Dear parents,

This week week is our Macmillan Fundraising week, please read below for all the exciting things happening in the school!

Funday Thursday!

Children can come to school on Thursday wearing their pyjamas, wearing their own clothes (non-uniform) or sporting a crazy hairdo! If they would like to bring a small donation of £1 to participate, that would be fabulous.

Virtual Coffee Morning

On Thursday, Mrs McFadden will host a Virtual Coffee Morning via Zoom at 10am. At said event, there will be a raffle taking place with lots of good prizes available; food vouchers, chocolates, vouchers for local businesses etc. Raffles are £1 per strip and I’ll start collecting money tomorrow. If you want to be in with the chance of winning, can you please send your child with money to school tomorrow or Wednesday before the grand reveal!

If you’d like to donate a prize for the raffle – please feel free to email myself or Mrs McFadden; gw13mcfaddenkatherin@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk

Mrs McFadden will send a Zoom link for those interested in attending on Wednesday.

DOUGHNUTS!

We will be selling doughnuts on Thursday morning at playtimes and lunchtimes to raise some more cash for MacMillan! Please send your child with money if they wish to buy some! 🍩

Family Fun – Sponsored walks!

If your family would like to organise and participate in a sponsored walk, I can send home a Sponsor Sheet for you to record the donations you’ve collected. Unfortunately, because of restrictions, we cannot arrange a bigger community event where we could involve all of our families participating at the same time – so we will leave it with you to decide if that’s something you wish to get involved in! For example, a local hill walk to Conic Hill, Ben A’an or The Whangie!

Thanks

Miss Bull

We would usually have you all in to visit the classroom for our ‘Meet The Teacher!’ Day. Unfortunately we are unable to do that this year due to current restrictions. So instead we have made a video!

Enjoy!

P1 Term 1 Termly Overview

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the P1 class blog! Thank you for responding to our calls regarding your contact details and photo consent – our blog will now be updated weekly with details and photos of our learning and any new information.

What a fantastic start to the term! The children have been busy making new friends and catching up with old friends from nursery that they missed so much! We have been so proud of how well they have settled into their new environment.

We have been learning how to follow our class and school rules and who to ask for help. We have been learning how to cooperate and work as team.

We have been learning how to look after ourselves and others by washing our hands, changing our shoes and putting on our jackets. We even learned how to put on our waterproof suits and wellies so that we could explore the outdoor area and jump in muddy puddles! We went on a treasure hunt to find different things in the outdoor environment – have you seen all our new super cool murals?!

We have been learning a lot about each other and ourselves through our ‘All about Me’ Topic. Painting self portraits, measuring each other, labelling parts of the body and talking about what makes us unique.

We have been looking at patterns, patterns in the classroom and and patterns outside. We have been using concrete objects to create our own repeating patterns!

 

We have been learning to recognise and order numbers 0-10.

In Literacy we have been learning how to recognise rhyming words and how to continue a rhyming string. We have also started learning our Jolly Phonics sounds! This week we are learning the sounds ‘s’ and ‘a’.

Check out the next blog for our Termly Overview Map which will explain everything we are learning about this term!

Thank you!

Miss Bull
