Primary 1.2 enjoyed a visit to the library to take part in a Book Bug session during Book Week Scotland. Everyone took home their own book and we enjoyed playing the activities in the class.

Primary 1.2 took part in designing the whole school calendar. We chose to do the month March with a spring theme and everyone created their own flower.

We’ve been busy making crafts for the Christmas Fayre next Saturday. Primary 1 chose to make advent candles and we made our own candle holders out of clay. Once they were dry we painted them and we will now set a price ready for them to be sold!

All the boys and girls were excited to wear their pyjamas to school for Children in Need! Everyones donations raised lots of money for a good cause. We enjoyed taking part in the activities in the gym hall and had the opportunity to buy something from the sale.

Lots of the children have taken an interest in other countries and flags this month. We’ve decided we’d like to start learning more about how people live in different countries and how they celebrate things.

We’ve been very excited getting ready for Christmas celebrations in primary 1.2! The children have been inspired to write letters to Santa asking for a class elf, the letters have been posted and the children are eagerly waiting to find out what will happen!

The children are enjoying taking part in a ‘Play Project’ on Fridays. At the end of each morning we all sit together and shared what we’ve created that day.

During Outdoor Learning, we’ve been trying to build things really high. The children are using some excellent problem solving skills and working together to create large structures.

On Remembrance Day, the children learned about why people wear poppies. They were interested in trying to create their own.

We made soup together and everyone had a go at chopping and peeling vegetables before we all sat down together to enjoy our soup!

We’ve had a very busy November, but the most exciting thing was Santa’s Reindeer’s coming to visit us! Everyone fed a carrot to the reindeer and we took some pictures together in the sleigh.
