Congratulations to the winners of our Blythswood Shoebox Appeal letter-writing competition! 💌✨ Their heartfelt letters are now on their way to boys in Eastern Europe — spreading kindness across the miles. 🌍 I wonder if they’ll write back? 💭❤️ #BlythswoodCare #KindnessInAction #GlobalCitizens

Our nurture group worked with @mrshogan-dps.bsky.social to run a tuck shop to raise money for the Blythswood Shoebox Appeal 🎁 They shared their fantastic efforts at assembly, and thanks to them, 12 full shoeboxes are now on their way to Eastern Europe! 🌏 A wonderful achievement for a great cause ❤️

We’re so proud that our school and cluster has achieved the @sportscotland Gold Award! 🏅🎉 A huge thank you to Mrs McKelvie, Steph, and our amazing Sports Council for their hard work and dedication. What a fantastic achievement for our school community! 💪👏 #SportScotland #Teamwork #ProudMoment

Super work in Numeracy from our P2 pupils using tens frames to visualise a strategy for solving addition by making ten.

Well done to all our successes this week. Pupil of the Week, Star Writers, Top Spellers and Table of the Week 🌟

This afternoon we were learning about the importance of the River Nile in ancient Egypt and started making informative posters on it. We can’t wait to share our learning with you next week at parents night.

Our #WordOfTheWeek this week is ‘ephemeral’. Ask us what it means and if we can use it in a sentence! #WordAware #NewVocabulary #Literacy #WordRap #P7Team 😊

This morning in P5 we practiced our coding skills. We got hands-on with micro:bits, programming them to react to different noise levels 🎶🔊. From quiet whispers to loud claps, our code displayed different images 💻⚡

We managed a dry and sunny ☀️ Daily Mile in between the showers today! #brainbreak #walk #run #jog #fun #friends #chat #hwb #catchup #checkin

We read a scene from Chapter 32 where Bradley is surrounded by the other boys. We practised and performed this scene in groups using the text to see what the characters say and do. #literacy #classnovel #drama #perform #dialogue #reading

We launched our new topic ‘Africa’ yesterday. While the music was on we had to search for jigsaw 🧩 pieces to complete each image and then link these images together to guess the theme! #IDL #topic #Africa #launch #MTV #think #puzzle #explore #bigquestions #littlequestions

We used the scene from yesterday to create a storyboard detailing the main events. We used pictures, speech, description and phrases from the text, as well as the thoughts of characters! #classnovel #literacy #reading #mainidea #summarising #understanding #comprehension

As a class reward for getting all the smirks in the jaur, we enjoyed an exciting visit to meet the school gerbils, Moon and Snowy.

Our #PupilOfTheWeek this week has settled into his new school very well and is now showing more confidence as he interacts with his peers and school staff! 🌟 #Certificate #Proud #P7Team 😊

Well done to our pupil of the week 🌟 You have been working incredibly hard in numeracy this week exploring addition, you have shown such determination and focus. Well done!

Yesterday we practised our choral counting while moving. (Not sure why the video recorded double speed!)

This morning we continued to develop our digital coding skills using Scratch! We programmed characters to move, dance, and make sounds, bringing our own mini digital stories to life. 🕺🎶🚀

This afternoon during Drama we explored how to use facial expressions and body language to bring emotions to life. From happy 😃 and excited 🤩 to sad 😢, nervous 😬, surprised 😲, tired 🥱, and angry 😡. Amazing work everyone!

What a lovely start to our week - fun spelling activities for our new phoneme ‘a-e’. Our fortune tellers were a big hit. Use them to practise for your spelling test! #Literacy #ActiveSpelling #Fun

Our pupils have been busy coding @microbit.org devices — creating scrolling name badges and digital dice that change when shaken! 🎲✨ Fantastic use of block coding skills and creative problem-solving in action!💡💻 #STEM #Coding #Microbit #EdTech @connectedfalk.bsky.social @digilearnfalk.bsky.social

Having fun with maths today playing the Shannon Switching Game from @edinburghuni.bsky.social 🎯 A brilliant mix of strategy, logic, and teamwork — proving that maths is anything but boring! 🧩💡 #MathsFun #STEM #ProblemSolving #Education
