Primary 5 children from Mrs Williamson’s and Mrs Peacocke’s classes recently embarked on an exciting Egyptian adventure. The boys and girls arrived at school dressed in a wonderful array of Egyptian costumes and were fully immersed in a day of learning and fun linked to their World Around Us topic, The Egyptians.
Throughout the day, the children took part in a variety of engaging activities that brought Ancient Egypt to life and allowed them to explore this fascinating civilisation in a memorable and interactive way.
The effort made by everyone was truly outstanding, with fantastic costumes, make-up and accessories helping to create an authentic Egyptian atmosphere. A sincere thank you to all our parents and carers for their support in making the day such a tremendous success. Your enthusiasm and creativity helped make this a special learning experience that the children will remember for years to come.

Our Primary 2 pupils helped prepare a special harvest-themed menu for the canteen, celebrating the season's wonderful produce.
We enjoyed another lovely lunch, expertly prepared and served by our fantastic kitchen staff. A big thank you to everyone involved for making it such a delicious and enjoyable experience! We are very proud of our P2 pupils for their enthusiasm and hard work.
Our Gardening Club members rolled up their sleeves and got busy making our school grounds look bright and welcoming for winter! The children worked together to clear out the flower beds and plant pots, removing weeds and old plants to make space for something new. They then planted a variety of colourful winter bedding plants, carefully arranging them to create beautiful displays around the school. Everyone showed great teamwork and enthusiasm, and it was wonderful to see the children taking pride in helping our school bloom through the colder months. We can't wait to watch the plants grow and enjoy their colour all winter long!

Our boys and girls have been really enjoying using the laptops and taking part in Hour of Code activities to complete a range of exciting coding projects. They have been superb coders, using Dance Party to programme movements for their sprites, while also creating backgrounds and adding other sprites to enhance their projects.
It has been wonderful to see such a large number of both girls and boys attending each week, enthusiastically developing their coding skills and creativity. The confidence, perseverance and problem-solving skills on display have been fantastic.
Keep up the great coding, everyone. We can't wait to see what you create next!
One of our Primary 5 pupils helped bring our Ancient Egypt topic to life by sharing some family artefacts with the class. The canopic jars sparked lots of interest and discussion and provided the perfect introduction to our learning about mummification and the processes carried out in Ancient Egyptian times.
It was fascinating for the children to see these artefacts up close, helping to make our learning even more engaging and memorable. What an interesting find!
A huge thank you for sharing these special items with your class peers. They certainly enriched our learning experience and inspired plenty of curiosity and questions. Well done!
