7 for a fantastic, busy week and with your amazing support for our younger learners during Rights Day. Have a lovely weekend.

What a super 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):

• We have continued to work on our comic strips which we hope to share at our upcoming assembly.
• During Health and Wellbeing we learned about good hygiene and we made posters to share what we had learned with others.
• For our writing session this week we wrote response texts about Zog and the Flying Doctors by Julia Donaldson.  This is a story that we really enjoyed reading in class and we had lots to write about it.
• During our outdoor learning session we learned about weather and after looking at weather forecasts online we started to create our own weather charts which we will complete daily. This meant we were able to earn another stamp on our WWF Happy in Nature passports.
• We learned about  Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr and made our own mehndi patterns.
• We also had lots of fun during our Rights Day on Friday with the smoothie bike and the orienteering proving to be very exciting and entertaining.

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

• In Maths we started to learn about multiplication and we have enjoyed skip counting and building arrays but we are finding it difficult to remember rows and columns.  Some children also found interesting arrays at home which they shared with the class on Seesaw.

Our school value award winners for this week are Alice for being ambitious and Elodie for being kind. Congratulations!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

It was lovely to welcome everyone back after the February break. Many children shared stories with me this week, telling me all about their time off.

Pupil Leadership has been a focus this week, with the Rights Respecting Group meeting to discuss plans for our upcoming Rights Day, the Pupil council meeting with myself to discuss an allocated wall space to display and celebrate all their hard work and Hub groups meeting today too! The reading Hub group will be leading an assembly on Tuesday to share school plans for World Book Day. This will include the option for pupils to come to school dressed down or dressed up as a character on Friday 5th March. The poster shared was created using adobe express by our very talented Jason! Thank you for this. World Book Day

I would like to thank the P3/4 learners who are meeting me regularly to prepare and plan an initiative they have brought to me, focused on raising some funds for charities. So far, the children have surveyed pupils in the school to find out which charities matter most to them and next week the group will be presenting suggested ideas to parents in the form of email communication. Watch out for this coming your way.

Overall, another busy week with lots of exciting opportunities coming up!

Have a great weekend everyone

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful 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 feel that we are making very good progress in PE with badminton as we are able to control the shuttle more as we build our rallies with our partners

• We feel very positive about starting to prepare for our first class debate as we have worked hard on researching and preparing speeches

• We enjoyed our writing task this week and made good progress as we began our focus on persuasive writing and we had to choose whether we wanted to argue for or against school uniform

• We all really enjoyed sharing our ideas and opinions in our Learning Hub groups on Friday morning

• Our Rights champions felt that we had very good meetings this week as we prepare for our next Rights Day in school

• We all really enjoyed starting to learn about the history of World War II this week in class

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

• Some of us felt that our comprehension work with Mrs Robertson was a bit tricky as it was hard to find the information in the text to answer the questions

• Some of us found our Maths work on fractions and decimals and how to convert from one to the other a bit difficult
• Lots of us felt that there needs to be better listening when we are out for our outdoor learning sessions

Our school value award winners for this week are Georgia and Zac. Congratulations!

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

We have had a short week this week after our February break and have enjoyed being back in class with our friends. There has been some good listening and talking this week as children have been keen to share some of the things they have been doing. Some children uploaded pictures and videos to seesaw of  art work they have created and projects they were involved in. It was nice to share these in class.

Tickled Pink

• We worked together in groups to plan for our class assembly – we were thinking about which meta skills we used while we created a group comic strip. We had to focus, plan, design, work together and listen to each other.
• We enjoyed creating short drama sketches.
• We enjoyed putting items into equal groups during maths time, in preparation for our multiplication work.
• We made array cities and we worked hard on them, all of our buildings look really nice and we are proud of them.

Green for Growth

• Some of us found our Short Read comprehension tasks a bit tricky but we have ambition and resilience so we will become more confident the more we use it.
• We need to try harder to keep our jacket area tidy and make sure we hang them on the peg.
• We need to try and not play in the really muddy parts of the playground because our class  carpet was very muddy this week, some people have been bringing in gym shoes to wear in class.

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

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!

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.
