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.
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!

Last week we looked at the biodiversity of our woods. We found many plants and insects living there, so this week we took on the challenge of creating some bug homes/hotels for the wide variety of minibeasts inhabiting the area and to attract many more, using only resources we found in the woods.
When creating our homes and hotels we made sure to think about the conditions and requirements for the bugs – dark, wet, well concealed, access to food, etc.
The minibeasts moved in quickly!
Primary 4/5 have been developing their own strategies to help them identify and regulate their emotions, after being inspired by Virginia Ironside’s “Huge Bag of Worries”.
P4/5 made their own worry monsters to keep with them at all times so that they are able to acknowledge, express and let go of their anxieties as the monster will listen to, gobble up and hug away their worries.
We discussed other ways of sharing and releasing our worries, we reminded ourselves of our trusted adults to talk to, using music and meditation to relax and the one strategy we really enjoyed was imagining our worries inside a bubble, blowing them away and watching them float off into the sky.
We had such a fun morning in P4/5 this morning. We took our art out to the wooded area of our playground and used the materials and resources that we found there to create some fantastic pieces of art!

Today was our final day of school camp in Primary 7!
It’s been a great final day celebrating all that we have achieved, and celebrating our camp winners… Dorm 5. Well done to Ellie-Nicole, Elly, Lily and Myah. 👏🏼⭐️
We then had a special delivery from Inveralmond to end our camp week on a real high… Our pupils going to Inveralmond now have their school ties!
I asked our Primary 7s what they enjoyed most about our camp week today… Here are some of their responses:
“The whole entire first day… I just had so much fun” – Ryan B
“The whole of Tuesday. Toasting marshmallows, an ice cream van and a movie… It was just so much fun!” – Lily
“Den building was my favourite because it was really fun to make with my friends” – Emily
”Toasting marshmallows because I’ve never done that before” – Kacey
“I enjoyed the whole week. Every night I had something exciting to share when I went home” – Vilte
Mr Abbott and I have had a blast too. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories Primary 7!
