Our blog

It was wonderful to see everyone again after the holidays.  My word the children come back to school looking so grown up.

We were delighted to welcome our new P1 children to the school.  They all seem to have settled in really well. 

Mrs Walkers class all created birthday cards which will be given out to each other over the course of the year.  The children went to the gym for PE.  They have enjoyed making dog walking pictures and have been doing lots of gluing and glittering. 

P123 have been introduced to number. P2 and 3 have been doing really hard sums, they have been doing addition.  They have been writing sentences and matching words to meanings. 

PE will be in Thursdays and Fridays, please make sure the children have their gym kit. 

In Ms Scollay's class the children have been doing lots of spelling this week.  We have also created a Newspaper of all our holiday reports, I hope to try to upload them for you to look at. 

We created mirrors after reading the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.  Our magic mirrors show our portrait, what we like and what we would like to do in the future. 

We have also been learning about the Titanic.  We were all blown away by the trailer of the film Titanic.  We have created a TITANIC list of questions that we would like to learn about the Titanic.  This will be our topic for the coming term. 

We also tried out the new Maths scheme today, the active games and activities really got us thinking about our maths, and the new textbooks were well recieved. 


Pr 6/7 have started their swimming and we would like to thank Sheree Fraser for accompaning the children. 

P6/7 have been having a WW2 sing soing as their topic this term will be WW2 Bombs and Blackberries. 

P6/7 will  have been getting our feet under our new desks and they started on the BIG WRITING experience.  This is a new system for the teaching of writing which the whole school will be embarking on throughout this year. 

A parents work shop will be held later in the Autumn to explain this new method of teaching.

The nursery has bloosmed this term with 15 children in the class.  Lesley Hall has joined the nursery to work with Alison Bowcott.  They have had a busy week allowing the children to explore the environment.  There has been paint mixing and lots of outdoor play.  They really enjoyed a session with balls out on the playing field. 


The Hmie report will be published on Monday and you will recieve a copy of the report on Monday from the children. 


Please note that I am teaching Tues - Friday and am unavailable during this time.  If you would like to see me please make an appointment so that I can arrange a suitable time.  I am sorry that I cannot be more flexible, but due to council cut backs on management time I only have Monday's within the school office. 

I look forward to the fun and challenges of the year ahead. 

Best Wishes
