Primary 1e wanted to learn how to build fires safely. We visited Glenwood and worked as a team with Mrs Husbands and the nursery children to create our own small fire. We enjoyed toasting marshmallows and, of course, eating them!

The Sea
Primary 1d have chosen to learn about The Sea. We enjoyed working as a team to make fishing nets and rods. We have been learning about sea creatures and our oceans. Today we were learning about ocean pollution. We created posters to teach others about keeping our oceans clean. We really enjoyed saving our fish from the plastic and rubbish floating in our class oceans!

Creative problem solving and teamwork outdoors

Bounceback
P6d wrote some happy stories and shared pictures of happy memories with P1b this week. We really enjoyed hearing them!
P1d and P1e Science
P1d and P1e have been learning about living and non-living things. We have taken part in experiments to learn about what plants need to grow. We can confidently name the parts of a plant. We have really enjoyed planting our own sunflowers and watching them grow!
Shape pictures
P1c made some lovely pictures using 2D shapes in the outdoor classroom today.
Den Building
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!
Creativity in the open area
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.
Chinese New Year
P1b have been learning about Chinese New Year. We enjoyed tasting fortune cookies and trying to do some Chinese
writing.
Changes to PE timetable
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.
