In IDL this week, P5/4 were learning about load, structural integrity and tension. We used this learning to work collaboratively to build a bridge using only lollypop sticks and sellotape. We then had to measure how much weight our bridges could hold. We used skills like prediction, trial and error and collaboration. We had great [...]

Primary Three have been busy as always! We have been practicing our listening and created some crazy aliens by listening carefully to instructions.

In Primary 2 this week we enjoyed a special visit from Dave for "Wee Story, Big Sound", where the children created their own song using a shopping list of items from his bag. In maths, we explored grouping objects by colour and size, and in PE we practiced badminton skills, working together to take part [...]

We've had a busy start to the New Year in Primary 1! We had fun outside in our icy sand pit and we have finished the week playing 'kaboom' and 'roll a number' games to help us learn our tricky words. A great start to 2026!

Primary 2 and Primary 2/3 have been developing their coordination, rhythm, and teamwork skills through dance. We have been learning how to keep in time with the beat, follow simple choreographed sequences, and move safely in the space around us. The children's enthusiasm and progress has been wonderful to see.

P6/7 have been learning traditional Scottish country dances! We've been practicing the St Bernard's Waltz, the Canadian Barn Dance, and the Gay Gordons. It's been great fun, and we've discovered just how energetic (and exhausting!) ceilidh dancing can be.

For the last 4 weeks, Primary 1 have been singing and playing games with Mrs Gray from NYCOS. We have had lots of fun learning some new songs that we will continue to sing in class.

Their enthusiasm and imagination were on full [...]
