Primary 1 and Primary 2 are now winter ready.
P6 St. Andrew’s Day Reflections
Getting Creative with Displays…
In P6 we are all getting more involved with the creation of our displays. Many of us suggested seeing our learning, events and activities in class would add an interesting and fun feature to our classroom environment. We have chosen key photos from Term 1 and 2 and are starting to add them to our class ‘Photo Gallery’ … we’re so excited to keep adding to it as the year goes on.
Zander and Callum designed the layout of our gallery… have a look next time you’re walking by P6B!
Here’s a taste of just some of the photos from our Class Photo Gallery…
… Afterall…

P4 #PrayforParis
Primary 4 have been thinking about the people of Paris this week. We have watched and discussed some Newround video clips. We have been thinking about what we would like to say to the children of Paris. Some of our messages include: We are always there for you. Keep going, never give up. Keep calm, everything will be OK. You shouldn’t have to go through this. Don’t be worried and don’t be scared. Be brave and stay safe.
Primary 3/2, 2 and 2/1 are learning about Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!
Mr Minute is looking for workers in his factory so we found out what jobs would be needed to run a factory. After that we decided which job we would like to do and filled out a job application. Fingers crossed!
We helped Mr Minute design his factory floor plan so he will know where everything will go. In Writing we all wrote a letter to Mr Minute telling him that we would love to help him with his factory.
Nursery – week beginning 16th November
This week some children have chosen to further explore the concept of outer space where lots of pictures were made of the planets, stars and the moon. The children have also enjoyed playing in our space rocket and having fruit rockets for snack! The idea of space has taken us back to thinking about the concept of ‘Dark’. Our children had the opportunity to re-visit the talking tub and through using the floor book, identified some new ideas- ‘What can help us keep safe in the dark?’ The ideas of torches, reflective jackets, street lights were just some of the ideas. We will continue to build on these lines of thinking in our activities next week.
We have continued to practise our songs and words for the nativity. Our percussion instruments are also in the nursery and the children have been playing along with parts of our songs. Please continue to practise any spoken parts with the children. We will be starting to organise the costumes. The majority of costumes are already in school and we will send out a letter to any roles that may need a specific item of clothing to be brought from home.
Out in the garden, the children have been enjoying experimenting with different materials in our mud kitchen. We have also been exploring dams through filling piping with stones and watching to see how much water passes through. We are hoping to design a wall mounted science station for investigating water flow.
We have also been really busy with creating our Christmas art for the big gym hall. The children chose to design Olaf from Frozen. We used lots of cotton wool, glitter, recycled shredded paper and felt.
We have also started to prepare for Road Safety week with children using the road signs whilst playing on the bikes and scooters. We will be using the floorbook to further share our ideas.
Themes for next week:
Road Safety
Book week
Outer-space/dark
General Housekeeping
•Please ensure your child has a full change of clothing in their gym bags as a variety of accidents can happen where a change is required.
•As the weather becomes colder and quite changeable, can all children please dress appropriately for the weather.
•ALL clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled as we have had a few items of clothing and footwear being mixed up.
P4 Anti-Bullying Posters
In P4 we have been learning about bullying and how to deal with it if it happens to you or someone you know. We have made posters about this. We have also been thinking about how we can be kind to others. We have been playing a kindness game where we have been trying to achieve personal targets for being kind.
Anti-Bullying Week in P5
This week in Primary 5 we have been talking about how to ‘make a noise about bullying’.
We wrote our own anti-bullying message on a speech bubble and the took a selfie!!!
Here are some of our messages.
P6 Skiing – Oh what FUN!
#PrayforParis
After the events in Paris last weekend P7 pupils were given the opportunity to ask questions and discuss anything they knew or had heard/read in the news around this. P7 watched a video clip on BBC Newsround about how countries all over the world have showed support to the people of Paris by lighting up iconic buildings in the colours of the French flag – blue, white and red. Pupils discussed the impact on both the people of Paris and the world. Primary 7 dealt with this in a very open and mature way and were encouraged to ask questions they may have.
