P7 High School Transition
We are incredibly proud of all our P7 pupils who returned to High school this week for their second set of visits. During the two-day visit, pupils followed their timetable to give them a good flavour of S1. The induction days provided a valuable opportunity for pupils not only to experience aspects of the High School curriculum, but also to meet pupils from other cluster schools and begin building positive relationships with key staff members ahead of their transition.

All of our P7s represented the school brilliantly with their enthusiasm, confidence and excellent behaviour. Well done to everyone involved!


P1 Transition/Nursery Update
Thank you to all parents and carers who attended our recent P1 information session. It was lovely to welcome you into Camdean Primary School and share an overview of what to expect as your child begins their P1 journey. During the session, families had the opportunity to meet members of the Senior Leadership Team and listen to a short presentation outlining key routines, expectations and ways to support your child as they settle into school.

At the same time, children from Camdean Nursery visited their new classrooms and met their P1 teacher. Children joining us from other nurseries were also supported to visit their class and begin to familiarise themselves with the school environment.
Parents were invited to visit the P1 classrooms, meet the teachers and see where learning will take place. This provided a valuable opportunity to build connections and support a smooth transition for everyone.

We were delighted with how well the children engaged during their visits and are very much looking forward to welcoming them back in August as our new P1 learners.


Sports Day
Weather permitting, Sports Day will take place on Thursday 18th June in the upper playground at the following times:
• Primary 1–3: 9.30–10.30am
• Primary 4–7: 11.15–12.15pm

Please wear an international strip, country colours, or sports clothing (no club strips). Ensure sun cream is applied if needed and bring a water bottle.
If the event has to be cancelled due to poor weather, children will take part in World Cup–themed activities in school.


⚽️🌍 World Cup Celebration 🌍⚽️
As part of our Sports Day celebrations on Thursday 18th of June, we will be adding a World Cup theme to some of the day's activities.

Children are invited to wear an international football strip or the colours of a country they would like to represent. Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to take part in some fun World Cup-themed competitions and challenges.

Our normal Sports Day events and activities will still take place as planned – the World Cup activities are simply an extra way for children to enjoy the day and celebrate the spirit of international sport.

If your child does not have an international football strip, that's absolutely fine – they can wear the colours of a country of their choice instead. Please do not go out and buy anything specially for the day.

Please note: club football strips should not be worn; we would love to see children representing international teams and countries instead.

We look forward to seeing everyone join in the fun and showing their international colours! ⚽️🏆


⭐ Assembly Focus
This week in assemblies, we learned about the history of the FIFA World Cup, exploring how the tournament has grown and developed over time, as well as some memorable players and moments along the way. We used this as a starting point to focus on positive role models, discussing qualities such as kindness, respect, teamwork and trying your best. We also explored role models beyond sport, thinking about people in our everyday lives who set a good example. We recognised that not all behaviour we see is positive and thought about how we can learn from those moments too. This linked closely to our school value of being a model student, as we reflected on our own behaviour and how younger children may look up to us, encouraging us all to be positive role models every day.


Nursery Leavers’ Celebration

We are looking forward to celebrating our nursery leavers who will be starting Primary 1 in August. Families are warmly invited to join us for this special occasion in the school gym hall at 9.45am.

If your child does not usually attend nursery on a Wednesday, you are still very welcome to come along and be part of the celebration. We hope you can join us for this special milestone.

A Digital Milestone for Primary 5
It has been a busy and exciting week in school, particularly for our Primary 5 pupils, who received their iPads on Thursday afternoon. Our own Miss Kane – now a fully qualified Apple Coach – led the pupils through the initial set-up process, including how to store files and how to stay safe online. A parent guide will be shared shortly to support families with this transition.

Miss Kane and the Primary 5 teachers were extremely impressed by the pupils’ focus and digital skills during the session. The iPads are now ready for use when pupils return as Primary 6, and will not be sent home until after the summer holidays.

Congratulations to Miss Kane on achieving her Apple Coach qualification. We are delighted to have this expertise within our team and look forward to her continued support in enhancing digital literacy across the school.

Sports Day
Unfortunately, due to the very mixed weather this week, we had to postpone our Sports Day. It has now been rescheduled for Thursday 18th June.
• Primary 1–3: 9.30–10.30
• Primary 4–7: 11.15–12.15
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Fife Music Service Instrumental Instructor Concert
Primary 4 enjoyed attending the Fife Music Service Instrumental Instructor Concert, where they experienced a wide variety of performances from over 50 talented musicians. The programme included classical pieces alongside familiar music from films, television, sports, and even computer games.
The children were particularly excited to spot Mrs Kelso performing in the orchestra and were keen to ask her about opportunities for woodwind lessons in the upper school.
A huge thank you to the staff and PSAs who supported the visit, and to the parents and carers who kindly volunteered their time to accompany the classes.

Assembly Focus
This week in our upper assembly, we learned about World Environment Day and discussed the impact of climate change on our planet. We looked at how it affects weather, wildlife and natural environments, and considered practical ways we can make a difference, such as reducing waste, recycling and being mindful of energy use. The children each set themselves a challenge to make one small change that can help the environment.

Nursery Update
We were delighted to welcome Elena’s Grandad, who is a beekeeper, into nursery this week. He shared his knowledge about bees with the children, bringing our recent learning to life following last week’s insect walk. The children were fascinated as they learned more about how bees live and the important role they play in our environment. As a special treat, he kindly donated jars of his own locally produced honey along with oatcakes for the children to taste at afternoon snack – a wonderful opportunity to support and celebrate local produce. 🐝❤️

The children have also been enjoying their outdoor football sessions on the grass. We began with a warm-up, building confidence through simple ball skills such as kicking and running. The children practised dribbling around cones and developed their control of the ball, before moving on to passing with a partner, focusing on teamwork and turn-taking. A highlight was the penalty shootout, where the children aimed for goals from different distances while developing their counting skills.

School Holiday
A reminder that Monday 1st June is a Fife School holiday.

P2/3 & P3 Visit the National Museum of Scotland
Our P2/3 and P3 classes recently enjoyed a fantastic educational visit to the National Museum of Scotland. The children had a wonderful time exploring the many fascinating exhibits and taking part in exciting learning experiences linked to their classroom topics.

One of the highlights of the trip was discovering the Egyptian artefacts. The pupils were amazed by the ancient objects, including mummies, hieroglyphics and statues, and enjoyed learning about life in Ancient Egypt. The visit brought their learning to life and inspired lots of thoughtful questions and discussions.

The children represented the school beautifully throughout the day with their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and curiosity. A huge thank you goes to the teachers and PSAs who helped organise and support the visit, as well as to the parents and carers who volunteered their time to accompany the classes.

P7 High School Transition
We are incredibly proud of all our P7 pupils who attended their first set of induction days at High School yesterday and today. During the visit, pupils took part in a range of activities across the curriculum. Yesterday the focus was on Literacy, Numeracy and STEAM, while today centred on Health and Wellbeing.

The induction days provided a valuable opportunity for pupils not only to experience aspects of the High School curriculum, but also to meet pupils from other cluster schools and begin building positive relationships with key staff members ahead of their transition.

All of our P7s represented the school brilliantly with their enthusiasm, confidence and excellent behaviour. Well done to everyone involved!


⭐ Assembly Focus
This week in assemblies we learned all about Vesak, sometimes known as Buddha Day. Vesak is a special celebration for Buddhists around the world. It marks the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. We found out how people celebrate by visiting temples, giving to others, decorating with lanterns and taking time to think about kindness and respect.

Children also shared their own examples of how people have been kind to them over the past few days, helping us to see how small acts of kindness can make a big difference to how we feel. This links to our wellbeing indicators of being respectful and responsible, as we think about how our actions can help others and make the world a kinder place.

Nursery Update
This week we have been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to introduce the butterfly life cycle and the idea that living things grow and change. Through the story, we have learned about the stages of a butterfly — egg, caterpillar, chrysalis/cocoon and butterfly — while also developing counting, sequencing, and vocabulary skills. Some children went to the gym, acting out the story, ordering lifecycle pictures, creating butterfly crafts, and using sequencing cards to retell the story. We have all been keeping an eye on our caterpillars, they are growing so big!! If you would like to look or add learning from home to our learning please just ask.

We are continuing P1 transitions, visiting various parts of the school and grounds. The nursery children also enjoyed their sports day this week. Please see Seesaw for some fantastic photos of the day!

Babcock Festival of Engineering
Our Primary 6/7 and Primary 7 pupils had an excellent opportunity to attend Babcock’s Festival of Engineering in Rosyth, where they joined over 300 school children in a highly engaging, hands-on STEM experience.

Throughout the day, pupils took part in a range of interactive challenges, including ship buoyancy, bridge building, robotics and communication tasks, as well as immersive virtual reality activities. These experiences encouraged teamwork, creativity and problem-solving, while helping pupils to see how their learning connects to real-world engineering contexts.

The event, supported by apprentices and industry partners, gave our pupils valuable insight into the wide range of careers within engineering and technology. It was particularly inspiring for them to hear how early experiences like this can lead to future opportunities, including apprenticeships.

Our pupils represented Camdean Primary exceptionally well, demonstrating enthusiasm, curiosity and resilience in tackling new challenges. The visit helped to raise aspirations and broaden their understanding of STEM pathways, reinforcing the importance of these skills for Scotland’s future.


Response Text Types
As part of our school improvement work in writing, pupils from P1, P3 and P6/7 shared with the leadership team the different ways they record their response text types. Children demonstrated how they use a range of approaches, including jotters, templates, Freeform and Microsoft Word, to support how they organise and present their ideas to their class teacher.


⭐ Assembly Focus
This week in assemblies, we have been learning all about Walk to School Week. We talked about how walking, scooting or cycling to school helps keep our bodies healthy, our minds happy, and our planet clean. This connects to the Healthy wellbeing indicator, as we explored ways to stay active and look after our bodies each day. We also learned about the different journeys children in Scotland and around the world make to get to school, including travelling by boat. Well done to everyone who has taken part and given it a go!

Nursery Update
Our Nursery children are continuing to enjoy their P1 transition visits, exploring different areas of the school and outdoor grounds. Our lifecycle learning wall is continuing to develop, alongside our growing caterpillars—please do take a look if you are in the Nursery. For regular updates, please remember to check our Seesaw pages.

Class Update – Primary 4
This week Primary 4 enjoyed a visit to Dynamic Earth. Our children were a credit to the school throughout the visit, and their excellent behaviour was praised by members of the public, staff at the venue, and even a teacher from another school.
They enjoyed exploring the wide range of exhibits, with particular highlights including the time machine, the earthquake simulator, and the opportunity to touch an iceberg. A real treat was the expert-led planetarium show, Don’t Panic, which took them on a fascinating journey through the history of the universe.
The visit concluded with an engaging workshop, Destination Space, where the children deepened their understanding of space through hands-on learning. They launched mini rockets, recreated the phases of the moon, and even made a gravity-defying substance.
It was a fantastic day, full of memorable experiences and rich learning opportunities for all. A huge thank you to all the teachers and parent helpers, without whom the trip would not have been possible.


⭐ Assembly Focus
In assemblies this week, we focused on our value of equality. We talked about how being fair isn’t always about treating everyone exactly the same, it’s about making sure everyone gets what they need.

We learned about equity, which means giving people the right support so they can succeed. We discussed how some children might need a bit more help than others, and that’s okay.

We shared examples of what this can look like in school, such as giving extra time with work, offering different ways to learn, or providing a quiet space when needed. This helped children understand that fairness means supporting everyone in the right way so we can all do our best.


Nursery Update
This week we have been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to introduce the butterfly life cycle and the idea that living things grow and change. Through the story, we have learned about the stages of a butterfly — egg, caterpillar, chrysalis/cocoon and butterfly — while also developing counting, sequencing, and vocabulary skills.

Sharing the Learning – Numeracy and Maths
We were delighted that over 180 parents/carers attended the Maths Sharing the Learning session on Wednesday. The Primary 7 classes were especially busy, with many of the parents sharing it would be their final visit! Classes across the school shared a range of activities including simplifying fractions, money, time, addition, multiplication, to name a few. The parental feedback from the session was incredibly positive and included these comments…’A bittersweet moment at our last sharing the learning – so proud of how far our son has come…it has been a pleasure to see him and his peers flourish,’ ‘It has been lovely to see the learning my son is doing in class...he is improving so much,’ ‘These sessions are great! I love getting to see the learning environment and how he interacts at school,’ ‘It was lovely to come in and see all different set ups and different levels for them to challenge themselves.’

Cluster Football Tournament
The Camdean P5-7 football team had their first football tournament this week. They won two games and lost two games. We were very proud that they came 3rd overall. 3 of our players also got awards for players of the tournament and sporting integrity! Considering this was their first tournament, their coaches Miss Kane & Mrs Wilson were extremely proud ⚽️

IHS Ambassadors Visit Caledonia High School Site
Our P7 High School Ambassadors, Archie and Annie visited the building site of the new Caledonia High School this week. They enjoyed a guided tour of the accessible areas and explored completed classrooms and science labs. Their visit was captured in photographs and plans, which have now been incorporated into a PowerPoint presentation by Building Services. This will be shared with our pupils at an upcoming assembly — an inspiring glimpse into their future learning environment!

⭐ Assembly Focus
This week in our P4–7 assembly, we focused on the wellbeing indicator ‘Healthy’ and learned about Mental Health Awareness Week (11th–17th May). We talked about how important it is to look after our minds, just like we look after our bodies.

This year’s theme is “Take Action,” and children shared simple ways to support their mental health, such as getting enough sleep, spending time outdoors, playing with friends and enjoying hobbies. We explored how small actions like these can help us feel happy, calm and supported.

We reminded everyone that it’s okay to not feel okay sometimes, and that it’s always a good idea to share what’s on your mind with a trusted adult so they can help.

HT Update 5th May 2026

We were delighted to welcome a visit from the Head of Education, Angela Logue, on Friday morning, along with Mrs Crawford (QIO) and Mrs Mullan (HT). Mrs Logue visited to learn more about our 2 year writing programme, as well as the wider aspects of our literacy improvement work. She also toured the school and nursery.
She was particularly impressed with our partnership with Network Rail, including the graffiti project in the nursery garden and the ongoing developments in the sensory garden. Mrs Logue also commented on the high level of engagement from all children across the school and nursery, and the positive impact our literacy improvement work is having on attainment.

Sharing the Learning
Our next Sharing the Learning session for parents/carers will take place on Wednesday 6th May from 9.30–10.15am. This will provide an opportunity for you to come into school and see your child’s learning in Maths.
There will also be an opportunity to collect free household and food items, kindly donated by Amazon Warehouse.


Assembly Focus
In our P1–3 assembly, pupils explored how to be a good friend and how to sort out worries or fallouts calmly. Linked to the wellbeing indicators Safe, Respected and Responsible, we focused on helping children feel confident to share their feelings and look after one another.

In our P4–7 assembly, as the weather improves and some of our older pupils begin to enjoy more independence when playing, we encouraged them to reflect on making positive choices both in school and out in the community. Through discussion and video, we considered how our actions can affect others, including the responsible use of mobile phones. We focused on the wellbeing indicators Safe, Respected and Responsible, encouraging thoughtful behaviour in a range of situations, whether out playing, online or in communication with others.

⭐ Assembly Focus
This week in assemblies we learned all about World Earth Day, which takes place every year on 22nd April. We talked about why it is important to look after our planet and how even small actions can make a big difference. We learned about reducing waste, recycling, saving energy and caring for nature, and how we can all help to protect the Earth for future generations.

We also discussed the wellbeing indicator Responsible. We talked about what it means to be responsible, asking questions such as “Am I always responsible for my actions?” and thinking about how our choices and behaviour can affect other people and the world around us.
