World of Work Week

We are really looking forward to our world of work week.  We will be thinking about what we would like to be when we are older and the skills we will need to achieve this.  We are lucky enough to have lots of visits throughout the week and will have the chance to role play different occupations.  Keep checking the blog for updates on our work.

As our week will be so busy with lots of exciting activities, we will not be doing reading.  Children can still practise their words and sounds.  It is also a good opportunity to talk to your child about their dreams for the future.  You can find further information  and share your child’s dreams on:

Scottish Poem

As part of our Burn’s Day celebration on 25th January, the children in P1 have been asked to learn a Scottish poem ‘Wee Jaikie Peerie’.  We will listen to all the poems on Wednesday 18th in class.  Please help your child to prepare, encouraging using a clear voice and expression.  The winner of the poetry competition will have the opportunity to say the poem to the whole school during the Burns assembly. Good luck everyone!

Wee Jaikie Peerie
Sat on a cheerie
Howkin oot plooms fae a flan.
He lickit his fingers,
An said ‘They’re humdingers-
Fit a smairt little birkie I am!’
