Forces (Added June26)
In science, P1-4 have been exploring forces, including push, pull and friction. We have been investigating how these forces occur in everyday life. We also built different ramps and compared their speed. We will continue to learn about magnetic and electrical forces.
Diwali (Added 18Nov25)
P1-4 had an absolute blast making their own clay diyas to get into the spirit of Diwali! They got hands-on with the clay, working on that tricky 'pinch and pull' method, which was a great workout for their fine motor skills and resilience! It's not easy getting that perfect little bowl shape! Once all their unique lamps were dry, the real fun began: they got to use their creativity to paint them in bright colours and make them sparkle with gems.

Weddings! (Added 4Nov25)
P1-4 had an absolute blast learning about weddings in RME, and they brought the magic to life by hosting their very own wedding! Every child played a special role—ring bearer, ushers, a minister, bridesmaids, and of course, the bride and groom. They designed their own rings, bouquets, and dresses, and looked absolutely stunning! The ceremony was filled with excitement, including the fun tradition of jumping the broom. Afterward, they celebrated with a delicious wedding cake, and a lively dance. What an unforgettable experience for everyone! Have a look at our Gallery Page for some photographs of our special day.
Primary 1-4 Gardening (Added 2Oct25)
Following on from our very successful collaboration and help from Biggar Community Garden in the summer, our Primary 1-4 class were very busy recently tidying up the outdoor gardening areas in preparation for the coming months and harvesting some vegetables. Here’s what Quinn P2 and Cameron P2 had to say about it:
We have been very busy this week out in the garden – we have been digging in the planters and trying to find onions, potatoes, spring onions, parsley and carrots. We found a lot of weeds too! We made some soup with the vegetables that we managed to dig out – the soup was oniony and most people loved it! We picked out lots of weeds and we put those in the compost bin which is now really full! We saw lots of flies, butterflies, bumblebees and worms! Caterpillars and snails too! We had to clean to the vegetables and then we needed to cut them up and then we took turns to put them into the soup which we cooked on the hob. It was very noisy but lots of fun and it was cool to see turning the vegetables into something we could all eat.
