We had great fun this week in P2 learning some new Scots words & realising that lots of words we say everyday are Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 P2 wrote sentences & drew pictures to match some Scots words. We also learned heid, shooders, naps & taes. Ask us to teach you it at home 🎵 👀👂🏻👄👃🏻 #DunipaceLiteracy #DunipaceScots

We listened to The Gruffalo in Scots 📖 We loved working out the Scots words compared to The Gruffalo story. We acted out the parts & then role played just the Gruffalo & mouse characters with a partner. We labelled parts of The Gruffalo with Scots words we learned 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #DunipaceScots #DunipaceLiteracy

Last week Team 12 visited P2 to tell us about #UNCRCArticle29 Right to an Education. We discussed how education helps us to learn & improve our knowledge & skills. We wrote our talents onto leaves & what we'd like to achieve onto clouds. Ask us what we'd like to achieve ☁️ #DunipaceUNCRC #DunipaceHWB

P1 were excited to recite their poems to the judges for our Scottish Poetry competition 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Well done to everyone who learned their poem & recited it to the judges or in class👏🏼 #DunipaceScots #DunipaceLiteracy

P2 & P1 used the Chatterkid app to make objects come to life. First take a photo & then add your voice. Next add accessories & then press play. There were lots of giggles as toys, bottles, whiteboards, rugs, pictures & chalk had voices. 💻#DunipaceICT @mrsdowds.bsky.social @missmckechnie.bsky.social

One of P2's reading comprehension tasks this week was to write part of the stories from their reading books. Using their recall skills & a word bank they wrote super sentences to retell each part 📚#DunipaceLiteracy

We read What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson this week 🐞 We predicted what would happen from the front cover. After reading, we discussed setting, characters & illustrations. Then we made our own story maps of key parts of the story before re-telling it to a partner🐞🐄🦆💦 #DunipaceLiteracy

This P2 pupil asked to teach her classmates how to paint a landscape scene that she had learned to paint. She set up tables, paper & paint palettes. There were lots of keen artists ready to join her art session. Fantastic peer teaching & lovely artwork created. Well done! ⭐👏🏼🖌️🎨#DunipaceArt

We researched to find out more about Scotland's national flower symbol, the Thistle. We knew it was a prickly plant but found out it represents bravery, resilience & loyalty. We looked at the features of a thistle & then created our own using a variety of art & craft materials 🖍️✂️🖌️🎨 #DunipaceArt

We took on the challenge to create a paper chain the length of our classroom 🎄⛓️‍💥 We worked as a class team to connect paper strips & kept checking the length as we added more on. We did it! 😀🎉 Then we made our own paper snowflakes to decorate the classroom using clever cutting ❄️ ✂️

We have a class calendar that we tick off each day 🗓️✔️ We found out more about calendar years, months, number of days & seasons. We learned a rhyme to help remember how many days in each month. Then we illustrated our own 2026 calendars to take home & marked our birthday on them 🖍️🗓️#DunipaceMaths
