Our Primary 7 buddies gave us a massage this afternoon. We love getting a peer massage because it helps us to relax and calm down in school. Our buddies are also teaching us how to do peer massages so that we can massage our classmates and buddies, too!
This week is our first homework week (though this homework can be “turned in” until next Friday so there is no rush).
I have provided your child with a little paper bag in which pupils should collect three items that represent them. This task will encourage children to talk about themselves and will help us to get to know each other.
It would be great if you could practise at home with your child what they could say about each item. Maybe your child could do a wee fun presentation to you and siblings or other family members before bringing the bag into school.
Here is my own All About Me bag as an example:
Hello, I’m Mrs Kane and I have brought in 3 things today to help me tell you all about me.
My first item is a piece of wool that I have knitted. It is a test piece for a sweater I’m knitting just now. I love to knit, crochet and sew. My favourite colour is purple which is why I chose this wool for my sweater.
My next item is a sheep. Sheep are my favourite animals because they remind me of Scotland and I love seeing them in the fields. My best friend gave me this sheep.
My last item is a piece of cheese because I love cheese, it’s my favourite snack!
I can’t wait to see all the lovely All About Me bags the class will bring in and we will also share some of them on here if possible.
Have fun with this homework!
What a busy and exciting week it has been for all of us! We’ve been busy settling into our routines, getting to know each other and getting used to our classroom. We’ve also started learning and are off to a great start!
Have a look at all of the different things we have been doing in the gallery below. They included:
* lots of different morning activities to help us develop our fine motor skills and social interactions
* playing board games with our P7 buddies
* painting a paper plate and glueing on tissue paper for hair to create a lovely self portrait
* writing and drawing our favourite summer holiday memory
* reading lots of exciting story books whilst enjoying our fruit
* exploring our lovely garden and playing on the timber trail
* doing some number work and playing maths games
* P1s learned their first sound
* our first assembly and our first PE lesson…how exciting!
I can’t wait to have just as exciting a week next week. Have a lovely weekend!

We have had a very busy day in our class today. We have gotten to know each other, played together, met up with our buddies and listened to stories.
Here are some pictures of us enjoying some of our activities in class:
Hello and welcome to our class blog!
The blog is still empty but I am hoping to be able to fill it soon with pictures and descriptions of our learning journey. You will also be able to find our term planners and homework information here in due course.
For now, I hope that you and your child will enjoy our first week in school and everyone settles in well.
I am looking forward to seeing you at the school gates.
