Bake sale Fundraiser
Our bake sale on Friday 2nd of November raised a whopping £151.80 to help us invest in resources to develop the nursery.
We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took time to donate some delicious baking for us to sell, and to everyone who donated to our total! We especially want to thank those parents and family members who took on a leading role in organising and running the event. We are so impressed with what we have raised so far and really appreciate all your support!
Happy Diwali!
This week we have been learning all about the Hindu celebration of Diwali. We have been busy making diyas and designing our own rangoli patterns out of glitter. Today one of our families came in to share the Diwali story, answer our questions about how Diwali is celebrated, and share their traditions during the festival of light.
Our Week in P5F
Written by: Joseph & Logan
In Primary 5 we made some yucky poo and a digestive system. This was part of our topic work in the The Body.
Our new topic for this term is Scottish history and we have chosen to learn about Mary Queen of Scots.
Class Teacher: Miss Prentice
Welcome to the P7P class page! We hope you enjoy sharing our learning experiences!
Our Week in P5M
Written by: Isabella and Alfie
P5M have been learning about the digestive system. We made fake poo(!) out of bananas, crackers, water and orange juice. There were three groups constipation, normal and diarrhoea. We had to vary the amount of liquid we added to each to achieve a different consistency. The next step was to squeeze our mixture through a pair of tights, which represented our intestines. We had a great time but it was also very unpleasant!
Our Week in P7B
Written by: Lucy K & Lucy W
P7B are learning about the culture of Diwali. We loved learning about the story of Diwali, especially the story of Rama and Sita.
Lottie and Ingrid came to our school and showed us how to make masks and we decorated them. Thank you so much for your help! We got to be very creative by making masks similar to those that can be seen in the Diwali Parade in Edinburgh, on Saturday 3rd November. We had lots of fun doing this activity. They were so colourful and shiny.
HAPPY DIWALI!!!!!!!!
Our Week in P6
Written by: Ayaan, Gene & Rory
In P6 we have been going to swimming lessons at James Gillespie’s High School.
In maths, we have been learning about angles and compass points.
We have been focusing on Bible stories and doing worksheets on the stories to test our knowledge in R.M.E. We made monkey masks for Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light.
In German we have been learning the alphabet and playing games to help us memorise the letters.
On Monday we had a taster of American football and we learnt how to catch an American football correctly.
Our Week in P3/4
Written by: Jordan
In P3/4 we have been learning about electricity and we made models which contained working circuits. We first got loads of boxes and stuck them together and then added our light bulb circuits. Next we covered the boxes in pieces of newspaper by dipping the paper in glue and sticking it on. Then we put a coating of white paint over the paper and we waited for it to dry. After a few days, the last step was to paint over the white paint. We haven’t quite finished yet but we still got a lot done because Mrs Denvir helped. It was really fun.
Our Week in P4
Written by: Finlay
Last Friday we had a Halloween party at school, organised by our PTA. It was so much fun and we played lots of different games.
Now we are busy doing things for the Christmas Fair as part of our enterprise topic! It is very fun but we need to keep it a secret just now. Watch this space for further clues as the Fair date approaches – Friday 7th December.
