Our Primary 2 pupils enjoyed using the ‘Author’s chair’ to share their writing with the class. We all loved hearing their instructions for making a disgusting sandwich!

Taking our gymnastics skills to the next level!

Well done to all pupils who recited their Scots poem to the class today. I was very impressed with everyone’s effort, enthusiasm and expression. Special congratulations to our three finalists! 👏👏👏

We have been enjoying gymnastics in PE lessons with Mrs King, practising our jumping, landing and balancing skills.

It’s always great when one of our classmates reads us a story!

Party time! 🥳

This is us all set for our Christmas party yesterday! 🎄🎁🕺

We all enjoyed our Christmas dinner last week!

All ready for Christmas jumper day! #SavetheChildren

Primary 1 pupils have been working hard on their letter formation using rainbow writing! Super concentration and effort!

Primary 2 pupils have been busy writing sentences including words that contain the digraph we have been learning this week ‘aw’.

We need your help to decorate the school Christmas tree! Have fun making an eco-friendly decoration at home by recycling some everyday materials and bring it in to school to hang in the hall. 🎄

We enjoyed working on and testing our roman catapults made with Mr Shave at the woodwork bench this week. We worked out which cotton ball had gone furthest when launched from our catapults to great excitement! #STEM #woodwork

We used pictures and a sorting task last week to spark a class discussion on what are friendly and unfriendly behaviours. We were all in agreement that we want our classroom to be a friendly place. #Anti-bullyingWeek

We enjoyed a taste of woodwork this week, working with Mr Shave to have a go at sawing and sanding. We were delighted with our windmills, and enjoyed exploring how to catch the wind and watch them spin! #STEM #woodwork

We use ‘show me’ activities using mini dry wipe boards and number fans to increase engagement and thinking skills in Literacy and Numeracy lessons.

Primary 1 pupils enjoyed a shared reading session with their Primary 6 buddies this morning. Lots of lovely engagement in sharing stories together.

There was lots of excitement when we found all sorts of signs of Autumn on our walk. We used what we noticed and the wonderful book ‘The Lost Words’ by Robert McFarlane and Jackie Morris to help us and inspire us when we wrote about what we found.

We made the most of a break in the showers this week to get out and enjoy the daily mile.

As past of our learning about toys, pupils explored how to create a sequence of instructions for the beebot. #digitaltechnologies

Super work in Numeracy from our P2 pupils using tens frames to visualise a strategy for solving addition by making ten.

A spot of outdoor Maths today during @mathsweek.scot thinking about amounts and how they are made up. Pupils used natural materials to make numbers on tens frames and look for pairs that make 5. #Numbertalks #outdootlearning

Pupils enjoyed a session of enacting each other’s stories this afternoon. We had stories about monsters and magic beans, the biggest train in the world and a game of football at Dougie park. #HelicopterStories #storytelling

Super reading from our primary 2 pupils this week, rearranging sentences linked to their reading books.

Lots of creativity and excitement was unleashed this week as pupils discovered their mini mes. Pupils included them in all sorts of imaginative play, building houses for their mini mes out of blocks and sending them on voyages. #BeingMe #roleplay#imagination

We enjoyed sharing about the things we like and getting to know each other better during our ‘Being Me’ museum last week. #BeingMe #classcommunity

Lots of super work in Literacy this week from P1 and P2 pupils, learning and revising letter sounds.

We enjoyed meeting our school gerbils, Snowy and Moon, this week thanks to a handling session with Mrs Brown. We got a chance to stroke or hold them and learned about how to look after them. Snowy and Moon were a hit!

We enjoyed a visit to the library today. We chose a book to share at home. Our library day will be on a Thursday so remember to return books each week so a new one can be chosen. 📚

A huge welcome to our Primary 1 pupils who made a wonderful start to school this week!

Good luck to our P2/1 pupils from last year as they move on to Primary 2 and 3. We welcomed our new P2/1 class this week and it has been a fantastic start to the new term! Follow us here to find out more about our learning journey this year! 😀

Pupils were delighted to see that our caterpillars emerged from the chrysalis this week! We have been amazed to observe this amazing transformation and learn through awe and wonder at the natural world. #lifecycles #livingthings

A huge thank you to Mr Shave who has worked tirelessly with our class this year, offering pupils such a wonderful opportunity to experience woodwork, working with different tools and materials, trying out different techniques and making some wonderful creations to take home.

We have had another wonderful experience of woodwork this term, working with Mr Shave to make some very useful and beautiful book ends from recycled timber and learning how materials can be recycled into something new! #woodwork #technologies

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

We enjoyed a ride, skate or scoot session this morning. The rest of us enjoyed an extra time on the trim track. What a great day for it! #HealthWeek

♻️ 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

Pupils enjoyed a session in the hub last week, learning about and handling our gerbils, Snowy and Moon. Thank you very much to Mrs Brown who helped us.
