P6 and @GlendevonELC children had great fun meeting in the school playground. Our P6 potential buddies are going to be great- there were smiles and excitement all round! #transitionsmattertome @MPS_Prim6and5 @MPS_Primary6 @MPS_7and6S

Lots of great moments today, but capturing @MPS_7and6S at the library was one of my favourites. They were all reading so intently, including Miss Scott enjoying an Alex Rider story! ❤️📚

Well done everyone. 👏We have celebrated and shared these successes in school - we are so delighted and proud of our very talented Maddiston writers. 🤗
So much talent in one room! Huge, huge thanks to our wonderful #WritingRammy winners for a funny, moving and inspiring evening. And, of course, thanks to @HelenMacKinven. Always so supportive. You've all made this a #BookWeekScotland to remember. #FalkirkWrites

When we play with small toys and resources, we are developing our motor skills and hand-eye coordination (and a long list of other skills). When we’re ready and motivated, we will choose to write through our play. @MpsMaddp2

We explored patterns within stories. We loved the story “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Can You See?” @MpsMaddp2

We were exploring many features of books today in P2M. Our word of the week is ‘spine’. Ask us to show you where you would find a spine on your body and on a book. We can even explain why our bodies and books need a spine. @MpsMaddp2

P2M were learning about patterns today. They used colour, shapes and objects to create their own patterns. @MpsMaddp2

We are looking to expand the types of texts we have available for our children to read. Can you donate any magazines, comics, joke books or old annuals? If so, please could these be put in the box at the front of the school from Monday 16th August. TIA @MPS_Reading @maddistonps

We hope families and children found their packs helpful today. We are still trying to overcome some technical issues to update the website with further information but we are working on it @GlendevonELC 🖥
