A lovely visit from Cameron from YMI on Friday. The class had a great time.

Last week we were learning all about angles. One of our activities was an angle hunt to identify acute, right and obtuse angles. #funinmaths #article29

Probability investigations in P4. We looked at making predictions, completing a test and used the language of probability to determine our chances at each investigation. #article29

Lots of excitement when you turn the math lesson into a game. #fun

Bringing fairytales to life through drama. Our ‘Act it Out’ storytelling went down a treat. Can you guess some of the stories from the pictures? 🕵🏻‍♀️📖#DPSBookWeek2026

Blankets, biscuits and buddies. What more could you ask for during our cosy reading session. #DPSBookWeek2026

We had a very successful paired writing session with our friends in P5 @missmiller-dps.bsky.social. Each group created a page to go into a book about animals, based on our trip to the zoo. #pairedwriting #pupilsleadinglearning

♻️ Wednesday 11th June 3pm - Litter Pick ♻️ We would love to have pupils and family join us after school for a short time to litter pick at Deanburn and the surrounding area. Please meet us in the playground if you can attend! Thank you! #EcoSchools #GreenFlag #KeepScotlandBeautiful

During our visit to Edinburgh Zoo, we noticed lots of plaques near the animals with names of people of who had sponsored them. This became our stimulus for our persuasive writing lesson. Can we persuade Miss Miller to sponsor an animal for the class? #pupilchoice

This week we’ve been learning about coordinates. To demonstrate our understanding we played battleships. #makinglearningfun #article29 #article31

Last week we had a visit from Forth Valley STEM outreach team. During their visit we learned about energy and created wind turbines. We then extracted DNA from a strawberry and finished the day by creating and launching rockets. Lots of fun was had!

P5 have really enjoyed our science IDL. We explored forces, chemical reactions, electricity and the human body.
