Welcome to St Mary’s Primary 1 2026

Primary 1 have settled into St Mary’s well, and have been learning and adjusting to the routines of the school. What a fantastic group they are!

We have spent lots of time with our Primary 7 buddies, going for break and lunch together as well as getting to explore their big classroom. We are looking forward to spending lots of time together.

We also attended our first whole school assembly for the first time, we all were very respectful.

Miss Stenhouse is very proud of all of the boys and girls !
Have a lovely weekend 😀

 

Introducing our P7!

We would like to introduce our new St Mary’s p7!

Our new P7s have hit the ground running this week. They arrived on Wednesday looking smart and ready to represent our school. Well done!
They are prepared to be excellent role models in the school, taking on extra jobs like house captains and prefects and they have already shown that they are responsible, kind and caring in their buddying duties with the P1s. We are all very proud of you and can’t wait for the fantastic year we have ahead of us.

Last day in P5 with Miss Fox

We had a lovely last day in P5 with Miss Fox! We enjoyed drawing self-portraits and filling our sunglasses with our hopes and wishes for the summer. We also read the letters we wrote to our future selves when we first met Miss Fox back in P4 and shared them with our friends – there were lots of laughs as we looked back on our memories together. In the afternoon, we enjoyed some time outdoors before heading home. It was a wonderful way to spend our final day together in class this session.

 

 

 

P3 🐴🌳

Today, P3 enjoyed a fantastic trip to The Kelpies. Before our visit, we watched the story of the Kelpies and learned about the history and meaning behind these impressive sculptures.🐴

We had a great time exploring the area and seeing the Kelpies up close. Although the weather was a little rainy at times, we found shelter under some trees and enjoyed our lunch together.🌧️🍴

On our way back to school, we stopped at Callendar Park where we had fun exploring and spending time with friends. It was the perfect way to end our day!

 We have made so many memories on our school trips this year!

P7/6 trip to Kelpies and Callendar


This week P7/6 enjoyed the whole school trip to the Kelpies and Callendar Park as our end of term trip. We have been learning  about the Kelpies in class and how you should be careful around the edge of a loch and not to approach any type of horse… or worse, any mysterious person whose hair might be damp and tangled…

The rain held off so we enjoyed the play park after eating our snacks under these magnificent monoliths. Well done P7/6!

 

P3⚽️🍦

We enjoyed learning about the World Cup and watched highlights from Scotland vs Haiti P3 carried out research on Scotland’s football team and discovered interesting facts, including who the captain is and what the team’s strip looks like.⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As P3 is coming to an end, we looked back at the targets and wishes we set at the beginning of the year. We were proud to see that we had achieved them all and even more! ⭐️To celebrate our favourite memories, we created Polaroid style snapshots showing the best moments from our year in P3.📷

We also had a wonderful time watching the performance of Matilda by P5, P6 and P7. P3 loved joining in with the songs, and our favourite was definitely Revolting Children!🎬

To top off the week, Mrs Witherspoon gave us an amazing surprise. When we first met Mrs Witherspoon at the start of P3, she read us the story Gorilla Loves Vanilla🍦.To celebrate our year together, she created our very own ice cream parlour! P3 enjoyed choosing toppings such as gummy worms, green “grass” sprinkles and delicious sauces to create their own ice cream treats.

A fantastic P7 leavers assembly with P7/6 receiving their ties!

This Friday was P7 leavers’ assembly and it was such a wonderful time to reflect, share and laugh,  as well as share a few happy tears along the way too! After opening speeches from our house captains,  parents, carers, family and friends enjoyed seeing the P7s’ fun  iMovie – I’m a P7 Get me out of here! Then it was time for the Oscars and baby photos, followed by a show stopping finale by the cast of this year’s show, Matilda.
Well done to Macy who won the Burngrange Award for superb efforts across the school and to Zuzanna and Raeya who won the Brooke Bagley Award for creative and expressive arts. The heartwarming assembly  was wrapped up with P6s receiving their P7 ties for next year. Well done everyone!
