Our Scottish Wars of Independence topic is being well received in P4! We recently learned about the origins of Tartan, and used Disney movie stills as our inspiration to create our own Tartan! Thanks for the idea @kabercrombie_ We had great fun!

Last week, my P4 class learned about the reasons Valentine’s Day is celebrated. As part of an extended lesson, we created anonymous messages of love and kind for a classmate.

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

Primary 4 absolutely loved their novel study of the Creakers. Inspired by the story, we created our own display of Whiffington and The Woleb with its tunnels complete with Creakers collecting rubbish! @TomFletcher @MrsGiFletcher We thought you’d like to see! 💜

@DeanburnPS_P4R @DeanburnPS Huge congratulations to you both! You look incredible! 💕

Such a lovely two days spent at the Gillis Centre in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago, as I begin my journey to becoming a qualified Catholic Teacher 💛

Lovely to host teachers on the Catholic Teaching Certificate training course at The Gillis Centre in Edinburgh this week, run by Glasgow University

We prepared healthy Rocket Fruit Kebabs for ‘Make Food Fun’. Pupils were responsible for preparing the fruit before adding it to their skewer. They all look delicious 😋 🍏 🍊 🍇 #DPSHealthWeek24

‘Hello Joe, Come and See Us!’ during the schools tour in May.

@thebodycoach

Be Guest of Honour at our Opening Ceremony for our New Trim Track which has taken our whole school community 18months to raise the required £22,000!

What dedication to physical activity!

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

On Friday at my Placement school we were raising funds for @strathcarron1. P4/5 held a bake sale and raised over £700. Absolutely incredible! The staff had an afternoon tea after school. This was my entry for the “Great Grange Bake Off”. 💙

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

@DeanburnP2MC @Deanburnpcdfg Fabulous! Z was very excited to tell us all about it last night! 💙🖤

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

@DeanburnP2MC Well done today! A wonderful
Class assembly. P2MC did an amazing job 🌼💙

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

My P3 class were learning to identity onomatopoeia. We listened to popcorn cooking in the micro, then the children sorted sound and non-sound words into the correct categories. Plenary involved identifying at least 2 examples of onomatopoeia to create our class popcorn box!

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

We also made circuits with fruit battery cells, testing whether types of fruit or metal had an impact on the flow of electricity. Another excellent way to develop knowledge, as well as the opportunity for children to learn about how to conduct a fair test. SCN2-10a #STEMeducation

[Mrs Aitken @_MrsAitken]

Great idea to support children’s understanding of circuits and electricity. Today @UoD_ESW we made these circuit quiz cards using tinfoil to connect the Q and ANS. We then tested them using buzzers and bulbs! SCN2-10a #STEMeducation #DundeeUni #PGDE24

@DeanburnPS_P3 Excellent work P3! 💙
