Prestwick Beach Trip

On Monday we went to Prestwick Beach to pick up litter as part of our Plastic Pollution IDL topic.

We got recycled bags and litter pickers and walked across the beach picking up lots of different types of litter.

Some of litter we picked up were:

  • crisp packets
  • nets and rope
  • plastic bottles
  • toothbrush
  • hairband
  • cigarettes
  • juice cans

We were very disappointed in the people who left this litter on the beach because we know that this kind of litter can be very harmful to our sea life.

We were exhausted after picking up all of the litter but we knew that we had been successful and we were really proud of ourselves!

World Book Day

Primary 1 had great fun celebrating World Book day – even if it was a bit late due to the snow!

On Thursday we had an author visit us – Jennifer Gray who wrote ‘The Adventures of Ermine – (who is very determined)’ was very interesting and we all enjoyed listening to her and asked some excellent questions.

On Friday we took part in our whole school World Book Day assembly and we wore our Goldilocks and the Three Bears masks.

Kayden, Josh, Joe and Bobbi read out their writing about Goldilocks.

Bookbug Library Visit

Primary 1 went on an adventure to The Foundry today.  We all enjoyed going on the bus to the library to get our P1 Bookbug bags.  Heather read us three stories -‘Little Owl’s Egg,’ ‘The Fourth Bonniest Baby in Dundee,’ and ‘Gorilla Loves Vanilla.’  Everyone listened well and enjoyed the different books.  We then voted on our favourite – it was ‘Little Owl’s Egg.’

People Who Help Us – Firefighter Visit

Primary 1 had a very exciting afternoon as firefighter Kevin Hughes came to tell us all about his job.  We enjoyed asking questions and some people got to try on his uniform.

We then got a very big surprise as the Barrhead Fire Engine came to visit!  We got to look at all the equipment and we all tried out the hose.

This is connected to our learning topic of People Who Help Us.

Firefighter Kevin told us lots of information.
We tried on the uniforms.
