Wow 🤩 what an amazing first week in Primary 1!
All the boys and girls have settled in well to school and are gaining confidence when going for break and lunch with the other boys and girls.
We have been learning our school values and that we all have rights. We all used our finger prints and hand prints to agree to try our best to show our school values, and remind us of our rights.
We are all looking forward to lots of learning and playing this year.
🎉 Welcome Back, Everyone! 🎉
A new school year means new adventures, new friends, and exciting things to learn! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be getting into our classroom routines so we know just what to do each day. We created our new door design with Mrs. Saunders, and went over our class/school values, that we will uphold this year. Both, Mrs Saunders and Ms. Fox can’t wait to laugh, learn, and make this our best year in St. Mary’s yet! 🚍✏️📚📘
Welcome Back! 📚✏️🚍📘
We’re excited to begin a new school year together! As we settle in, we’ll be building our classroom routines so that everyone knows what to expect and feels confident each day. A special welcome to our new student Jack —you’re joining a caring, hardworking class, and we can’t wait to learn and grow alongside you. Let’s make this year one filled with curiosity, kindness, and success!
We have enjoyed a lovely first few days together as the Tay Class of 2025-2026.
We have already enjoyed many new experiences with each other and look forward to many, many, more as our year unfolds…We hope that you can join us along the way!
Well what an amazing year we had together 😀 and we are all looking forward to being Primary 2’s in August 🎉
This week we have enjoyed a whole school water fight, a chance to celebrate mass in the church, Primary 7 leavers assembly, class party and so much more! I think it’s safe to say we are ready to have a break and recharge for the new school year!
We should all be super proud of everything we have achieved this year, Miss Stenhouse and Mrs Kennedy are definitely proud of everyone .
We would like to wish our Primary 7 buddies the best of luck at high school, we have enjoyed your friendship this year, it has made our first year of school even better 😀
At the start of the week we had a buddies fun afternoon in the trim trail when we cooked snacks and danced around.
Have a lovely summer break everyone 🤩
Over the last 2 weeks, as part of a whole school topic, P2 have been learning all about recycling. ♻️
P5 were delighted to win a prestigious award for literacy this week. In January, we did a lot of literacy work on our Scots Poetry topic including writing a biography of Rabbie Burns, learning and reciting his poems, creating our own Scots poems and hosting a Burn supper for parents. We met benchmarks across reading, writing and listening and talking.
P5 won the bronze award for second level, which was presented to the class by Mark Neil, West Lothian’s Education Officer.
Superb work Primary 5!
The scientists from the University of Edinburgh were back in P5 this week sharing our results from our DNA experiment. Well done to everyone! We discovered that it’s easier to extract DNA from strawberries than it is from grapes.
Our experiment was part of their research into DNA and will be published in a forthcoming scientific journal.
What a busy week we have had in Primary 1.
On Monday we made cakes 🧁, we had to use lots of skills, measuring, mixing as well as working as part of a group.
On Tuesday we planned, prepared and had a class party 🎉 we decided what games to play, music and talked about what makes a good party 🥳 It was lots of fun.
On Wednesday we had our school trip to Mill Farm. We all had a great time looking at all the animals, having a picnic lunch and playing at the parks. On Thursday, in class, we wrote about our trip and what our favourite animal was.
Have a lovely weekend 😀
Primary 2 have had a busy but brilliant week!
We finished off our money topic by finalising our understanding of ‘change’ through our very own shop! We made 50p in different ways, using different coins and purchased our sweeties, working out the change we should receive. Everyone did brilliantly! 🍬
As part of our recycling topic, we created our own bins and compost. We learned what the different colours means and why it is important to separate our rubbish. We also have been using our compost bin in the dining hall! ♻️
We, of course, we had our trip to Mill Farm! We had an amazing day exploring the parks and saying hi to all the animals! It was such a lovely day altogether ☀️🐖🐑🌳
