Primary 5-7 have had a very busy and enjoyable first 2 weeks back at school. We have been learning about Myths and Legends and using this to support our literacy work. This has sparked a lot of imaginative discussion, drama and writing! We have been investigating chance and probability in our maths lessons which has given us the opportunity to revisit fractions, decimals and percentages. Next week, we kick off our new topic with a visit to the Scottish parliament.

The children would like to share with you their highlights of the week:

Serena and I both enjoyed writing a Hero’s journey – Charlie

I enjoyed that we got freedom to make up an imaginative story – Seth

I liked using what we had been learning about myths and legends and using that to make a story – Joe
