The boys and girls decided to make a big bridge to cross the classroom today. So we looked at real life structures of different bridges in Scotland. The boys and girls designed their bridges using clip boards and pens then created them with the blocks. Great team work primary 1!
Primary 1 have been learning how to write an invitation. The boys and girls decided to write invitations for their friends and family to come to their Nativity. They are all very excited to give them to their friends and family!

The boys and girls used lots of different materials to build a house for the three little pigs. They tried to find water proof materials for the windows and roof. We tested the houses by pretending to be the wolf! All our our houses stayed standing, they were very strong houses. 
The girls enjoyed working as a team today, they built an amazing castle and even put princesses in the turrets. We are enjoying the new materials in the construction area.
