Friday was a happy day in Primary 1 with our Christmas party but also sad as we all wished Mrs Robertson a happy retirement on her last day teaching! The boys and girls of Primary 1 made her a beautiful framed picture of a tree with all our fingerprints on it to remember us by and she was presented with this and a special book full of pictures every child had drawn of her with quotes saying why she is so special. Mrs Robertson was given presents from all the classes at a special assembly and we all sang her favourite songs.  Thank you Mrs Robertson for all your hard work and we will all miss you.

 

Carla and Findlay present Mrs Robertson with gifts from all of Primary 1. Mrs Robertson is dressed as an elf on her last day!

The teachers all sang a song to the children called ‘Our School’ which Mrs Robertson had written….and Primary 1 said they enjoyed it! You’ll be able to spot Primary 1 teachers easily with our elf costumes on!!

We also said goodbye to Miss Milne (student teacher) this week.

This is Miss Milne opening our advent calendar with Daisy, Alfie and Ibrahim. Each day different children open a door to find a Christmas ‘challenge.’ Alfie’s challenge was to sing ‘Jingle Bells’ to the office staff and he chose Findlay to accompany him. This was greatly enjoyed by the office staff! Other dares have been to do a Christmas mime, do star jumps while shouting ‘ho, ho, ho!’ Other children have pretended to be Santa and had to answer questions from the children, and some have been seen dancing round the room singing Christmas songs! It helps our reading skills as we have to try to read the challenge written on the slip of paper, helps build our confidence …..and it’s also good fun!

Here are other photos of us in class this week.

We’ve been learned to read the days of the week and order them. We had to cut and stick the words correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abu-Huraira is working hard!

We were pretending to look through the keyhole of Santa’s workshop.  We drew pictures and wrote about what we saw!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing about our class elf, Snowy, has also been helping our writing skills this week. We have an elf diary to write about where we find him every morning! He does get up to mischief!

We’ll let Omar and Findlay finish our post today…….Merry Christmas everyone!!
