Primary 1a Bookworms!

The boys and girls in Primary 1a love to read books and listen to stories. On Tuesday, we all visited our school library to borrow a book to enjoy back in class. There was a fantastic choice of books and we hope to visit every week to change our books. A huge thank you to our librarians Salome and Ryan who did a great job of helping us!

City Life!

   On Wednesday, we explored our local area by taking a little walk along Broomfield Road. During our walk, we saw lots of different things including the local shops (greengrocer, hairdresser, take away and a dentist), busy roads with lots of traffic, two parks (Broomfield Park and Springburn Park) amongst other things. We are so lucky to have so many things on our doorstep! Next week, we will be exploring

Star Writers

  The boys and girls in Primary 1a have been doing lots of writing this week. We have all been Star Writers by remembering to include a CAPITAL letter, finger spaces and a full stop in every sentence that we write. We have also been trying really hard to use the lines to make sure we do our letters the correct shape and size. Look at how clever we all are…..

The Big Balornock Ballot

  This week Balornock Primary took part in a ballot to choose our school mascot as part of our Rights Respecting Schools Project. There were lots of fantastic entries and 13 amazing finalists to choose from.  Every class had a chance to vote. It was a very exciting day for everyone.      

A Busy Week in Primary 1a

This week the boys and girls have been very busy learning lots of new things! In our Maths work, we have been learning all about symmetry and made some fantastic symmetrical butterfly pictures. In the lead up to next week’s Scottish celebration for Burn’s Day, we discussed the different things that we celebrate in our own lives.        

Scotland Topic

  This month our topic is Scotland. We are learning the song ‘Three Craws’ and the Scottish Ceildh dance called the ‘Military Two Step’. We also worked with a partner to solve the Saltire puzzle and wrote a sentence about Scotland during our writing lesson. We can’t wait to learn even more about our amazing country!        

New Year Resolutions for 2017

Happy New Year from the boys and girls in Primary 1a. We are so glad to be back at school to start the new year and have all made our own resolutions. We are going to work so hard to achieve these in 2017 that we will knock your socks off!!!

Stay over the holiday period and we look forward to the start of Term 3 on Thursday the 5th of January 2017.
