On Tuesday P1M and our P7 Buddies had a great time making bird feeders and then taking them into the woods near the school to hang them up for the birds to eat.
Primary 1S Edinburgh Castle 🏰 trip
Wow what a great first trip at school Primary 1S had! We all sat very well on the bus and we managed to sing a few songs and play I 🕵️ spy.
We had lots of fun exploring the castle, first stop was the cannons! We were amazed at the size of the cannon balls.
We enjoyed looking at the crown 👑 jewels, the war memorial, the castle prison and much more.
We also participated in the animal safari where we had lots of fun finding animals in shields and statues.
Primary 5 this week…
It’s been very busy again in Primary 5 this week!!
We have been working really hard on our new Numeracy topic ‘Decimals’ in preparation for starting our Money topic after the Easter holidays. Decimals has been a challenge but we’re doing really well with it.
In Literacy some of our reading groups started new books – Rockets started ‘The Iron Man’ and Shooting Stars started ‘Paradise High.’ The Crazy Craters are nearly finished ‘The BFG’ and the Astronauts are nearly finished ‘James and the Giant Peach’ so both of those groups will be getting new books before Easter too.
It was Science Week so to celebrate we completed the Tower Challenge! You have to build a tower using only once piece of paper and nothing else. Using different strategies such as cutting, slotting, folding and rolling the winning group built their tower 61.5cm high!
We worked in teams to complete this challenge and everyone showed amazing school values throughout.
We were also told about ‘St Mary’s Got Talent’ taking place on Thursday 28th of March before we split up for the Easter Holidays. We decided on our groups and what our acts are going to be for the talent show. We are going to be practicing a couple of times a week before the show and we are all really excited!
Finally, we had Parents’ Evening this week and it was lovely to see so many of you, and catch up! Everyone has been working really, really hard throughout Primary 5 and I am so proud of all of the pupils in class!
Have a great weekend everyone…see you next week!
P2 Update 15.3.24
Another week in folks. It has been a busy one! Today we were learning about the different ways in which land is used in Scotland and how important each of these areas are. We also recreated some of them using a variety of materials. We loved getting creative.
We also spent a wonderful afternoon with Gary from the Singing Kettle. He was fantastic and we loved every minute.
Just a few pics from last week’s World book day and Sharing the learning…
Have a great weekend.
P1 Cooking 🧑🍳 Club
Savoury week in cooking club for our P1 group.
We made sausage rolls. Some of us found it strange touching the sausage meat but we all tried really hard. Once we got our meat into a sausage shape we wrapped it in pasty and glazed them before putting them in the oven to cook.
Some of us couldn’t resist a little nibble before we got them home.
P3 pupil leading our learning
As our IDL topic this term is The Human Body we are looking at the skeleton and internal organs. Bonnie taught us about 1 major organ, the pancreas. Bonnie had some books which taught us all about the pancreas and diabetes. She had her little teddy, Ruffles who has diabetes and she used him to show where he can have his injections and blood checked. We were very interested and enjoyed learning from Bonnie, we asked lots of great questions. Thank you Bonnie.

Primary 1S Sharing our learning
Primary 1S had a lovely morning sharing our learning with some of our adults. This time we focused on our Maths and Numeracy skills. We completed worksheets showcasing what we could do as well as have time to play some math games, board games and online.
This was a great opportunity to introduce our adults to Sumdog and we all went home with our home learning codes.
After all this we even managed to fit in some play with younger siblings and adults.
Thank you, parents, from Primary 3!
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!

To finish the day off we had hot chocolate and a story with our Primary 7 Buddies.
