It snowed today and we were all super excited. We took our snow boots and wellies off and pegged them together, to keep them safe and changed into our gym shoes. We unwrapped ourselves and put all our hats, gloves and scarves up on the shelf, ready for when we go out. We are all organised!
Football
At football today, we started to learn how to dribble the ball with the inside of our foot and place our foot on the ball to stop it. It was quite tricky, but we did it! We only have a short time in the Street, so we have to listen super carefully.
All this and it’s only 10am!
We are always so busy in P1.3. There is always so much to do and we play and learn. We did our reading and our phonics before 10am this morning ( we are super good!). Whilst other people were reading, other people were playing. We are really good at our routines and enjoy exploring new activities.
Burns Supper
We had our Burns Supper on Friday. Mrs Arbuckle told us all about Robert Burns and we watched the story of Tam O’Shanter . It was quite scary, but we know it was only his imagination. Mrs Arbuckle said the Selkirk Grace before we started to eat our oatcakes and cheese and we ate our shortbread and we drank orange juice. It was delicious. Our school lunch had also offered us haggis, neeps and tatties if we wanted it. At the end, we sang “Auld Lang Syne”. ( We know all the words!)

Dentist Visit
The dentist visited us today. She was lovely. She used a special little mirror to look inside our mouths. We had to step up onto a table and lie down. The dentist gave us really dark sunglasses to wear as she had to use a bright light which would have shone in our eyes. We looked really cool. We were so good, that we got Disney stickers at the end.
Snowy Days
When it is a snowy day, please ensure your child is well wrapped up, has spare socks in their bag and is wearing appropriate snow shoes. These can be changed to their gym shoes when they arrive in class. As well as outdoor learning, the children will be outside for their break and lunchtime so can get very cold if not appropriately dressed ❄☃ Thank you!
Our Scots Assembly
We were fantastic at our Scots Assembly. We had all learned our lines, practised our poem and songs and knew the dance. It has taken us over a month to do…but we finally did it! Thank you to everyone who came along to support us. We really appreciated it.
We did it!
Thank you for sponsoring us. We had lots of fun this afternoon and after our circuit and came back to class feeling very tired. 💤
Snow!
As you will know, the boys and girls are very excited today. They have all discussed their big plans for after school. Some want to build snowmen, others would like to make snow angels and the rest are wanting a snowball fight (good luck parents!). We based our writing on what we like to do in the snow. As you will see, our writing keeps getting better and better ! Mrs Arbuckle also went out into the cold and got some snow for our tuff tray. We put our gloves on and made little snowmen ⛄.
Problem Solving
This week is our problem solving week in Maths. Today, we were completing patterns by drawing the shapes which should come next. We found this a little tricky at first but got better with practise. Mrs Arbuckle added more challenge into this activity by changing the colours of the shapes in the pattern. We needed our thinking hats on 🎩 but we did very well.
