Lunch time leaders
Our upper school children have started to provide games at lunchtime to liven up and structure the children’s play times. This helps to keep all children active, safe and happy. Today was a great success and is helping to develop our young leaders in p6/7 with a variety of leadership skills and confidence through physical activity.
Curriculum cafe – Outdoor learning
Thank you to all our parents, carers and family members who visited our curriculum cafe this afternoon. We are committed to providing children with a wealth of learning experiences and we hope today we were able to showcase the variety of outdoor learning activities we have on offer at Woodmuir primary school. These sessions in school have helped to increase engagement in learning, encourage thinking, teamwork , resilience and creativity. The children sang beautifully and proudly represented our school. We greatly appreciated everyone who joined in today and participated in all the activities on offer.
Art Fridays
Today was our creativity art hour in class where we were learning about Corita Kent. We were learning about the impact of using different colour combinations and experimenting with colour layering and combining. Our creations are fabulous!

HWB mini champs meeting
This morning primary 7 had a meeting in the high school to share our views on ‘ belonging’ in our school. We had a few refreshments, met learners from other cluster schools and had the opportunity to discuss HWB initiatives we would like to see in happening.
P4~7 Building thinking classrooms
Today we worked on a problem solving activity called legs in the barn. We had to use our addition and multiplication strategies working with whole numbers and fractions. Lots of groups drew pictures, created a table or used the guess and check strategy.
P4-7 Writing
Today we continued on with our Persuasive writing. We were thinking about the key features of a speech today and we watched an informative speech from Greta Thunberg. Lots of great work was written today thinking about how we start off a powerful speech and what points we want to address.
P4-7 Literacy hour
Today we were working on our note taking skills ready to write our first persuasive letter tomorrow. We used safer internet day as our starting point as this assembly generated lots of super discussion. We talked about the online benefits as well as the negative points too and linked this lesson to our UNCRC weekly rights. Last week we used a key word notes page to research so this week we tried a mind map diagram to collect all of our ideas and evidence.
