We love movement in Lomond class and are enjoying building movement breaks and movement in our learning throughout each day.
Primary 3 – Friday 25th September 2026
Primary 3 received a lovely gift this week – a copy of the newly released “Gruffalo Granny”, by Julia Donaldson – from Mrs Topping’s mum! We loved reading it and we will keep it in our story corner so that we can read it by ourselves.
This week in Health and Well Being Primary 3 have been learning about friendship and what qualities make a good friend. We talked about what ingredients we would add to make “Friendship Soup”. We are now going to do some art work to add to our Health and Well Being wall display.
We enjoyed the “Big Breakfast” on Friday where we were joined by lots of parents and carers. Then we had “Sharing our Learning”, where parents and carers had the opportunity to visit our classroom to share what we are learning about in Literacy. We did lots of activities linked to the book, “Harry and His Bucketful of Dinosaurs”. Thank you to everyone who came along!
Primary 1
Primary 1 have been learning about the. Hangers in the seasons and what happens when we move from summer to autumn 🍂.
We had a lovely local walk where we collected fallen leaves 🍂. We took them back to the classroom to press them before turning them into artwork…watch this space.
We then had a lovely trip to the park with Primary 2. We loved playing on the equipment with our friends.
On Friday we all enjoyed our Big Breakfast 🥞 and Sharing our Learning with some of our adults. We loved showing the adults what we have been learning.
Have a lovely weekend 😊
P2 have had lots of fun learning this week!
In P.E. we explored the game of tennis and the skills required to play the game with a racket and tennis ball. A lot of concentration!
We wrapped up warm and joined P1 for an autumn adventure, exploring on our walk, visiting the park and getting creative with some autumn artwork.
We finished our week with a brilliant Friday! After enjoying our Big Breakfast, our grown-ups joined us for Sharing Our Learning. We proudly showed them some of our literacy work and talked about what we had been learning. We then became writing partners and created some writing together – we even received lovely feedback from our grown ups about our fantastic sentences.
P5/4’s busy week
P5/4 have been very busy this week! We have come to the end of our mini topic on myths and legends and this week found out about Narcissus, the Knights of the Round Table and King Midas. To end the topic we researched our own myth of interest and wrote about that. Next week’ we will start our new topic; Romans.
In numeracy we have moved onto the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
In guided reading we are doing extremely well on the core principles of summarising, predicting, questioning and clarifying.
Also this week we have been learning to describe ourselves in French and in Science we are moving onto ecosystems, and will be getting pet snails in class.
Finally we have been enjoying some mystery box challenges to hone our sharing and taking turns and listening/talking skills.
Next week we will also start Show and Tell Thursdays as well as our usual Techy Thursday afternoons where we hone our laptop skills.
Superb work all round!
thelifeoftay!
Welcome back! A short week in the world of SuperTay – but what a busy one!
Some of us have begun reading books in the course of our Literacy classes and have powered on with our blending of sounds to build our skillsbase!
In our Numeracy and Beyond Number work we are learning to recognise 2D shapes and how to build number bonds with Numicon.
With the start of Autumn, we have also broken open our wellies and suitably suited and booted have splish-splashed our way through our time outside.
We have made jellyfish in our Art & Craft lesson and eaten lots of jelly at lunch time…We love lunch time! We have also played with slimy pasta and jelly…a new combination!
P4 music 🎶
P4 had a fantastic time during our music lesson this week, exploring rhythm, beat and sound using boomwhackers! We worked together to follow different rhythms and listened carefully to one another as we created music as a class. Everyone had lots of fun experimenting with the different sounds and developing our confidence, listening and teamwork skills. We are looking forward to seeing what we can create in our next music session! 🎵🌟
Beyond Primary 6
This week in Primary 6 we have been continuing our exploration of our solar system. Everybody within primary six has chosen their favourite planet to research and teach the rest of the class about. We have all enjoyed finding facts about our chosen planet as well as listening to others in our class teach us about their planets. We have only just started presenting our findings but the standard so far has been excellent, it will be interesting to see what more we can learn next week.
We were all excited for the September weekend. Enjoy your weekend everybody.
P4 Update
There was some wonderful discussion going on during Building Thinking classrooms this week. We saw lots of different strategies being implemented, some successful, some not quite! But it’s the journey that’s important here, not the destination!
We have enjoyed learning a little bit about the Five Sisters and why they are there. We used them as inspiration for our descriptive writing.
Have a lovely long weekend.
Primary 3 – Friday 18th September
This week Primary 3 have been creating a timeline for Ancient Egypt by travelling in our very own Time Machine! We visited the year most of us were born, 2019, before a whistle stop tour of WWII, the Victorian Era, the Vikings and Ancient Greece and Rome before landing in Ancient Egypt over 3000 years ago.
We also created beautiful and ornate Egyptian collars with Mrs Ferguson as part of our IDL topic.
In French we have been playing a board game and asking each other “Ca va?” and trying our best to respond in French by saying how we are feeling.
We all had our first successful session within our school Committees this week and we look forward to meeting each month to suggest improvements, experience leadership roles as well as to represent pupil voices in our chosen area.
We continued to improve our descriptive writing where we had the opportunity to write about a friend using lots of ambitious vocabulary and interesting adjectives. Mrs Topping was very impressed with the pieces of writing we produced. Well done Primary 3!!
