Have a look at our Learning Journey Wall for January and February. We have been very busy learning about Winter, and Push and Pull in Science. In Maths, we have enjoyed using the Beebots to develop our programming and positional language skills.
Percy the Park Keeper
Primary 1 enjoyed listening to the Percy the Park Keeper story “One Snowy Night”. The children decided to set up our role play area as ‘Percy’s Hut’, where they could help look after the animals that had been rescued from the snow storm.
Snow much fun!

Fire Fighters Visit
Primary 1 were delighted to receive a visit from the fire fighters as part of our People Who Help Us topic. We got to try on the uniform, sit in the fire engine and even have a shot of the hose! Thank you very much for taking the time to come and see us!
Maths Week
Primary 1 are always keen to develop their mathematical skills and they enjoyed developing their knowledge during Muddy Movers today.
Some people used the large pipes to create 2D shapes – triangles, squares and rectangles and someone even discovered that they could make a circle using the curved pipes.
This was a very long bug hotel.
Other pupils worked co-operatively to create a long bridge that spanned a distance.
We were impressed by the patterns that were created using the stones.
We also used the stones and wood blocks to measure the length of the sticks. We then decided to hold the sticks together to compare them.
The pipes were also used to measure the whole length of the playground. One pupil discovered that they were different thicknesses and that some pipes fitted inside the others.
Our large scales were also out to investigate and we weighed the different wooden blocks to find the heaviest and lightest.
We had great fun learning and developing our ability to use our skills in different ways.
Learning about measure.
We were learning about measure in numeracy today.
We know that you can measure with a measuring tape. We thought of lots of measure words – big, tiny, medium, giant, ginormous,
We read a book about Sam – he needed someone taller to hold his kite. We measured ourselves against Sam to see if we were taller.
We made kites with different lengths of tails.
We compared to see who had the longest and shortest tail.
We use super language – long, longer, longest. Short, shorter, shortest.
We had great fun flying our kites in the playground!
Another busy week in Primary 1…
Primary 1 have had another busy week learning lots of new things!
Welcome to Primary 1!
Primary 1 have already been very busy in the classroom. We have started learning all sorts of things including our Jolly Phonic sounds and our numbers.
We really enjoy our outdoor play. This is called Muddy Movers – we have been lucky so far that the rain has stayed away and the sun has shone but we will be out in all weathers. Please make sure that your child has suitable clothing on a Wednesday.
