And so we have come to the end of our P1 journey. The children are all exhausted and ready for their holidays (as are the teachers), we have met our new teachers and seen our new classrooms and we are ready to move onto P2.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for trusting me with the first year of your child’s school journey. It has been a fabulous year and I am so proud of each and every one of them.

Thank you for all of the kind words and generous gifts. I really appreciate them.

Transition to P1 from Nursery started with The Very Hungry Caterpillar when we created our class caterpillar which has been on our window all year.  We have ended the year by creating our Mini Me Butterflies and they definitely show how we have developed and grown throughout this year.

I hope everyone has a fabulous summer.

This week in P1a we have been developing our subitising skills using block play.

We looked for groups in the block pictures which would then help us to count the number of blocks we would need to recreate the patterns.

Miss Muir looked after us so well on Tuesday morning and then we enjoyed the P7 show in the afternoon and later in the week Mrs Jamieson came in for Circle Time and to help us with our writing.

We have finished our Planet Fact Files and these will come home so that we can share them with our families (but first, we are going to share them with our P3 friends).

Here are some more pictures of this week’s learning.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

What a fantastic week we have had!  Thank you so much to E’s Mum for coming in on Monday to start our sport’s week with Athletics.

We learned so many new skills and it was really fortunate that we got to practise our egg and spoon skills again before Friday!

On Wednesday we had Gymnastics and the coach was very impressed with our discipline and our skills.

And we had Karate in the classroom.

On Thursday we were dancing twice, once in class and later in the MUGA at lunchtime. We had Muay Thai coaching and Rachel Tytler came in to tell us all about her Commonwealth Bronze medal and her sport, Judo.

The today was Sport’s Day – thank you so much to everyone who managed along to support us. We had a fabulous time.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Parent’s Races. We were very proud of our class winners in the House Races.
