P1b read a non- fiction book, all about how to make a scarecrow.
Then we made our own Scarecrows.

P5 Celebrate Burns Day
In Primary 5, we enjoyed researching and making our own family tartan for our Burn’s display.
We enjoyed the Burns Assembly and the yummy shortbread.
We enjoyed learning and reciting our Burn’s poem ‘Up in the Morning Early’. We liked practicing our best Scottish accents!
We were happy for the afterschool clubs to start up this week. We loved the Multi-sports club.

Terrific Tartan in P1A
This week P1A have been painting tartan as they celebrated Burns Day. They used different colours and vertical and horizontal stripes to create it.

P4/5 Welcome to the Woods
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!
P4/5 Managing our Emotions
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.
Outdoor Learning with P4/5
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!

Primary 7 Camp – Day 5
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!
Primary 7 Camp – Day 4
What another fun filled day for our Primary 7’s. Today we took part in a nature scavenger hunt where there was a big race to find a squirrel! We then had a picnic for our lunch out at the trim trail… Mr Abbott and I really enjoyed having our lunch with you all!
In the afternoon, we spent time out on the field taking part in different sports activities and ended the afternoon with an ice pole to cool down in the lovely sunshine! 😊
Thank you for all of the fun Primary 7!
Primary 7 Camp – Day 2
What another fun filled day our Primary 7’s have had at their school camp. This morning we made a fire and toasted marshmallows. Some of our marshmallows were on the burnt side but super goooey inside… Yummy!
We then got into our PJ’s for a movie afternoon. During our movie afternoon, we had a surprise visit from an ice cream van in our school car park. Check out our photos below!
Our camp leaders at the end of today are… dorm 1 with an amazing 25 points. Well done to Willow, Peyton, Grace, Emily, Marwa and Molly!
