P1 love working together outdoors to solve problems and create inventions dens.

P1d Boat
Some of the boys and girls in Primary 1d worked as a team during ‘choosing time’ to make a boat with building blocks. Carmen and Odhran even made a compass so that they could use it when sailing! Well done!
Thinking like an engineer
Freya wanted to weigh some objects but we didn’t have any scales in the classroom so she decided to make her own! Mrs Neil was very proud of her creativity and problem solving skills!
Shape pictures
P1c made some lovely pictures using 2D shapes in the outdoor classroom today.
Using scales
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.
Technology Teamwork
We worked together to create a tall tower. Do you like the pattern?
A very busy week!
Primary 1 have been developing their literacy and numeracy skills this week. We began our Jolly Phonics programme and have been practising reading and writing the sounds s, a, t and i. We looked for objects beginning with the sounds in our playground and have used sand, shaving foam and chalk to make the letters. We have also practised counting and  number formation.
