St Mark's RC Primary School

Primary 7 enjoyed their PE lesson outside in the sun today. They were faced with a challenge and used their critical thinking, communication and adaptability skills to complete it. ☀️

P6 have been busy experimenting planting! We had a think about what seeds we can get from home to grow. We have a mixture of flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables growing both in class and at home! We are hoping they will grow successfully with the correct care 🌸🌱🪴🌶️🫑🍅🍒

We are proud of our Sun Moon and Stars mobiles. We would like to thank our families for coming to our assembly followed by a showcase in our classroom on Friday 21st March 2025.

On Tuesday, P.2 were lucky to watch a show called “Bounce” performed by Dirliebane Theatre. They explored our feelings and how we can help ourselves to be calm when we feel angry, nervous and sad. #Bounce #Dirliebanetheatre

Yesterday, Primary 7 celebrated Mass to mark the transition from primary to secondary school at St Mary’s Cathedral. Thank you to all involved in organising this lovely occasion.

P2 went outside today to make clock times with our bodies on the big outdoor clock in the playground! We have been learning o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times. We had lots of fun!

P.2 have been learning about the sun moon and stars this term. We enjoyed playing with a sensory space themed tuff tray today.

Primary 2 have been developing their bat and ball skills in P.E the past few weeks. We are learning to hit a small ball to a target and partner. We are also learning to hold the bat correctly and control it as we make a hit.

P6 enjoyed a day trip to Edinburgh castle on Tuesday, where we learnt about Scotland’s heritage through an experimenting workshop and went around the castle to see the crown jewels! This linked nicely to our prior topic learning. 🏰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Primary 7 are continuing to enjoy their interest centres, with a focus on developing skills. We are continuing to explore sewing and video making, with some looking at new areas of building and jewellery making! 🧑‍💻🎥🪡

P4 have been learning about Egypt this term. Today we have been learning about mummification. We have been mummifying fruit, using operation to get out the organs just like the Egyptians, mummifying a teddy and creating fact files on mummies.

P6 had lots of reading fun for world book day! We enjoyed reading with the P2 class and created our own characters and stories, designed and made bookmarks, read our class novel and watched author talks online.

P3 have been busy writing and following instructions on 'How to Make a Fruit Kebab'.

World Book Day 2025- P.2 enjoyed reading books, listening to a new picture book story, drawing, reading with our P6 friends and contributing ideas to the whole school story book! What a busy but great day!

Children teaching others - In P2 today, Aoife read a story to the class at story time. She did this with so much expression and clarity. Well done, Aoife!

P.2 have been learning about how we have day and night on planet Earth. The children used our class globe and a torch to shine the “sun’s” light on different parts of the world. #Sciences #Sunmoonandstars
