Outdoor Learning Kits

Our Outdoor Learning Kits are almost complete and ready to go. These have been designed as a quick and easy way to just pick up and move the learning outside no matter what the topic is. As the weather improves we look forward to getting out in the fresh air more!

Duncan Forbes Primary on Instagram: "Primary 3/2 went for a very special visit to Mrs Mackay’s mum’s care home on Tuesday. The class had previously written and received letters from the residents and during their visit they sang, recited poetry and played a clapping game before having a chat with their penpals. It was a truly wonderful experience for all!😍 #intergenerationalconnections #intergenerationallearning"0 likes, 0 comments - duncanforbesprimary on March 26, 2026: "Primary 3/2 went for a very special visit to Mrs Mackay’s mum’s care home on Tuesday.

Let me introduce you to our School Leaders this year. They will represent the house groups in Pupil Parliament and each House Leader will take a term as Prime Minister of Duncan Forbes.

Allanfearn - Aimee and Corrin

Ashton - Caitlin and Emily

Seafield - Findlay and Neha

Stratton - Jamie and Ruben

We are so excited to see you all back tomorrow for the start of session 2025-2026! Staff will be outside to help guide children to their lines for bell time. Primary 1 parents are welcome to come in to the playground with their child and take photos of them as they are taken in. Don't worry families, tears are normal but we will all be upbeat and cheerful to try and minimise any upset.

Unfortunately, there is still a skip outside the Primary 7 classrooms which will hopefully be removed over the next couple of days. Barriers have been put around for safety.

Looking forward to seeing all the smiley faces, taller children and happy parents!
