Please see below our school news. We have lots going on throughout the year!
As part of their WW2 topic, P5 have been visualising the cover of 'Goodnight Mr Tom' before reading it as a shared text. They have worked brilliantly!
And… ACTION! ðŸŽâœ¨
On Thursday afternoon, we brought the story of Elmer to life through drama! The children had great fun retelling the story, taking on different roles, and using their voices, actions, and expressions to recreate key events. It was wonderful to see their creativity, confidence, and teamwork shine as they immersed themselves in the colourful world of Elmer.
There was lots of excitement in P3/4 as we took our maths learning outdoors! Through fun, active challenges, the children explored numbers by comparing them and finding which numbers were greater than or less than a given number. Working together, they developed their confidence, mathematical thinking, and problem-solving skills while enjoying the fresh air and outdoor environment. A fantastic day of learning, teamwork, and fun!
Our P3/4 pupils have been busy outdoors, learning how to grow and care for plants from seed to harvest. Through hands-on activities, they explored the life cycle of plants, developed teamwork skills, and enjoyed the rewarding experience of harvesting the fruits of their hard work. Outdoor learning brought science to life while helping children build confidence, responsibility, and a deeper connection with nature.
The children had a fantastic time developing their skills, teamwork, and confidence through a range of fun and engaging activities with Coach Darren. It was wonderful to see everyone participating enthusiastically, challenging themselves, and enjoying being active. Well done, everyone!
P6/7 have been loving their topic - Famous Artists. This week they looked closely at the work of Antonio Gaudi before creating their own 3D constructions. Everyone worked excellently and build some beautiful buildings (and a chameleon...)!
P6/7 have had lots of fun exploring some practical phonics. It has been a lovely opportunity to identify our target sound in a new way while getting hands on experiences.
P5 have been working hard at poetry for their writing genre focus this term. Check out some of their amazing acrostic poems based on the Blitz!
Please see below the returning to school letters.

As part of their topic on The Farm, Primary 1 and 2 had a fantastic time planting their very own sunflower seeds this week with Miss O'Brien. The children loved getting their hands messy as they filled their pots, tucked in their seeds, and gave them a gentle first watering.
This hands‑on activity helped them learn about how plants grow and what they need to stay healthy, just like the crops they’ve been exploring in class.
We are all very excited to care for our sunflowers and watch them grow over the coming months. We can’t wait to see whose sunflower will stretch the tallest!
Well done P1 and P2, happy growing! 🌻
