Monday 31st May – Primary 1

A big THANK YOU to Miss Finlayson and Mr Madine for organising a super fun Health Week last week. This week we will be continuing on that theme, learning about types of food/diets (of human AND dinosaur) and the importance of sleep, as well as writing up our JASS adventure.

Homework

Sports Day

Primary 1 had great fun competing in their sports day. We participated in our house groups and our scores will be added up along with the rest of the school. Best of luck!

Outdoor learning at Johnstone Terrace Nature Reserve

We had so much fun at Johnstone Terrace that we forgot to take any photos! Here is a little snap of us having a closer look at some of the things we wanted to explore a little closer when we got back to school.

JASS – Adventure – Treasure Hunt!

WOW! Primary 1 were BRILLIANT at finding clues, solving the riddles and exploring our local area. I didn’t realise we had so many trees in our school play ground. Did you? They also worked so well as a team, turning the pieces of the jigsaw until it revealed a picture of Roary the Allosaurus from Lapworth Museum of Geology! We were super excited that the treasure hunt did actually end with TREASURE!

Wake up, shake up!

A big thank you to our Primary 6 Buddies who led an excellent socially distanced Wake Up, Shake Up for us on Tuesday morning. What a great start to the day!

The weather forecast is predicted to be sunny at the beginning of this week. Make sure to bring a sun hat and put on your sun cream before coming to school HOWEVER we always recommend bringing a rain coat in your bag as the weather is notoriously changeable.

Keep up the great work, team!

Assembly 27th May 2021

I hope that you are all enjoying Health Week! I know the weather has been a bit miserable but that has certainly not dampened our spirits as everyone has been enjoying a whole range of activities to support our physical and mental health and wellbeing!

It has been great fun watching the Buddies in Primary 5, 6 and 7 Wake Up! Shake Up! with the nursery and younger classes. There have been some energetic daily miles, some relaxing yoga, mindful colouring and concocting of healthy smoothies! I believe the next focus is sleeping! I am pretty good at napping (so is my cat) so this could be my forte!

I hope you enjoy this week’s assembly https://youtu.be/QZ0KbMlo_08 Take care and keep healthy!

Sowing seeds for the big playground planters

If the dinosaurs came back…

Our once quiet city has now been overrun with dinosaurs! We loved the story If the dinosaurs came back and it inspired some brilliant writing. Listen to the story by clicking here

We made salt dough dinosaur bones and fossils

We excavated chocolate chip cookies to practise our archaeology skills!

Have a lovely weekend and see you on Tuesday!

Assembly 20th May

Hello. It’s been a busy week – our planters are now filled with soil and classes are starting off seeds on the windowsills for a colourful welcome next session.

Our Vice House Captains had the lovely job of thanking the Dumbiedykes Residents’ Association for a kind donation as they closed their accounts for the last time. We are going to put it towarsd our ‘greening’ project.

Sadly our House Captains have had a less pleasant job checking the upper school loos after a spate of vandalism and careless behaviour led to inconvenience and a repair bill. Please can we all work together to look after our school and each other.

We found out that Mrs Henry will be joining Royal Mile as Head Teacher next session And we had yummy fruit for snack on Friday thanks to the Parent Council. We have the same again this Friday too!

So here it is – Assembly! https://youtu.be/boSTGroUuYw

Take care, Mrs Jessop!
