P4/5 went down to the woods for Maths Week Scotland.

They found lots of maths when we sent them on the maths hunt amongst the trees.

There was leaf symmetry, twig counting, twig sums, branch weight and mass, tree ring age counting, and counting spots on leaves.

After the hunt we built number tic tac toe games by making 5 twig bundles to build numbers 1-9.

P1a Settle In

Leave a reply

P1A have settled into life at school beautifully and are all enjoying their busy days. 

We have started to investigate our school, looking at the people in our school who help us and exploring the other classrooms and playgrounds. 

Mrs Smith also introduced us to the gorgeous rabbits in the first level playground.

Aliens Invade P2

Leave a reply

The pupils have been asking some big questions about the moon and some of the planets and an alien called Pog must have heard, as they crashed into our classroom and left some bits of their space craft behind while trying to fix it.


Pog said they were from Mars and left a letter asking for some information from the pupils about the moon.


The pupils gathered evidence from the scene to discuss what might have happened. Some pupils also tried to rebuild a space craft.


The pupils created their own character called Pog which they will use while they learn about story structure, creating their own version of ‘Man in the Moon’ by Simon Bartram.

I’m excited to see where the pupils will take our learning next!
