RME

For RME this term we are becoming aware of the importance of celebrations, festivals and customs by learning about the Hindu Festival of Light – Diwali and the story of Rama and Sita.

We have also been exploring Christian beliefs about God and Jesus through the Bible Stories Noah’s Ark and Jonah and the Whale.

Bookbug Primary 1 Family Pack

All of the children will have come home tonight from school with a Bookbug Primary 1 Family Pack.  This is an excellent pack containing a selection of books in celebration of Book Week Scotland (25th Nov – 1st Dec 2013).

There are some fantastic activities to try at home – if you do any of these please feel free to bring them in to share with the class.

Remember to post away your vote for your favourite book using the Freepost voting form inside your pack.

Houses and Homes Topic

We have recently started our new topic – “Houses and Homes”.

The children have shared their knowledge prior to starting our topic – here are a few of the comments regarding what they already knew about Houses and Homes:

Maisie – “Some people have big houses and some people have small houses.”

Grace – “You have a front door at the front of your house.”

Hannah – “You have a bathroom inside a house.”

Ryan – “Houses have windows.”
