P1 visit Moat Brae
Primary One had a fantastic trip to Moat Brae.
When we arrived we met Charlotte who told us all about the importance of Moat Brae. To help her she introduced us to Jamie Barrie – he told us that he wrote Peter Pan!
Next we went on a tour of the house. We sat at the big table and were given our pirate name.
We got to look at a room full of books and listen to a story, explore Wendy’s bedroom, chase after Tinkerbell and Peter Pan and play with lots of cool story props.
A favourite part of the tour was dressing up and performing on the big stage upstairs.
After lunch we got to play outside on the adventure playground – it was amazing!
We had a fantastic day!

P1R Celebrate Chinese New Year
P1R have been learning a little bit about Chinese New Year.
We read the story behind why Chinese New Year is celebrated and how the Chinese calendar came to be.
We practised our ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) whilst retelling the story.
We learnt that this year is the year of the tiger 🐯. Most of us in P1R are born in the year of the monkey 🐒 but two of us were born in the year of the goat 🐐!
We had a go at drawing some fantastic Chinese Dragons 🐲…
We also had a go at a Chinese Dragon dance…
