Scottie Dugs Sewing

Primary 6 continued the celebration of all things Scots in Art and Design with Mrs Fox this week by creating some wonderful and wacky Scottie dugs.

The children chose their favourite patterned fabric with a plain coordinating colour.  Then using a template, they pinned and cut the material.  Finally they used an over-stitch to attach both pieces together.

Next steps will be:

  • To stuff the dugs and add a ribbon so they can be displayed.
  • Personalise the design by adding our own choice of embellishments.

So many skills squeezed into one learning opportunity!

STEM Construction Challenge

Children in our P1-3 department have been thoroughly enjoying taking part in a range of construction based challenges this week! These challenges have been collaborative, motivating and above all FUN! We have had to learn how to co-operate in mini teams, problem solve, persevere and express our own ideas using a wide range of practical materials! Here are a few snapshots of Primary 3/2 in action…with a couple of sneaky P7s who wanted in on the building site action!  Oh and Ms Elder who was instructed by the Site Manager to wear her hard hat and high viz waistcoat before she could pass through 🙂

P1 and P2/1 Christmas Party


We were so excited today when Santa joined us for our Christmas party! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to pop along to see us Santa! We were worried you wouldn’t manage to park your sleigh in our car park but good job you’ve done this kind of thing a few times before and knew to just park your reindeer on the roof! This year Santa requested a song from us as he’d heard our amazing Nativity and knew we all loved to sing! The children opted for jingle bells – perfect!
