A lovely relaxing end to our week with a story massage circle. Have a lovely weekend everyone 😊

Well done to our table of the week and top spellers 🌟

Thank you for your support in helping your child complete their book bag challenge. We had great fun guessing who each character was. #DPSBookWeek

Today we visited the book fair. Here are the books we really liked. We have a slip with the name and cost of our favourite books. All books should be ordered online.

Thank you to our friends from @missbeattie-dps.bsky.social for helping us with our rainforest animal research today. #WorkingTogether #Factfile

It’s been a busy end of the week. We enjoyed our paper bag book project - please remember to return next Thursday and our book, biscuit and beverage. Stop, drop and read was fun- though the alarm was loud! Well done to the winners of our book quiz (in the sun) and to our top speller. #DPSBookWeek

Well done to our pupil of the week for showing great enthusiasm in all book week activities this week. Thanks to C for sharing her wider achievements at assembly today. And finally, we were all very impressed with our expert sewers who made these beautiful cuddlies at Skills Quest. Well done 👏

Well done to our pupil of the week and to our winning table. Have a wonderful weekend!

Today we were practising taking away a teen number from a 2-digit number. We had some fabulous “teachers” demonstrating their techniques. Keep practising kiddos!

Our table of the week for the second time in a row! Well done for trying your bests, following instructions and listening well, keeping your spaces tidy and looking after our resources. 🏆

We have been spoiled this week with two performances to enjoy. Treasure Island was very entertaining and Matilda truly fabulous. Those going to see it are in for a real treat. Massive congratulations to all pupils (and staff) involved. @missmason-dps.bsky.social

Lots of top spellers this week. Well done, practise makes perfect. 👌 Have a fantastic long weekend everyone. @missmason.bsky.social

Beautiful pastel drawings @missmason-dps.bsky.social @mrshilditch-dps.bsky.social plus exploring your construction "bonds", listening & talking skills too. Well done all.

@missmason-dps.bsky.social @mrshilditch-dps.bsky.social glad you enjoyed taking your learning out of the classroom and into your local history. You all asked great questions by the way!

Last week we thoroughly enjoyed a Future X taster session. We took park in some competitive games which were great fun and developed our fitness skills! Well done everyone for your participation and thank you Steven for coming in and working with so many classes 👏 👍🏻 #FutureX #Fitness #Fun

Our Friday feel good song was a great start to our day - lots of dancing and laughter. Happy Friday everyone 😊 @missmason-dps.bsky.social

We painted the base coat of our castles today. Hopefully you can help us out with the finer details next Wednesday (2pm) at our sharing the learning. 🎨 @missmason-dps.bsky.social

We started our day with the Friday song and an impromptu dance! Well done to this weeks star spellers and our table of the week. Have a great weekend everyone 😊

This week we became the teachers and shared what we learned about our famous Scot with our classmates. Together we learned a lot! @missmason-dps.bsky.social

This afternoon we covered our castles in paper machie ready for painting next week. We are so excited to show you them. (Apologies if we got a bit messy!) #craft #fun #messy

Today in writing we were describing a Scottish setting. Together we brainstormed some good describing words and phrases. Afterwards we enjoyed looking at each other’s work and checking if we had remembered to include all the key features (punctuation, connectives and adjectives). ✍️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well done to our Scots poetry winner and well deserved runners up. Great job LG on being this weeks pupil of the week for your excellent numeracy work. Finally, congratulations star writers. 🏆

Well done to our two top spellers and table of the week! 👏

This afternoon we had a lot of fun constructing our castles. Thank you for all your boxes!

Today we worked in small groups and completed the research on our chosen ‘significant Scot’. We then wrote fact files all about them. I think all pupils really enjoyed their writing lesson today! Well done to our star writers 🤩 #focused #workingtogether #literacy

Next week we will be learning about Scottish castles and will be making some models. Please can you save any small cardboard boxes, kitchen roll tubes (not toilet roll ones please) and old newspapers. Thank you!

Congratulations to this weeks top spellers! Keep learning your words and remember you’ve also got your significant Scot research too. Have a lovely weekend ☺️#homelearning

Yesterday we had a really good morning taking part in a drama workshop all about our trip to @kinneil.bsky.social We are looking forward to sharing our learning with you in February. @missmason.bsky.social

This afternoon during our IDL time we extended our knowledge of #ScotsLanguage and then created word clouds with common Scots words. So impressed with what you created! #IDL #Technologies @connectedfalk.bsky.social

We spent a wonderful morning at Kinneil House exploring, learning about stone masonry and recreating some of the animals from the wall murals using oil pastels. Thank you so much to @kinneil.bsky.social for opening up especially for us - we felt like VIPs! @missmason-dps.bsky.social has photos too.

Very well done to our first pupil of the week of 2026! 👏

Today we used a range of numeracy skills and strategies to try to ‘escape the room’ by cracking the 8 digit code. It was trickier than we thought! Super effort all round 👏

What a fun afternoon at our Christmas party with our friends from P2 🥳 @deanburnps.bsky.social

This morning we enjoyed a visit from Mrs Patterson @bonessacademy.bsky.social and some pupils who read us a lovely Christmas story. We listened really well and could tell them all about what happened in the story.

This week in writing we created our own Christmas characters and wrote fantastic descriptions of them. It was fun guessing which description matched which picture. Well done to our star writers! ⭐ ✍️

Yesterday was lots of fun - Christmas jumper day in for @savethechildren.org and Christmas lunch. We also are all start pupils for our amazing nativity performance.

Lots to celebrate (and last weeks star writers)… This week’s writing was inspired by a certain supermarket’s Christmas advert. We wrote great descriptions of giants - some were friendlier than others! Our star writers from today will be announced on Monday by @missmason-dps.bsky.social

Over the past few weeks we have been enjoying some ‘Mindul Moments’ allowing our busy minds to reset and bodies to slow down. This can be particularly useful at this time of year. Today we practised balloon breathing which most of us found very calming 😌 #DoBeMindful

This week we have been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10. We used our ‘show me boards’ to demonstrate our understanding and enjoyed a ‘reveal the picture’ end task too. Ask me the rhyme we learned to help us remember (5 to 9 climb the vine, 1 to 4 hit the floor). #ActiveLearning

Today’s successes - top spellers, star writers and table of the week. Well done everyone 💫

I think the photos speak for themselves - proud of their hard work and quite rightly so. 😊

Last week we were learning about the writing technique ‘show don’t tell’. Everyone tried really hard to show the emotion without using the actual word. This was continued in this weeks writing on characterisation. Star writers to be revealed tomorrow… Well done to AC for last weeks great work 👏

A lovely relaxing end to our week. Have a great weekend everyone 😊

Celebrating our successes… Pupil of the week Top spellers AND Singing award at assembly!

What fantastic fairytale character descriptions written today. Great collaborative work generating fabulous vocabulary. Well done to our star writers ⭐️📝

Big well done to this weeks superstars ⭐️🌟⭐️

Today we had some spooky fun learning French Halloween words, completing a Halloween sudoku and practising our guising jokes by making a Chatterpix video. Have fun guising tonight - be safe!

What a lovely start to our week - fun spelling activities for our new phoneme ‘a-e’. Our fortune tellers were a big hit. Use them to practise for your spelling test! #Literacy #ActiveSpelling #Fun

Well done to our pupil of the week, star writers, top spellers and JOINT winning tables. Have a great weekend - stay dry! ☔️ 😄

Yesterday we practised our choral counting while moving. (Not sure why the video recorded double speed!) #ActiveLearning #Number
