Gymnastics

We have kicked off 2024 with some handstands, headstands, cartwheels and rolls during this block of learning. P5/6 have been enjoying expanding their gymnastics skills and creating their own routines to display their learning!

Comparitive writing

We have been learning about comparitive writing during this block of learning. We have compared chocolate bars and some Scottish food (haggis, neeps and tatties!)  We wrote down our observations, discussed them in groups and created a venn diagram of similarities and differences. We then used this information to create our own text comparing the different foods.

Works of art

P5/6 have been hard at work designing their own Jacobit tartan and kilts. We also completed some Scottish themed art work.

The jacobites

We have been loving taking a step back in Scottish history and learning all about the Jacobite rebellion. We have been able to place some key events on a time line, learn about some key figures such as Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald. We have also learned about what a Jacobite would have worn and what weapons they would have used. What a wealth of learning has gone on!

Home learning

We have had a fabulous standard of home learning including some Jacobite swords and shields! Don't they look amazing? Well done!

Class novels

P5/6 have been reading Kensuke's kingdom by Michael Murpurgo. It's really captured our interest and imagination! Ask us to give you a summary of what the story has been about so far.


Our Dogman group have been reading through The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S Lewis. The Willy Wonkas have been reading The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie. We have been learning about identifying the main idea of the text and looking for evidence/supporting details to back this up.

Ms Sadiq

We are very lucky to have Ms Sadiq working with P5/6 this term and part of next! P5/6 have been making her feel very welcome.

fischy music visit

We were lucky enough to have a visit from Fischy music who gave us some music workshops culminating in an incredible performance.
