We are thrilled to share the news that Ethan, p3, has received a ‘Special Merit’ for his delightful image of a hungry and rather mischievous cat! Ethan’s work was created with black felt pen and a wash of water. He has been invited to attend a prizegiving ceremony at the Modern Art Gallery next month, where his work will be exhibited from May 28-Sept 15.
Congratulations Ethan – there were over 8000 entries so this is an amazing achievement!
We have been lucky to have two tiny visitors in the nursery this week! We have been joined by two of our families to help us learn about how to look after a baby. The children were all full of questions for our baby visitors and we all learned lots thanks to the knowledge shared by their siblings (and parents). To thank our visitors for coming in we sang them their favourite nursery rhymes.
Welcome to the P4F class page! We hope you enjoy sharing our learning experiences!
We have started our new topic and we are learning about Energy. We have been learning about all the different types of energy; wind, solar, hydro, electric, petrol, kinetic, nuclear, chemical, heat, muscular, and potential energy. We are learning how energy changes from one kind to another. We will also be finding out how energy is created and we are hoping to try making some wind turbines in class.
In our Maths work we are learning about money. We are learning to add up coins, working out change and show different ways to make small sums of money. We have a shop set up in the class and we are using it to help us give the right change.
All P4’s are taking part in national assessments this month. We have to do 3 tests – Numeracy, Reading and Writing. All P4 children in Scotland are taking the same test and the results will help us know how we are getting on compared to other schools.
Just a reminder about Accelerated Reader. We would like children to be completing a book every couple of weeks please.
Today our afternoon class got the chance to visit Gorgie Farm to help support their learning about new life and what animals need to grow and thrive. The children had a fantastic time interacting with the smaller farm inhabitants during our cuddle corner session. They got to hold and stroke a snake, tortoise, guinea pig, bearded dragon and more. Afterwards they explored the farm, fed the cows, and had fun in the play park before heading back to nursery.
Our morning nursery class had a animaltastic day at Gorgie Farm this week. As part of our visit we were learning about what animals need to grow and observing the difference between baby and adult animals. During our visit the children enjoyed interacting with different animals, especially the sheep. They got to feed the sheep and meet the newborn lambs before enjoying a sheepfilled story in the sunshine.
Many pupils across the school created entries for this year’s Fringe Poster Competition. Congratulations to Harry p2/3, Sadie p2/3 and Parth p4M whose work was shortlisted and will be exhibited in the Fringe Poster Exhibition at Dynamic Earth. The free exhibition will be on view at Dynamic Earth from 22 May to 27 August.

This week in nursery we have been learning lots about spring time and Easter. We have searched for signs of spring, talked about who celebrates Easter and why it is a special day, made Easter bonnets and painted eggs. To finish our busy week we took part in an egg hunt out in the forest.
The children were excellent explorers and helped each other to gather all the eggs. They identified the numbers on the eggs, put them into numerical order and also sorted them by colour. Great searching everyone!
P6R had a fantastic day at the Museum on the Mound on 8th March, learning all about the history of money and how our money is kept secure. They really enjoyed all the activities and handling old forms of money. A highly recommended trip.
Welcome to the P5 class page! We hope you enjoy sharing our learning experiences!
