We have had a brilliant first week at school and have all had great fun meeting our teachers and making new friends.  We have explored our classroom and all the different learning areas.

We have a daily clock that shows us all the activities we will be doing.  We take it in turns to move the arrow around to the next activity.

We are counting the number of days that we have been in Primary 1.  Every day we add a number to our number square.

Dens Road is a health promoting school so every day  at playtime we have fruit to eat.  On Thursday we visited Miss Gauld in her area to taste and learn about different fruits.  Miss Gauld prepared seven different fruits for us to try.   The selection was watermelon, dates, peaches, apricot, pineapple, lemon and mango.

We all enjoyed tasting the different fruits and deciding which was our favourite.  They were all so delicious it was difficult to choose one!  We added our favourites to a chart on the wall.

The most popular fruit was watermelon.  Miss Gauld has said that she will make sure we have some watermelon to enjoy in our playtime fruit box.  Delicious!!
