We have reached the end of what has been an absolutely wonderful year in Primary 1. We are so proud of every single one of our pupils, who have achieved so much. We hope you all have a fantastic summer and we cannot wait to welcome you back as Primary 2s.

We were so lucky today to have a fantastic fun morning with our buddies before they head off to the academy!  Thank you for being fantastic buddies!

Although we were disappointed not to have family friends with us Primary 1 smashed their first Sports Day! Well done to everyone who tried their hardest and had the best fun.

We relaxed afterwards and enjoyed some delicious fruit. Big thank you to Tesco for donating this to the whole school.

Health Week 2026

What a fantastic Health Week we have had! Throughout the week, we have enjoyed a wide range of exciting activities, including visits from Childsmile, the Fire Service and Opticians, litter picking, laser tag, a silent disco, Kurling, food tasting with the Cotton Trail and our amazing family fun day!

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the visitors, organisations and community partners who gave up their time to make Health Week so special. Your support helped provide memorable experiences and valuable learning opportunities for our children. They all had a wonderful week!

This has been another busy week in Primary 1 with lots of exciting learning taking place.

In Literacy, we were introduced to the ‘ph’ digraph. We learned that two letters can work together to make one sound and enjoyed taking part in lots of activities to help us recognise and use our new sound. You could ask us if we can think of any words containing ‘ph’ at home.

It is wonderful to see how much progress we have all made in Primary 1. We are so proud of our work and are recognising our own progress with our writing targets.

In Numeracy, we have been practising counting in 10s and becoming more confident at spotting number patterns. We have also been learning about symmetry. We explored lines of symmetry and created our own symmetrical pictures by making both sides match.

As part of Health & Wellbeing, we have been learning all about our bodies and how they help us every day. We also discussed personal boundaries and learned about our “space bubbles”. We talked about the importance of respecting other people’s personal space and how we can help everyone feel safe and comfortable.

We all enjoyed singing this wee song about personal space and boundaries.

Here are some more pictures from across the week, including art with Mrs Ferguson and some parachute fun in P.E!

This has been another fantastic and very busy week in Primary 1. This week we say goodbye to our student teacher, Miss Kockaya who has had an excellent six weeks with us in Primary 1. Miss Kockaya would like to share some snaps of just some of the exciting activities and new learning that P1 have experienced during her placement.

As part of the ‘Castles’ topic, the children will be using Junk Modelling materials to make their own castles.

Please bring in any junk modelling materials from home ie cardboard boxes, plastic tubs, bottles etc.

Thanks again for your support!

This week we have been consolidating our digraphs, ‘ch’ ‘th’ and ‘sh’.  We have worked hard to say, make and write these sounds.  We have also been shearing sheep, sorting feathers, and drawing ‘ch’ pictures to put in a treasure chest.

In writing, we were looking at our next traditional tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  This week we were thinking about what the characters were feeling and writing it in a speech bubble. We also had fun exploring measure through sharing porridge with the characters!

Our Big Talks were fantastic this week.  We loved hearing all about their favourite toys.  Well done everyone!

In maths this week, we have been continuing to look at number patterns.  We focused on counting in 10s.

In literacy, we are developing our understanding of the 6 Active Literacy comprehension strategies. This week we looked at ‘Main Ideas’. We were able to identify the most important parts of a story and the supporting details.

We have also been continuing to look at different ways we can organise data.  We made our own Carroll diagrams using shapes and animals.

We have also really enjoyed our visit from the ECC groups this week.  We have been showing them how we play, share and have fun in Primary One.

In our Castle topic, we have been looking at where castles are and have began to create our very own castle in our role play area.

Next week is Big Talk week. Please find below details of when your child will present their talk. They should bring along any notes, pictures, posters or toys for their talk on this day.
