We had a fabulous time yesterday on our tour of Glasgow in the open topped bus. We stopped of at Kelvingrove Art Galleries and the Riverside Museum. We are writing an account of our trip today, check back tomorrow for some examples of our writing on the blog!
We are all very excited about our class trip to see Glasgow tomorrow!
Check school bags for an overview of things to remember for the trip. Alternatively check the link below:
Primary 1 and Primary 2 had a very exciting (and noisy) Fab Friends session today!
Following on from our fantastic trip to Eastwood Theatre to see The Boy Who Cried Wolf we were inspired to create our own production. At the theatre there were three people in the cast who created an atmosphere and added sound effects to tell the story using percussion instruments and their voices.
We decided to do the same with our Fab Friends using percussion instruments and our voices to tell the story of a clip we saw. In the clip there were three main events: a whispering wind, a thundering train and a sad moment.
Miss Lindsay, Miss Dunn, Mrs Hughes and Mrs Mair all though we did a great job of selecting and using instruments to portray an event or feeling in a story.
We all had a fantastic time celebrating world book day today!
As part of our home link challenge, many of us had written an alternative ending to our favourite story book. We had a great time giggling at the funny endings we had all written!
We watched a Dr Seuss story telling together, which was interesting as today Dr Seuss the author would have celebrated his 113th birthday!

Following a class reading of ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ (one of our favourite stories in Primary 1), we all chose a follow up activity to explore the story. Take a look at some of our interesting writing inspired by the story below:
We then finished the day with an exciting paired reading session with our Fab Friends in P2.
We’ve had a great day celebrating World Book Day!
We visited Eastwood Theatre today with our Fab Friends from Primary 2!
We have been exploring friendships and emotions with our Fab Friends recently, and a trip to see a production of the moral tale The Boy Who Cried Wolf was an excellent way to conclude our learning.
We got the bus to the theatre with our Fab Friend and then sat beside them in the production.
There were lots of actions, mine and expressive movements in the show and the sound effects were all being made by the three man cast alone! We will be using our Fab Friends time on Friday to try making some of our won sound effects to films and clips.
After the show we all got the opportunity to go up on stage if we wanted to, the cast even made Miss Dunn get up on stage too!
We had a fantastic morning, learning about morals, sound effects and rhymes. Primary 1 would like to say a big thank you to Alice’s, Becca’s and Joshua’s mums for coming to help out on the trip.
