Weekly Round-Up

What a busy week we have had.  Here are a few more pictures from our amazing trip on Wednesday.

The children have been enjoying some lovely ‘Health Week’ activities this week.  There has been fruit tasting as well as some outdoor maths activities and we even joined the ECC children for their Zumba session. It was great fun.

Big Talks and other fun

The children did an amazing job on their big talks this week. They were so confident when talking about what they want to be when they grow up and we loved seeing the posters and drawings they had made.

Here are some of the other activities we got up to this week:

 

Next week is a very busy week with Health Week, Sports day and our very first School Trip so stay tuned for lots of photos!

Week Ending 27th May

Another busy week in Primary 1.

We have been doing time in maths and have been learning about ‘O’clock’ times.

On Wednesday we had the World of Work Day and had great fun dressing up as different occupations and thinking about what we would like to be when we grow up.

We were learning the ‘oa’ digraph in literacy and had fun playing with the foam and making boats.

On Friday we had our last transition visit with the children from the ECC.

Week Ending 13th May

We had great fun this week in Primary 1.  Here are a few pictures from our busy week.

We really enjoyed going on our walk around the village.

We continued our work on patterns in maths and tried to make some more complex patterns this week. We also started to look at number patterns such as counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.  Perhaps you could practice this at home.

We had great fun playing out in the Imagination Station with Mrs Cooper.  We have turned it into a Police Station and the children were exploring different ways of measuring.

We worked hard on our dictation this week, using our sounds and key words to write sentences.

We had another lovely visit from the ECC children who came to see where they will be working when they are in P1 next year. It was great fun playing with them and showing them all our lovely resources.

Finally, we would like to say a HUGE congratulations to Logan B who won second place in the Catrine Show Art competition. We were so proud of him! Well Done, Logan!

 

Week Ending 6th May

We had a short but fun-filled week in Primary One this week.

On Tuesday it was Mrs Ferguson’s very special birthday so we made her cards and a beautiful banner to surprise her. It was also Riley’s birthday so he got the first piece of the yummy chocolate cake was got for Mrs F!

In Maths this week we have been continuing to learn about symmetry and started learning about pattern too.

Another busy week in Primary One

What a busy week we have had! At the beginning of the week some of the children were showing an interest in magnets so Mrs Ferguson got lots of magnets out for them to explore.

In Maths we have been learning about Symmetry and we made symmetrical models and paintings and played a game where we had to match our partner’s pegs to make it symmetrical.

On Thursday afternoon the Primary 7 buddies asked if they could lead our PE session outside so they played parachute games with us and we had great fun.

On Monday afternoon and Friday morning we had some transition events with the children from the ECC who are coming into P1 after the summer.  Some of us went down to the ECC and some stayed up in the class and we had so much fun playing with the new children and showing them around our class and exploring the ECC.

Enjoy your long Weekend.  We will see you back on Tuesday when we will be celebrating Mrs Ferguson’s very special birthday (The children guessed 90!!)

Fun in the Sun!

We had so much fun playing outside yesterday afternoon.  We developed our gross motor skills by building, climbing, jumping and balancing.  We had been talking about the Queen’s upcoming Platinum Jubilee and some of the children used this as inspiration to build a giant throne to sit on.

We also drew with the chalks and had fun chilling out in the sunshine.  We finished our afternoon with a lovely story outside.

The Last Week of Term Three

What a busy week we have had! We had great fun on our walk to the park.

We loved playing with our new coloured scarves.

We made some lovely Easter themed crafts.

We decorated our Easter Eggs for the competition.  Don’t they look fabulous?

Congratulations to Charlotte whose Minnie Mouse egg was picked as the winner.

Today the P7s had organised a fun day and we went outside for some sports activities and an egg hunt.

Mrs Ferguson and I wish you a very Happy Easter and hope you all have a lovely time off.  We will see you back on Tuesday 19th April ready to start term four.

A Fun Week in Primary One

We had great fun playing outside with the older children this week.

In maths we have been learning to make amounts up to 10p using different coins.

Look at this amazing example of teamwork when completing the jigsaw.

Here are our VIPs for the week.  They all enjoyed getting some fantastic compliments from the other children and staff.

The report cards were sent home today so we hope you enjoy looking through them and finding out how wonderful your children are.  Remember to check the book bags for a special gift for all the Mums for Sunday!
