Primary 6/5 - Friday 13th November 2026

We have been enjoying delving deeper into our IDL topic for the term, European Countries, and have enjoyed linking our learning in different curriculum areas to this.

Great Green:

• Pupil groups – P6/5 engaged well in their pupil groups and added valuable comments in discussion. Lots of pupils have expressed motivation and a keenness to continue these.
• Fractions – We have been working with improper fractions and mixed numbers. Even when some pupils found this tricky and made some mistakes, they showed resilience and correct their work.
• We have been working on note taking, focusing on taking important facts and information from and bullet pointing them. This is an important lifelong skill which will help us with our information report writing.
• We enjoyed distinguishing the difference between natural resources, renewable energy and non-renewable energy in science. This will link to our IDL topic as we compare energy and sustainability in Scotland to a variety of European countries.

Think Pink:

• A reminder to all pupils to be mindful of thinking about our own actions and the feelings of others. In particular, thinking about the choices others make and how we can listen to these and respect them.

Lead Learners: Thank you to Mollie and Lucy for being our Lead Learners last week. I’m happy to share that our Lead Learners for next week are Darcey and Stirling. They have been awarded this for their dedication to learning both in school and at home. Keep it up!
