January has been a busy and exciting month in Primary 1!

In PE, we’ve started gymnastics, which has been very popular.  Everyone has been giving balancing, rolling, and jumping a go – it’s been great to see some new skills mastered.

We started our new topic this month which is all about celebrations. After learning about New Year’s Eve, we’ve been discussing  other special occasions that people celebrate and the different things we believe in. There’s been lots of sharing about our own experiences, and we’re looking forward to learning more about celebrations from around the world.

In health and wellbeing, we’ve been talking about people who help us, like doctors, firefighters, and paramedics. The children loved learning about emergency vehicles and they worked in teams to design and create their own out of construction materials.

We also celebrated Robert Burns this week by learning a little about his life and enjoying some Scots songs. The highlight was definitely making our own shortbread.
