This morning the Tigers received a letter from a very worried princess! Her castle had been stolen and she needed help to design a new one! They worked in teams to design a new castle for the princess.

Kieva and Layla gave their castle turrets and windows and even drew the princess living in it!

Ryan and Corey gave their castle turrets too and a door that needed a very special key to unlock. They also had a go at writing their names on their design!

Charlie and Anas gave their castle 4 legs so that it could run away if it was attacked again!

Kameron and Alfie gave their castle wings so that it could fly!

The Tigers then used the loose parts to make their castle outside! They worked together to create a very sturdy design and when the rain came on they covered it with tarpaulin to make a den.

Well done Primary 1, the princess will be delighted with her new castle!

The Panthers and the Tigers have both been outside today! The Panthers went for a walk around the school grounds, working together to collect leaves, sticks, stones, berries and all sorts of other natural materials. Then we brought our materials back and worked in our teams to create Panther portraits!

The Tigers had expressed interest in wanting to dig for treasure so we went outside to the planters to harvest the carrots!

We worked together to count all of the carrots – we found 53! Then we took some carrots in groups and sorted them from biggest to smallest!

Well done P1!

Primary 1 have loved taking our learning outdoors this week!! We made some interesting meals in the mud kitchen…

Some of us made a map that we followed to look for treasure!

We played with musical instruments and used the blocks to build some very interesting structures!

We used the large loose parts to create obstacle courses…

We found an apple tree and we spotted lots of other berries growing on the trees in the grounds!

We did some gardening in the pumpkin patch and we found lots of worms and even a caterpillar!

What a fantastic start to our outdoor learning journey, well done Primary 1!

Just to remind all of our families that Primary 1 will begin spending time at our outdoor area next week using the mud kitchen, playing with water, doing some gardening and using our large loose parts to develop our gross motor skills and practice working as a team. Please remember to send in outdoor shoes/wellies and suits if you have them.

We will share our learning with you as it happens! Thank you for your support 🙂
