Primary 1 enjoyed taking part in Our Lady’s procession to the Chestnut Garden. We took part in some prayers to Our Lady and sang some hymns.

Creative problem solving and teamwork outdoors
P1 love working together outdoors to solve problems and create inventions dens.
Learning to Code with Scratch
P1b got national Digital Learning Week off to a great start when they were taught how to code using Scratch by the P7 Digital Leaders.
Saltire
We have been learning about Scotland. Finlay used the peg board to make a Saltire.
Bounceback
P6d wrote some happy stories and shared pictures of happy memories with P1b this week. We really enjoyed hearing them!
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!
Coding with BB-8 and Google Classroom
P1b have been developing their computer science skills. They used the Chromebooks to join a Google Classroom and then had fun programming BB-8 to help Rey collect some scrap metal. Do we have some future software engineers in our midst?
Feed the birds
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.
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!
Virtual Explorers
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!
