Our January Blog

We have been very busy in January. We have been learning about birds that you can find in your gardens or in our playground like the blackbird, seagull, chaffinch, robin, blue tit, sparrow hawk pigeon, house sparrow, magpie and crow. In preparation for our birdwatch we have made bird feeders and hung them in the playground to attract lots of birds. We have been learning French colours like rouge, blanc, vert, noir, bleu and jaune. This month we were treated to a weekend of snow where we went sledging and we made snowmen. In school, we wrote winter stories, designed scarfs and made winter pictures from chalk. Last Friday we went on a trip to the Orchardhill Parish Church where we met Mr Miller. He told us lots of interesting information and fun facts about the church. He gave us a tour and answered all of our questions. He told us that a long time ago before Giffnock Primary School was much larger, it was held in the church.
We are looking forward to lots of February fun including our birdwatch, pancake day and Chinese New Year.
