Writing in Primary 1

On Thursday 15th of June, both Primary 1 classes were sprinkled with some magic dust and magically shrunk to the size of a mouse. The children then explored the school grounds as miniature versions of themselves. They fell down cracks, climbed trees and met new creatures. All the children then went on to write imaginatively about their adventure. 

Nursery Trip – Five Sisters Zoo

As part of nursery to Primary 1 transition, the pre-school children took part in a trip to The Five Sisters Zoo. They all had a wonderful time with their parents and carers. They explored the Zoo, learned about the animals and made some new friends. The adults and children all had a roar of a time. All of our children have now built confidence and resilience in preparation for Primary 1 in August.

P4K’s Visit to Jamie’s Italian

On Tuesday 6th June Primary 4K visited Jamie’s Italian restaurant in Edinburgh. The visit was organised as part of our Food for Thought programme. When we arrived we made focaccia which we garnished with tomatoes, olives and fresh basil leaves. While our bread was baking we made fresh spaghetti nests then we ate lovely bowls of fresh pasta with a tomato and garlic sauce. Sonja, Krystyna, Janka and Chef Richie were fabulous, they explained all about the vegetables they used and we even had a quiz. We all had a great time learning all about Italian cookery before taking our spaghetti nests and focaccia home for an Italian feast.
Thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome.
