Today we had Liz Ferrall from the Bat Conservation for Scotland visiting our class. She told us more about different bat species in Scotland, their anatomy and where they could live. We discovered some bats live close to our school! Fantastic listening throughout the presentation! Well done all P1’s!

We were learning about the properties of 2D shapes today! We used straws and Lego to check how many sides and corners each shape had. We also had to select specific shapes to make animal pictures. Well done everyone!

P1M making sure they can form the sounds we have learned sofar! We used pens on paper, Lego and even our bodies to form the sounds!

As our class topic is ‘Our Environment’, we went for a walk in our playground environment and collected some objects to help us fill an empty autumn tree. We looked at various creatures and plants! We took time to look at the sky, the pupils described this as‘beautiful’!
