A huge thank you to the parents and grandparents who were able to come along and support the children today. They were delighted to work with you and plant their seeds. We will watch them grow over the coming weeks and the children will bring them home before the Easter holidays. We hope you had a fun morning with us!
SHARING THE LEARNING IN PRIMARY 3!
Primary 1S have had a fun filled Book Day. We all found it super exciting coming to school in our pyjamas ☺️.
We have listened to authors read stories, made our own book covers and created our very own “potato” characters.
We also joined in the “Where’s Wally” hunt around the school with our Primary 7 Buddies.
To finish the day off we had hot chocolate and a story with our Primary 7 Buddies.
What a fantastic day celebrating books and reading 📖
What another fantastic week at cooking club. This week we were inspired by the story of “The Gingerbread Man” and made our very own Gingerbread Men.
We had lots of fun rolling the dough and cutting out our men then decorating them.
Whilst they cooked we listened to the story of The Gingerbread Man and had a sneaky sample of a shop Gingerbread Man.
What a day! Great fun was had by all in P3. We started our day by coming to school in our pyjamas – we could get used to this!
We did a reading doodle activity before putting our detective skills into action and setting off on a Where’s Wally picture hunt! Back in class we were joined by P4 and we all took part in a live World Book Day football quiz. Lots of schools across the country were taking part in this and we had to answer a series of questions from famous footballers.
Throughout the day we have done some paired reading, reading crosswords and word searches, designed book covers and took part in authors live (Scottish Book Trust) We watched and listened to Catherine Rayner who shared her picture book “Arlo: The Lion Who Couldn’t Sleep“, a beautiful story about finding peace and calm. Catherine also gave us a sneak peek at her sketchbook, and showed us step by step how to draw Arlo the lion. We had our pencils and paper at the ready!
In the afternoon we enjoyed Paired Reading with Primary 6 and we all enjoyed this and asked to do it again soon. Lots of us in Primary 3 brought in a book from home for the whole school book swap which will take place next week.
We will be bringing home a £1 book token home today which is valid to use until the end of March.
We love World Book Day!

Craft and construction club started last week and we are enjoying the freedom to be creative. We started with a Lent theme last week and moved onto Spring this week. We enjoy playing with the train track, Lego and blocks and we have enjoyed colouring and creating craft pictures. This week we made some Spring trees with blossoms. They will be beautiful when completed.
How can it possibly be March? The daffodils are appearing, the nights are lighter but the temperature has not changed just yet!
P2 have been learning about their local area on a map in connection to our Katie Morag project. We have compared homes on the Scottish Islands to our homes in Polbeth and the surrounding areas and we have explored both areas on a map. On a map of our local area:
Most were able to track their way home on the map thinking about the directions they took on their journey.
Elsewhere, standard of uniform and behaviour was impeccable today for our Lenten Mass with Father Marcin and St Thomas’s school. Absolute perfection and almost brought a tear to their teacher’s eye!
Oonagh and Jorja are celebrating special birthdays this weekend so it is party, party, party for the next few days!
Competition has been fierce during our maths games with Buzz being a particular favourite. Counting up in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s this week with a little support on the smart board has become extra competitive.
Finally, this smiley wee face has become a fully fledged member of the rainbows and is over the moon. Congratulations!
On Wednesday some primary 1 children attended the Stories a Rhyme club. We got to choose a teddy to sit with as we listened to and joined in with stories.
On Thursday we had Cooking club which some of us stayed after school for. This week we made a savoury treat. We talked about the difference between savour and sweet.
We made tasty 😋 pizza 🍕 we talked about who had pizza before and what toppings we like or would like to try.
Lots of skills were used and some of us couldn’t wait to eat out pizza, some of us took our pizza 🍕 home.
Primary 6 & 7 hosted a super Burns Supper in the dining hall today for parents and carers. After a welcome from the House Captains we kicked off with a song from P6 and poems from P7.
Next we enjoyed some live music and some pipes and drums before we addressed the haggis. After a feast of haggis, neeps and tatties followed by Irn Bru and shortbread, we heard poems from P6 and finished with the P7 song.
On display were our Robbie Burns information reports and portraits, as well as our tartan kilts.
It was a great turnout – thank you to all parents and careers who came along. Special thanks to Mrs Blair for playing the piano and to kitchen staff for making the afternoon possible by preparing such a lovely feast.
At St Mary’s we are very proud of Karlie, Jaxon, Bonnie and Jessica who made the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturday. It was a lovely service with Mass celebrated by Father Marcin. It was a very special night for the children and their families.
We had a party to celebrate this very special Sacrament. We had cake, sweets, dancing and games.
What a fantastic first week in Cooking 🧑🍳 Club.
We all worked very hard setting up our areas as well as helping to clear up. Some of us managed to try new things.
Lots of skills were used and we were able to take home a sweet treat.
