Playground Fun
We have been working to make our playground areas fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff have been leading games and activities with our children and we have seen such a positive impact. The pupils are engaged, helping each other, using their imaginations and becoming more independent in leading these activities themselves.
Our playgrounds are such positive places to be!
National Numeracy Day
As part of National Numeracy Day on 18th May children from P2/3, P3, P4/5, P6, P7/6 and P7 took part in an Official World Record Attempt for the most participation and views of Rolling Numbers Livestream. We managed to break the record and 5, 362 schools took part. Well done!
We also took part in Numbers and dancing with Katya Jones, where we learned dynamite dance moves. We had to keep count of the steps . It was great fun.  We ​thought about what we would like to be when we grow up and how we would use numbers in that job. We created pictures of us doing our dream job or hobby and how it uses numbers.
We had a great day.
Safer Internet Week
Safer Internet Day was officially on Tuesday 8th February this week, however we wanted to celebrate this for the whole week.
Across our classes this week pupils were learning more about staying safe online, particularly around this year’s theme, ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’. The Digital Leaders set assignments on TEAMS and SEESAW for everyone to complete.
Digital Leaders shared online safety posters with each class to display in their ICT area. and at assembly they also shared their next exciting digital challenge for our learners – task focusing on staying safe online. This competition is going to be our biggest yet, with a very exciting prize!

Primary 4 and their Pictish Diet
P4 having been looking at Pictish foods as part of their IDL topic this term.
We decided to try our hand at making butter by using ancient technologies. After we had made it, we all had chance to taste some along with oatcakes, another staple of the Pictish diet.
The oatcakes and butter were delicious
P2/3 Dazzling Designers
This week in P2/3 the children were learning to design their own tartan as part of Burns day.
We discussed the role of a designer and why planning our ideas is important. We also discussed the importance the task and building our creativity skills.
Once they designed their own tartan, P2/3 had the opportunity to create it, using a variety of materials chosen by them.
P7 Take on Tam!
Tuesday was a day to celebrate Robert Burns!
In P7, we read Tam O’Shanter. We discussed the language in the poem and it’s meaning.
We recorded each other reciting the poem, created a QR code and displayed them in the hall for everybody in the school to enjoy!
Learning How To Build A Scarecrow
P1b read a non- fiction book, all about how to make a scarecrow.
Then we made our own Scarecrows.
