it was Christmas party time in P3. We had so much fun. We enjoyed dancing the Grand Old Duke of York, the Hokey Cokey and the cha cha slide. We had fun playing pass the parcel and the corners game. We were very lucky to have a special visit from Santa who gave us all a lovely gift. We loved our treat of some party food and Gillespie’s ice-cream.
P6 are having a fun week. Today we enjoyed wearing our pyjamas to school. We started the day off with some fun Christmas literacy and then went to the hall to see who had won the Christmas Stem Competition! Well done to Bailey, Charlotte, Lacey, Colby and Jessica who won the clay competition. Next we played our football competition, with the Yellow Girls team winning 2-0 and the boys Reds winning 2-1. Finally we had a quick carol practise and then enjoyed our Secret Santa present giving! Well done Primary 6 – a fun start to a fun week.
Christmas is underway in Primary 3. It was Christmas jumper and Christmas lunch day. It was lovely to be served by the P7s. Some of us had steak pie and others had turkey. We all agree it was delicious. We spent the afternoon turning our cattle into a Christmas wonderland. We painted Santa and his sleigh, a gingerbread house, a snowman, candy canes and Elf!
Thanks to everyone who came along to our Christmas Fair last week. We still have some personalised items left , so please come along and have a look.
We have been very busy practising for our Nativity Concert and in between times doing lots of creative activities. Here we are designing and making dresses for our dolls.
Here we are painting our Christmas movie poster for the hall. You will spot it at the Nativity concert !
At Play Dough After School Club P1M and P1S made some amazing creations. What great imaginations we have !
To link in with Book Week Scotland P1M decorated wooden spoons to resemble book characters.
We had some great ideas – the witch from Room on the Broom, the caterpillar from The Hungry Caterpillar, a skeleton from Funnybones , Anna and Elsa from Frozen and Harry Potter !
The Christmas Workshop was in full swing, and our busy elves were working hard to make sure that our crafts were all finished for the Christmas Fayre on Saturday 2nd December in our school hall.
Come along and buy one of your little ones crafts, they had so much fun making them.
We also practised really hard for our Nativity show – It’s a Baby ! There were songs to learn and lots of things to remember , but we were just amazing – as usual ! Don’t forget to get your tickets !
Have a great weekend everyone.
We have been learning about division this week in Maths. We can recognise that division is the opposite of multiplication and understand division is splitting a number into equal groups. We have been applying this knowledge when completing 3 digit number divided by 2 digit number calculations. Division is tricky however we are finding strategies to help us before moving on to long division.
In literacy we have been working on our questioning skills for our reciprocal reading, creating quizzes on our non-fiction texts and quizzing our classmates. We have been completing our information report using evidence found online using our digital skills to help us. Our next steps will be to identify the sources of evidence and reference these in our work.
We have been getting into the Christmas spirit early this week by creating our Christmas crafts for the Christmas fayre next week. Keep an eye open for our handy Christmas baubles, they’re sure to sell out fast. We have enjoyed singing along to Christmas songs and can’t wait for more festivities.
P1 M had a brilliant time with their Buddies in P7 who were excellent in showing the P1’s how to play number games on laptops. P7 were super when explaining the games and P1 had such a great time they are looking forward to meeting up again.
This week was Book Week Scotland and P1 M received a free Book Bug Bag with books and pencils from The Scottish Book Trust. Mums , Dad’s and Carers were invited into school to enjoy reading some of the books and join in with activities about the books.
The children then enjoyed hot chocolate and biscuits. Thank you to the Scottish Book Trust for the wonderful gifts.
Some pupils in P1 M and P1S joined in with Playdough Club . They had great fun creating their own playdough, mixing it up , and talking about the colours, texture and the smell.

Have a great weekend !
Wow what another busy week we have had in Primary 5!
We have started our subtraction in numeracy and everyone has been putting in so much effort with our new topic! Keep it up!!
In writing, we were researching our own topic for our Information Reports using our class technology and will be writing our reports on Monday!
It was Book Week and we had lots of activities relating to this. We made book character wooden spoons and we may have contacted a couple of famous people to show them off to them!! Everyone did so well with this activity and all the spoons looked amazing!!!
It was also Catholic Education Week – ‘Pilgrims of Faith.’ Everyone researched a Saint they were interested in, some of the Saints were St Margaret, St Ninian, St John Ogilvie and St Bernadette. Everyone completed some great research and it was amazing to hear their different reasons for who they chose to look into. We then spent some time reading about St Margaret as the 16th of November is her Feast Day. We learned some very interesting facts!
Thanks for another amazing week P5!! Have a great weekend 🙂
What a quick week it’s been on Primary 7, although time does fly when you’re having fun…
This week in maths we have been consolidating our learning topic of multiplying a 3, 4 and even 5 digit number by a 2 digit number. We have been working well through our Math No Problem books and are looking forward to moving onto division next week.
In literacy, we have been gathering evidence to include in our own information report about animals, endangered, living or extinct which ties in nicely with our topic which we have partnered with 5 Sister Zoo where we are discussing various animals.
This week is anti-bullying week which made for some interesting discussions around relationships and safety. We looked at some agree or disagree situations where we were able to discuss our emotions and regulation strategies.
For world book day we created our favourite book characters on wooden spoons. Take a look at our work.
What a great week for Primary 7. It is a pleasure to teach everyone in this class. Keep up the good work.
