Merry Christmas

Primary One are very excited to be heading home for the Christmas holidays after a very festive and fun filled week!

We have had another excellent term in Primary 1. There has been lots of new learning and fantastic progress. Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Hasson are extremely proud of all of our Primary 1s.

Yesterday, we headed off to the Panto to watch ‘Sleeping Beauty’. We were so excited as we headed off on the big bus and had a wonderful time.

We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a lovely New Year.

We can’t wait to see you all in 2026.

Wk ending 12th Dec

Well, this has certainly been another busy week in Primary One! Our Nativity rehearsals are in full flow and we can’t wait to share our performance with everyone at next week’s Christmas Service on Wednesday.

In literacy, we have been consolidating our sounds r, m, d, e, c and k. We’ve been thinking of things that start with the sound and blending our sounds together to read words.

In numeracy, we’ve been learning about the numbers ‘Before’ and ‘After’.

Through our Tiddler topic, we investigated another ‘I Wonder’, Electric eels. We learned lots of facts about these amazing creatures and even made our own ‘electrifying’ artwork!

We’ve also been learning some Scottish dancing with the Primary 2s, ready for our party next week. We learned the steps to the Canadian Barn Dance.

And we had so much fun at our Christmas Lunch on Wednesday! The Christmas tunes were playing and there was definitely plenty of Christmas cheer!

 

Week ending 5th December

It’s the beginning of December so this week we started to get into the Christmas spirit. We put up our class tree and decorated the classroom for Christmas!

We also got to work on making our crafts for the Christmas Fayre. We really enjoyed making our crafts, especially adding the scents and colours to our Christmas themed playdoh! The Fayre was a great success, thanks very much for coming along!

In numeracy, we have been learning about ‘the story of 5’. We have been using lots of our tools such as the rekenreks, numicon and other concrete materials. We also introduced part-part-whole models and have been using them to complete calculations.

 

This week we introduced the ‘c’ and ‘k’ sounds. We tried so hard to form each letter correctly and produced some very neat work. Here are some photographs of our ‘c’ and ‘k’ activities!

 

In health and wellbeing we have continued to learn about oral health. We know how to look after our teeth by brushing. We talked about how different types of food can impact our teeth and sorted food into categories.

We also really enjoyed the role play area and even gave each other some check ups!

Inspired by our ‘I see, I think, I wonder’ we began learning about different types of sharks. Take a look at some of our activities!
