Good afternoon everyone and thank you for visiting our blog.

This week has been busy in Primary 1 as we have been helping Miss Stephens to deliver Read, Write, Inc. workshops to our nursery parents. We helped to teach the parents all about how we learn to read and write in primary 1.

We have been learning about fractions this week. We learned to recognise a half and quarter of a pizza, and share cubes equally into different groups.

We also made special cards this week. If you’re lucky, you might get one on Sunday!

In our Science lessons we learned about what animals eat. We learned that some animals eat plants only and they are called herbivores, that some animals eat meat and are called carnivores and some animals eat both and are called omnivores.

In our Health lesson we learned all about how to look after a baby. We found out that babies cry when they are trying to communicate, that they need to have milk for the first six months after they are born and that they need lots of love and attention.

We also got to do something very special on Friday afternoon. We got to meet a little foal and mare! Mrs Wilson from the office, her daughter Lisa and her father in law brought their little pony and her mother in for us to meet. They were both so cute and some of us got to touch them! Here are a few photos.

This week we have learning about food chains and we made a little model to show the transfer of energy from a producer to a consumer. We have also been learning about different groups of animals. We know that vertebrate animals have a backbone and invertebrate animals do not have a backbone.

We have also been learning about parts of our body and we created super posters which labelled the different parts.

In writing we worked hard to write all about the activities we took part in at Sports Day.

In Spanish this week we learned how to write all about The Very Hungry Caterpillar story. We had great fun.

We have been learning about Islam and today we labelled the inside of a mosque  – Michael

We have been learning about how to look after the animals and insects in our playground and we went on a litter pick – Hanna

I was shocked about how much litter was dropped in our playground – Alexis

We got to take our sunflowers home this week  – Rory and Liam

We have been making Scottish wildlife posters  – Jared

We have been learning a new sound. The sound is a split digraph and it makes the i _e sound – Bryce

Miss Stephens had a bouncy hopper race and it was very funny – Abby

We were practising for Sport’s Day and Miss Stephens was taking part in half of the races – Beth

Sport’s Day

On Wednesday the 6th of June, we will be taking part in Sport’s Day. The boys and girls can come to school wearing their sports clothes and it would be really helpful if they wore a t-shirt which was the same colour as their house team. No football tops please.

Also, it would be really helpful if the children can have sun cream applied before coming to school and bring a water bottle too.

You are welcome to come and see your child at Sport’s Day. We will start our races at 1pm on the grassy area beside the MUGA. Please stay in the designated Spectator area. We hope to see you there.
