    Science Week

    Primary 2 began Science Week with a visit from Mrs Ponte to teach us about her work as a Bio Chemist. She taught us about mixing different liquids and how cells appear differently under a microscope.

    We enjoyed looking at the different microscope pictures and taking part in the experiment.

    Teeth Topic

    Primary  2 have been learning about the topic of Teeth and Healthy Eating. We have been learning the names of different types of teeth and what we can do to keep them healthy. Primary 2a performed their school assembly describing what they had learned about the topic.

    Hopetoun House
    Primary 2 visited Hopetoun House to learn more about our topic of Houses and Homes. We learned what it would have been like to live in a Victorian House. We dressed up as maids and servants and had to carry out some Victorian servant tasks. We were able to explore the grounds of Hopetoun House to learn more about different animal homes. We had a fantastic time and increased our knowledge of our topic.

    Health Week
    Primary 2 enjoyed taking part in Health Week. After an interesting talk from Waitrose, we made fruit kebabs and fruit faces. Mrs Christie and Mrs Sladen helped us learn about the different vitamins and minerals fruit and vegetables contain. We made tasty salads. Mrs Skelley taught us Animal Yoga where we made different animal shapes with our bodies. We took part in Diving training exercises where we did some stretching and jumping which would help us when diving. We hope to carry on being healthy and trying different sports throughout Primary 2.

    Primary 1 are very busy during the months of autumn with our autumn artwork. We have been collecting leaves and creating some stunning leaf rubbings. We will be learning about Paul Klee and recreating some of his famous pieces of art. We have made beautiful autumn trees.

    We have been learning about animals that hibernate and will be using different materials to make a home for a hibernating animal as part of our homework. We will each get a chance to show our animal home to the class.

    This term we are learning a Scottish song for St Andrew’s Day which we will perform at assembly.

    We are also learning songs for our Nativity which is on December 10th.

    P1B

    Primary 1 have settled well into school and we are now staying all day.

    We have been very busy in the short time we have been here.

    We really enjoyed Health Week, especially aerobics in the playground first thing every morning.

    Our buddies helped us make fruit faces and fruit kebabs which was great fun. We got to try lots of different types of fruits.

    Our first topic is “At School” and we have been getting to know the different people who help us in school. We have also had walks around the different parts of the school. We have also been learning all about the artist Van Gogh and have been making our own version of his famous painting ‘Sunflowers’.

    We are looking forward to learning lots of new things in Primary 1.

    I thought health week was fantastic and a great introduction to the school for parents and children alike! I think it really made my daughter feel part of something a lot bigger, she loved it. Please can we see more opportunities for P1 children to participate in a range of sports throughout the year!

    We did all have a wonderful week and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Once a month we are going to have a whole school aerobics session so we hope that any parents who are in the playground dropping off their children will stay and join us.
