Letham Mains Primary School

P3a listened to a story about growth mindset called The Dot. We discussed the themes in the story about recognised that sometimes when things don't go to plan first time we have to keep trying. We created our own 'dots' afterwards. Don't they look amazing!

P3a have been working very hard since their return to school. We have started our Haddington topic, chosen our class novel and learned about classifying living and non-living things. We have created a lovely display linked to the BFG - dream jars and our dreams!

In P1b our shape of the day was a circle. We are also talking about zeros.

P1 enjoyed preparing a healthy snack and taking it outside for our yeargroup picnic on Wednesday afternoon! This followed the harvesting of our potatoes in P1a, when we’d made and tasted a potato salad! 🍌🍊🍎🍓🍒 #Article24 Have a lovely Summer everyone! ☀️

A busy morning in P6, working collaboratively to succeed in STEM challenges. And, we were so very lucky to have a former student video call us to share about her new life in Spain!

Well done and thank you to all who donated and supported our food drive! #makeachange

This week P1a asked to make Father’s Day cards. They loved looking at all the different designs and creating a card that best suited their dad! #pupilvoice #article12

P1a and P1c went on a mini beast hunt this week and were not afraid to get their hands dirty! We predicted what mini beasts we thought we would find and then went out for a look! Worms, bees, slugs, butterflies and even a… rosemary beetle! 🪲 🔍

P7 have been working so hard on their personal project presentations over the last few weeks and they finally got to present them to P3b. What a lot of hard work has gone into them and the P3s loved hearing about all the different subjects...thanks for sharing these with us!

Fun with Fractions in P3b this week. We have been using our fractions skills to work out word problems and order fractions using a number line. Great work everyone!
