The pupils in P2/3 were delighted to be given fruit for their art lesson from the school dinner ladies! The pupils enjoyed the opportunity to observe the fruit closely, describing the colours and shapes they could see. They also thought about where to place the fruit and how to draw objects which are behind and on top of each other.
Lynn and Andrea, two of our dinner ladies, came in to class to watch the pupils at work. They were very impressed with the results!
Welcome to the P7 class page! We hope you enjoy sharing our learning experiences!
Primary 7 have been working in business groups to complete a challenge set by Alan Sugar. We have been challenged to advertise and promote a cereal bar to elite athletes by creating a Billboard, TV advert and packaging.
This week, we have tested the product and spent some time researching the impact of the product’s ingredients on the body. The product we are advertising is high in cereals and sugar so would give us a boost of energy. We then worked independently to generate ideas of names for the product. Back in our business group, we had to explore the views of everyone in our business and agree on three possible names.
Now we need to do some market research to find out what athletes think of the names we have created. We have generated good questions to gather the opinions of our target audience. We are going to use Twitter to conduct our market research! We are looking forward to seeing which athletes reply!
Hi everyone and welcome to P4M!
We had a very exciting start to P4 and look forward to sharing some of our work with you.
We started with a mini topic based on the Jacqueline Wilson book ‘The Worry Website’. We learnt who we can talk to if we have worries, and we even have a worry box in the classroom where we can share anything we are worried about with our teachers.
Now we are working on a literacy topic based on a book. We had a class vote and have decided on ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. We are looking at setting and characters in the book and will be comparing them to some parts of the film.
We really enjoyed our visit to the book festival. We thought the 2 authors we met (Ian Billings and Chris White) were hilarious!
Our new Home Learning is underway and we hope you are enjoying the mix of activities. The next full set of home learning will be available on the website from Tuesday 19th September.
If you have any questions – please get in touch!
The pupils in P6 are currently learning about ‘Plant Life’. In Art and Design they have been inspired by the work of several artists including Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh and Georgia O’Keeffe. They have been exploring the properties of different media to create their own botanical studies.
Primary 6M have settled back into school and have been getting to know Ms McKay. We have been working on our novel study ‘The Girl of Ink and Stars’ by Kiran Milllwood Hargrave (a new children’s author). It is about an adventurous young girl who dreams of exploring the island Joya that she lives on. It is a tale of mystery and myth and finding out who we can be when we face our fears.
In numeracy we are learning about place value and using large numbers in real life contexts. We are also discussing and investigating the properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects, nets and angles.
We have been exploring plant life and using different media in art to create pictures of flowers and plants.
To develop our health and wellbeing we have been focussing on the topic resilience and have been playing invasion games and badminton. We are looking forward to our swimming next week.
Primary 5 has settled well into the new academic year.
Our first topic is Mary Queen of Scots and we plan to visit Holyrood Palace to learn more about her life there and have a chance to dress up in clothes of that era.
We very much enjoyed our trip to the Book Festival where we saw Chloe Daykin and Maz Evans ‘From Real to Surreal’. They inspired us to be more creative and we are thoroughly enjoying our Big Writing where we are producing very descriptive and atmospheric stories focusing on VCOP to ‘up-grade’ our writing.
However, our biggest excitement this term is winning the Mixed Touch Rugby Tournament at Murrayfield Stadium on 11th September.
I am very much looking forward to working with this lovely class and the work we are going to do this year.

Hi everyone and welcome to P4F!
We have had a busy start to the year and we look forward to sharing our work with you. We will try to post news and photos on our page at least once a month.
In our Topic work we have been learning about worries and how to deal with them. Our unit of work has been based around the book “The Worry Website” by Jacqueline Wilson. We have had an anonymous “worry box” in the classroom and children have been trying to solve problems and think of ways to help people with their worries.
We really enjoyed our visit to the book festival. We thought the 2 authors we met (Ian Billings and Chris White) were hilarious! We heard lots of their funny poems and we have been trying to write in the same style in our writing.
Our new Home Learning is underway and we hope you are enjoying the mix of activities. The next full set of home learning will be available on the website from Tuesday 19th September.
There seems to be a lot of runny noses at the moment so any donations of tissues for the class would be greatly appreciated! Thank you 🙂
The morning nursery children had a fantastic time on their forest walk last week! They enjoyed exploring the space for the first time and had fun climbing trees, swinging from branches, balancing along logs and playing together outdoors in the lovely sunny weather!
Mr Cairney and Mrs Simpson would like to thank everyone for coming and seeing the literacy and numeracy learning that we are going to be sharing with the children over the course of the year.
If you would like to look over the slides presented, here are some links to the slideshows.
