P1 have had a good week back at school and have enjoyed tasting different Autumn foods- pear, apple and some roasted pumpkin!
We had games outside with Ricky on Wednesday. We played different memory games in the classroom and made different patterns and sequenced numbers. What a great week back well done everyone!
Primary 5 had great fun developing their rhythmic skills in Music. Great coordination and concentration!
Primary 5 have been learning about John Muir and have been looking at nature in our local area. We went on a nature walk in the rain! We had great fun and enjoyed collecting lots of natural objects.
We found a variety of leaves, sticks, berries and insects.
In P1/2 We enjoyed sampling some of autumns most popular foods. The children discussed harvest and tasted some lovely red apples, juicy green pears and a delicious pumpkin.
We held a vote and decided that the apples were by far the tastiest!

P7 began their link up with Edinburgh College today.
They took parts in a TEAMS meeting where they interacted with the college lecturers and learned how bridges are built so that they are strong and durable. They then got the chance to build their own bridges and test them over the ‘drop of doom’ to see how much weight they could hold. Four bridges managed to hold 1kg showing that P7 has taken on board what they had been told during the TEAMS meet.
P2 explored symmetry further this week by going outside to make symmetrical pictures using natural items. Our class mini topic is ‘Autumn,’ so we used conkers, leaves and cones collected by the class to make our creations, just in time before the rain started.
We all enjoyed a spooky Hallowe’en themed lunch on Thursday. Mrs Smith kindly decorated the dining hall and we enjoyed listening to a Hallowe’en playlist as we ate the delicious lunch!
We have a new Digital learning quick start guide for parents and carers. It is linked below.
We are also now in a position to request that our cameras on pupil devices are switched on due to the very good progress that both staff and pupils have made with ICT.. This will enable the children to see one another, and for the teacher to communicate with them via video chat if classes are required to self-isolate or if we enter a further school closure. The children will also be enabled to use the camera function within the school.
