Wow what a busy week have had. We had been busy preparing our songs for the Macmillan Coffee Afternoon but we managed to squeeze some more fun learning in! Have a look at us in action…
I wonder if you can guess which letter we were learning about?
Yip that’s right ‘l’ – the boys are girls made lollipop crafts to reinforce that sound! Mmm they look good don’t they.
It’s very important that we reinforce our sounds so we did this through sorting activities and roll and cover activities.
The children have started to read, write and identify common words – watch out we have some new readers about 🙂
A listening station has been introduced at language time. The children really enjoy listening to stories and telling us about what they listened to.
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to support such a worthwhile cause. I think everyone would agree that the children did a great job showcasing some of their learning.
Together as a school we raised a staggering £295! Lots of wonderful raffle prizes were won and we would like to thank the staff for donating them.
PRIZE WINNERS:
Guess the sweeties in the jar – Katie P1a
Teds Birthday – Barrie P5/4
Below are a selection of the pictures taken during the coffee afternoon.
Please leave a little message to tell us what you enjoyed most about the afternoon – we like reading your messages 🙂

The boys and girls enjoyed some very healthy and tasty soup this afternoon. The Health Committee were helping the ‘SNAG’ (Schools Nutrition Action Group) ladies to cut all the vegetables this morning. The vegetables came from our wonderful school community garden.
We look forward to some more tasty and nutritious goodies in the near future!
It has been another busy week in Primary 1. The boys and girls have settled very well into the routines of school. They are enjoying the range of learning experiences.
The children have been introduced to digital technologies through the use of digital cameras. The children have enjoyed taking pictures themselves of work they are proud of.
