P5 update

We are waiting for our seeds to grow. We have been giving them a head start in the classroom before we move them to our brand new planter.

Remember to come prepared for the rain with sensible shoes and a coat with a hood. We have been using the playground for outdoor learning and still like to get outside if it’s drizzly. Here are some drizzle inspired paintings…

We have been working on making our money go further and have been learning about managing a budget. To be able to do this we first had to learn about cost, affordability and pricing. We have worked on estimating prices before we check the real price online.


We enjoyed Active Schools sessions at Holyrood park recently and have been recording this towards the ‘Get Active, Stay Active’ part of our JASS award. Why not ask us to teach you one of the new games we have learned?


We were treated to a session with the new block play as a reward from Mrs Jessop. We enjoyed making a house together and then a slide.

Thanks for checking in! we are enjoying health week at the moment and will get our health rep to update you at the end of the week with what we have been up to. P5.

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!

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!
