Primary 1

At the start of the week we enjoyed washing, peeling and chopping the vegetables we harvested from the school garden to make soup. We were all very careful when using the peelers and knife. After we got the vegetables ready we put them in a pot to make soup 🍲 In the afternoon we shared our soup with our P7 buddies during our Buddy Time. They helped us to butter our bread to dip in the soup,

During outdoor learning this week we explored the school outdoor classroom. Some of us made an obstacle course using our balance skills to walk over it. We loved exploring the toys out in the classroom and this gave us the opportunity to play outside without getting caught in the heavy rain.

 

Primary 1

In Primary 1 we have all been enjoying building, building with bricks, building with LEGO, building with boxes, we love creating things and decided that we would like to build with our Primary 7 buddies.

We have been learning all about our bodies and this week we were luck to have Dexter the Dentist Dragon 🐉 visit us. He showed us how to correctly clean our teeth 🦷. He was very  impressed with our teeth brushing at home.

During outdoor learning we took some animals up to the woodland area. Our job was to make a home for them, we all did very well. We then listened to a story about Spiders 🕷️.

On Friday we enjoyed fun 31 with Primary 2, some of us played bingo together.

Have a lovely

Primary 1

To kick start our week in Primary 1 we enjoyed a lovely session with our Primary 7 buddies. We made paper plate crafts. We had to work with our buddies to decide on what we wanted to do before making lots of lovely creations.

On Thursday Primary 1 walked up to the local woodland area where we thought about our senses. Together with Primary 2 we completed a survey, we had to think about what we could see 👀 hear 👂 and smell 👃. We had lots of fun enjoying nature.

We have all been enjoying building with the blocks, Lego and boxes, we have made some amazing creations.

On Friday we were all very respectful when attending the

 

Primary 3 – Friday 9th October 2026

Another busy week in Primary 3. We undertook stage 2 of our Egyptian mummy making and wrapped our mummies in bandages before covering in glue to make them hard on the outside. We are now waiting until they dry.

Our Building Thinking Classrooms task involved trying to solve a tricky problem using coloured cubes but with positive attitudes and some great teamwork we were able to come up with some interesting solutions.

On Thursday afternoon we ventured into the garden area with Mrs Ferguson only to be met with some upsetting news –  the slugs had munched their way through some of the lovely plants and flowers we had planted! There was nothing else for it but to plant some more so fingers crossed!

It was lovely to meet so many parents and carers at our Parental Consultations this week and be able to give such positive updates on our children in general and also on pupil learning. Thank you!

P4 Update 9.10.26

We enjoyed revising some key French phrases today including, saying hello, introducing ourselves and saying how we feel.  We enjoyed playing a dice game where we had to roll a number to determine our mood, then tell our partner in French with as much expression and drama as we could.  Have a great weekend.

A little primary 2 update!

We have had another busy week in Primary 2! As part of our topic work, we enjoyed visits from a nurse and dentist, who taught us all about keeping our bodies healthy and looking after our teeth.

In Numeracy, we started our new topic on position and movement. We had lots of fun racing toy cars and using vocabulary such as first, second, behind, beside, and in front of to describe where the cars were positioned.

During Outdoor Learning, we learned about the daffodil and explored how bulbs grow. We then planted our own daffodil bulbs and are excited to watch them grow and bloom in the months ahead!

Have a good weekend!

P5/4s week of learning

A great week in P5/4! We are working on description writing and are currently describing Halllowern. We are  also researching Romans using our laptops and have been learning about ecosystems.
we now have pet snails in class and will be learning about their safe ecosystem and what non living things they need to survive.

P5 also enjoyed a morning at West Calder High School playing dodgeball which was organised by a former pupil. Everyone had a great time! Well done everyone!

thelifeoftay!

Happy Thursday everyone!

It’s a bit chilly out but we are fully charged Taycells (other battery products are available!) enjoying every crisp moment…we like crisps…and crisp mornings.

Busy, busy…

P.E. – Even more popular than crisps. We love running, jumping and balancing.

Architects in the making…Through intensive interactions we have practiced our knowledge of symmetry and balance in our constructions. Good job done!

Sensory….We made our own slime pool…such fun!…and then quite a challenge to be free of!

 

Wednesday mornings P7

We are loving our Wednesday mornings in P7.
Some of us have a block of swimming lessons at St Margaret’s Academy. We are loving  using the floats,, jumping in and swimming under the water to collect the rings. We have been focusing on using our legs and kicking with more strength. We really enjoy playing games such as tig, we have been doing handstands, backflips and front flips.

The rest of us in school have been very busy. We have made delicious apple crumble for everyone to enjoy.

This week we spent our morning outside. We played at the park for a while and then walked up to the forest. We played tig and climbed trees. Some of us made drums using large logs and sticks. We enjoyed our time out in the lovely Autumn weather.

Sharing our learning in P6

In primary 6 this week we have spent a lot of time sharing our learning. Both with each other and with our adults who came to visit us on Friday.

We have been sharing our work on our chosen planet with each other which has allowed us to practice our presenting skills as well as working on being a quality audience.

 

We were also able to welcome our adults into the classroom as we chose our new class novel. We were looking at information we could gather from a book before we read it. We then all had a chance to vote for our favourite, before writing to persuade others to pick our choice.

 

It has been another good (albeit short) week in primary 6.
