P1b have been learning about the wildlife in Scotland. We thought it would be a good idea to feed the birds as the weather had been very cold recently. We used recycled plastic bottles and yoghurt pots to make some bird feeders. It was tricky to fill the bottles with the seeds so we used funnels to make it a bit quicker and easier.
P1c made some lovely pictures using 2D shapes in the outdoor classroom today.
Mrs Neil was very impressed with the team work and problem solving skills displayed by Hannah, Freya, and Anna when she challenged them to build a den all by themselves! Great work girls!
P1b went on a virtual adventure today using our new VR headsets. We went to Edinburgh and Beijing and compared the two cities. Then we got to see some lions up close by going on a virtual visit to Africa. We finished off our day by going on a deep sea dive and looking at all the amazing sea creatures that can be found at the Great barrier Reef! We had lots of fun!
Well done to Innes who brought his football trophy in to share with the class today. Keep developing those terrific talents!
P1 have been developing their creative thinking, team work and problem solving skills in our open area this week. Here are some examples of the things we have made.
P1d have been learning to use scales to measure the mass of objects. They found out that if one pan is lower than the other then that object is heavier than the other one. If both sides of the balance are equal then the objects weigh the same.
P1b have been learning about Chinese New Year. We enjoyed tasting fortune cookies and trying to do some Chinese
writing.
Primary one have practised and enhanced a range of health and wellbeing skills during their Muddy Movers sessions this year. In order to further develop the pupils’ physical competence and improve fundamental motor skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching, one Muddy Movers session will now be replaced with a dedicated P.E. session.
Pupils will require a gym kit for the P.E. sessions and waterproof clothing/wellies for Muddy Movers. School gym kit consists of dark coloured shorts/jogging trousers and trainers; polo shirts should be worn on gym days to enable the children to change quickly and independently. Some of the P.E. sessions will take place outside in the all-weather pitches so please ensure that your child has a waterproof jacket on that day.
| Day | Class | Activity |
| Monday | All P1 classes | P.E. Session |
| Tuesday | P1b and P1c | Muddy Movers |
| Wednesday | P1a, P1d and P1e | Muddy Movers |
Please ensure that all gym bags, shoes and clothes are labelled clearly with your child’s name.
We love writing stories. We have been writing and illustrating our own stories at home and in school.
