As part of their health and wellbeing work P4 have been making dioramas of their ideal safe space. The classes worked hard on these and they look amazing! We thought you might like to see some.

Trees stand tall like soldiers

Their leaves swaying in the breeze

Branches whisper secrets in a creaky voice

The trees are as tall as sky scrapers.

The sun is a bright explosion

Shinning down on the trees

When it is bright the birds are singing

Everyone likes the sun.

Deer galloping

As fast as cheetahs

Birds chirping loudly

Bunnies bouncing lively

When I am calm, I am a forest.

We enjoyed hosting some students and staff from Tokyo Kaesi University in school this morning. Mrs Sloan from our Nursery gave the students a talk about and a tour of our Nursery before they visited our P1 classes and showed them how to make dragonfly toys from recycled juice containers and straws. After break the students gave our P3 classes a short presentation on Japan and showed everyone how to make a Samari helmet from newspaper. The students also taught us all a few words of Japanese.

A lovely day in school today celebrating our 20th Birthday! Lots of work in classrooms around the number 20 and some of our older pupils wrote some poems too. We enjoyed lunch of party food, sandwiches, sausage rolls, mini quiche, fruit bags and birthday cake before a whole school birthday party on the field with games like Musical Bumps, Birthday Corners and The Grand Old Duke of York. We finished off by singing Happy Birthday before enjoying ice poles provide by our PTA.

It’s Currie Primary’s 20th birthday,

Although pupils can change ,

 so can the rules ,the days, the months ,the years.

We started with books, notes and pencils,

Now with our iPads and headphones,

We are happier than ever,.

Celebrating Currie Primary’s golden birthday ,

Outdoor lunch, music and dance ,

What more can we ask for?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Currie Primary is our school,

Life here is delightful.

It’s 20 years old and it feels so young.

As the school bells rung

Home to many students alike

That climb and hike

Goals so high.

Students who endeavour

Will find themselves better than ever

Since 2005 are friendships have never been better

Now in 2025 the memories are however 

Strong . . .

Happy birthday Currie Primary!

Currie Primary is our school ,

It’s their 20th birthday and that rules,

We feel so cool at the top of the school,

Our field makes us squeal,

And the playground is unreal,

It’s makes us feel phenomenal,

This is our school and we love it to bits.

Police Scotland asked some P5 children and The Nursery if we could help decorate their new litter picker stations. The Men’s Shed made these fantastic stations and the children had great fun designing and decorating them. The litter picker stations are heading up to Harlaw Reservoir very soon to encourage our local community to pick up any litter whilst out for a walk. 

Today we were very lucky to have PC James May and his colleague visit us. They talked about the project and then let the children try on uniforms and handcuffs as well as getting a turn in the police van. What a great morning we had! 

Currie Primary 7’s entered an A team and a B team in to the Meadowspot on Thursday evening. What a night, lots of brilliant football played and the boys were all so motivated, energised and in good spirits. Real team camaraderie from start to finish. Both teams won their respective cups! Amazing result, very well deserved and what a way to end primary 7 football! The boys were buzzing as were the parents!

Our Samba band performing at our Diversity day assembly!

We had such a lovely day in school on Friday celebrating and embracing who we are and sharing our wonderful diverse cultures we are lucky to have ion our school family. The children all chose a workshop to attend from Spinning, Weaving And Dyeing, Chinese Dumpling Making, Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls, Polish Lesson (And Sweets), Turkish Language and Story telling, Chinese Calligraphy, Yoga and traditional games, British Sign language, Amber Craft & Beewax Candle Making, Origami Craft, American Football or Handball, Kabaddi, Brazilian Samba Music, Indian Dance Workshop, Canadian Maple Leaf Art Activity, Wicked Drama, Australian Aboriginal Dot Painting. We finished off with a school sharing assembly where we got to find out a little bit about what everyone had been up to. It was wonderful to see so many people dressing in national costumes or wearing something representing their country.

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers and staff who ran the workshops and to Miss Conry for organising everything for us.

P6 enjoyed a fabulous time at Boanly this week on our EPIC Day, crate building, hill walking, low ropes course, bushcraft, stream scramble and lots more! A great finish to their outdoor learning throughout the year!

We are delighted to have received notification this week that we have achieved recognition from Sports Scotland for the high quality sports curriculum we offer here at Currie Primary School in the form of our Schools Sports Gold Award. This is the top level of award Sports Scotland give to schools in Scotland. At present, there are only 7 other Primaries and 5 High Schools in Edinburgh with this level of award. We achieved this award for the first time back in 2019 and it is fantastic that we have been able to maintain the status at such a high level.

A huge thank you to Mr Donaldson and everyone on our Sports Council for the time and effort that has gone into achieving this award. Events such as Sports Day, Fitness Friday and Inter House Competitions as well as staff attending CPD events that helped gain the award. Other areas like pupils leading learning, the Colinton Tennis Project, visiting clubs like Hearts/Simon Say Dance/Currie Chieftains and a varied Physical Education curriculum all played a key role in receiving Gold.

Well done everyone, a lovely way to end the school year!
