Welcome to our first blog of 2026!

It has been lovely to welcome the children back to school and hear about their time over the Christmas break. Everyone has settled back into the routine of school after our first full week back and it has been lovely to see the enthusiasm the children have shown towards their learning.

We have been learning about Time and begun this by discussing the seasons.

We sorted pictures of things that happen during the year and placed them in the correct season.

We drew pictures to show that we understand what happens in each season.

We then learned about the months of the year and discussed what a calendar is and what it is used for.

Next week we will be moving onto telling the time using o’clock.

We used our knowledge of the seasons to create a calendar which we will be bringing home next week to share with our grown ups. We painted a tree and then used tissue paper to show the different colours we see on trees each season.

This week we brought our Health and Wellbeing topic about Growth Mindset to an end by reading Giraffe’s Can’t Dance. We have created our own amazing art work based on the front cover of the book but also discussed what we can do  and what we are proud of in Primary 1A. We then wrote a sentence so we can share all of our amazing talents on our class display!

We will keep discussing a Growth Mindset in class and using this to help us think positively when we find something tricky!
