It has been another great week here in P1M.  The boys and girls have completed their first few full days of school and have managed well.  Being a primary 1 is hard work and can be very tiring, so make sure you are all getting plenty of well earned rest!

On Friday the children were all able to take part in a ‘Dress up Purple’ for CLAN.  Lots of the boys and girls came to school wearing something purple and lots of pennies were raised – Well Done Everyone!

Monday brought our first full day in P1.  The children began the day with assembly and Fraser was crowned this weeks ‘Star of the Week’ for being a super helper at tidy up time.   After their snack the children learnt their next sound ‘t’ and made their very own paper tee-pee’s!  In the afternoon we had our first singing session with Miss Hamilton.  We all loved learning funny songs and joining in with the actions.

Tuesday brought the introduction of our fine motor activities that we do at our tables when we have finished unpacking our bags in the morning.

We were busy screwing nuts and bolts, taking lids off jars, pegging our washing lines and threading pipe cleaners in colanders!

As well as fine motor skills in the morning we were practicing choosing play jobs off our play charts.  We are getting really good at remembering this and we know that they change each day so we have new play jobs to go to when we have finished our table jobs.

On Tuesday afternoon Mrs MacKinnon took us out to visit the ‘Daily Mile’ route.  We walked all around it so we know where to go when we start running our Daily Mile very soon!

On Wednesday Mrs Moir invited Mary the lollypop lady in to visit us. As we are learning about people who care for us Mrs Moir thought it would be a great idea for everyone to meet Mary and then write a story about what she does to help us.

We were very lucky as we got to see Mary’s special uniform and even got to hold her lollypop!

On Wednesday afternoon we visited the library with P5/6 for paired reading.  This was another new experience for us and we loved meeting our new paired reading partners and hearing them read us a story.

We look forward to another fabulous week here in P1M 🙂
