The boys and girls in Primary 2 have been busy measuring this week by making potions in groups and pretending to be builders and architects by calculating the length of objects. We have also been comparing weight and length by investigating whether something is heavier or lighter and longer or shorter with practical activities.
We really enjoyed making a mixture of love potions, stretchy potions and invisibility potions 🧪 🧫
P2 have had the pleasure of enjoying Scots songs this term, led by Alyssa Muego, our YMI tutor.Songs which we have learned include, Coulter’s Candy and My maw’s a millionaire 🎶
Primary 1s enjoyed a Spring scavenger hunt in the playground and then they wrote about it. We made chocolate nests, did Spring finger painting and played duck, duck goose in the playground. Have a great holiday everyone 😊
This term, P6 have been learning about measurement. To round off the topic P6 have been working hard to improve their accuracy using a protractor to measure angles. The whole class did a great job and were super engaged and focused! Well done #teamP6

This term we have been able to start our Roots of Empathy lessons, the children have been learning how to understand other people’s feelings and their own. The program has been modified so that the children get to know our Roots of Empathy family: baby Alan and mum Jordan through videos and photographs. The lessons are delivered by instructor Mrs Harris-Toner and our ‘little teacher’ is baby Alan. The children have really enjoyed getting to know baby Alan and hear his news.
The children have shared their experiences of lock down through their artwork and the roles they have at home and in school. Last week the children had lots of fun learning about and demonstrating how baby Alan uses body language to communicate his feelings.
For more information please ask Mrs Harris-Toner, Mrs McDermot and Miss McArthur. Also check out http://www.rootsofempathy.org
We have been learning all about spring and enjoying observing the changes around us. The boys and girls enjoyed a Spring treasure hunt this week and they discovered lots of exciting insects and flowers in our playground!
As part of our Superhero topic, we looked at a super ‘woman’ this week called Amelia Earhart and learned about how things fly. This tied in nicely with International Woman’s Day on Monday.To commemorate her, we followed instructions to make our own paper planes then tested them outside afterwards 😃 ✈️
Rishon in P7 has had yet more success in chess tournaments. Well done Rishon.
P2 were enjoying their Friday last week.
