The children had great fun decorating their eggs for the Easter Egg competition.  Their ideas were so creative and imaginative.  Easter has been the theme in our class this week and the children have been making models of Easter bunnies as well as completing Easter themed activities and making Easter cards.

We hope you all enjoy your two weeks off and we will see you again after the holidays, ready for the final term of Primary One!

A fun-filled week in Primary 1.  In maths we were learning about money. In the afternoons we brought out the dressing up box and had great fun role playing and using our imaginations.  Mr McCreath gave us a huge box from a delivery and we had so much fun pretending it was a bus to Kilmarnock and then a ship sailing in the sea.

The children have been working hard in class to earn Dojo points and as a result of getting a total of 3000 points we had a disco party on Friday afternoon.  It was so much fun! Well done P1 for working so hard!

This week for our Numeracy Homework, we are continuing to learn about money.  It is called ‘Chinese Lion Dance’.  Please complete and return by Monday 27th March.

We have also been enjoying playing Money games on the iPads and Laptops.  Some of the children have asked to play these at home.  You can click on the link below to play a variety of money games:

Thanks again for your support,

As it was British Science Week we had great fun exploring and playing with the plasma machine.

In literacy we were doing some revision of the previous sounds and really focusing on letter formation.  In maths we continued to work on coin recognition.

In PE we practised throwing , rolling and kicking towards a target.

Please remind the children to check their bags on Sunday morning as there may or may not be a nice wee surprise for all the Mummies in the class if they were here on Friday afternoon.

What a busy week in Primary One!  This week in numeracy we started our money topic and the children have been learning to identify coins up to £2.  We have been doing lots of different money related activities in class such as sorting coins, coin rubbing, creating a shop and playing different games.  If you could continue to practise this at home that would be amazing as it’s quite a tricky concept to learn.

In literacy we learned the letter q which is part of the ‘qu’  phoneme as well as the letter ‘x’. We made crowns fit for a queen. We drew quacking ducks and quad bikes and we played at doctors giving x-rays as well as making treasure maps with X marking the spot.

This week we are starting to focus on money so our homework is all about different coins.  It is called ‘Recognising Coins’.  Please complete and return by Monday 13th March.

We have had a short but busy week here in P1.  The highlight of the week was definitely welcoming the families in to see the new class and have a wee play.  Here are some pictures of the lovely morning we had.  Thank you to all who were able to attend.  The children loved showing off their new class and getting to show you their favourite activities.

In literacy this week we have been focusing on writing.  On Monday we wrote a set of instructions to tell people how to wash their hands and on Thursday, we wrote a book review for world book day.  We reviewed the book ‘Dogger’ by Shirley Hughes and the children wrote about their favourite part of the story.

For World Book Day we teamed up with the Primary 7s to do some paired reading.  We loved cosying in with them and reading some of our favourite stories with our buddies.
