This week in P2a we have been looking at the world of work.
In class we watched some videos on jobs and learned about a lot of jobs we didn’t know about. We had some good discussions about what we’d like to be when we’re older then we done some writing on it.
In the playroom we had lots of stations with different jobs, the class showed they would be amazing construction workers, author/illustrators, florists, teachers and cafe workers.
It as been another very busy week in Primary 1.
In the playroom we have been focused on the world of work and developing the young workforce.
Children have had the opportunity to participate in different job roles such as construction workers, florists, gardeners and running a cafe, and many more more.
In addition to this, some children have been eager to share their solo talks about their favourite animal. Some amazing posters have been brought and fantastic facts have been shared.
On Monday, we had a visit from the football coach from the Brunswick Centre who was teaching us lots of ball skills. We were dribbling and running and learning to control the ball.
We have learned that flamingos stand on one leg, penguins are fluffy when they are born, cats have pink paws and the name Singh means lion in Punjabi. So we have been able to learn a word from other languages too. The children have been very excited, well organised with fabulous posters and confident as they have spoken to the whole class to share facts and the reason why the animal is their favourite.
We can’t wait to see and hear about everyone else’s favourite animal next week.
This week primary 1b were learning about the World of work we explored different job roles through play and discussed the skills each job requires.
Writing had them creating instructions for cleaning their teeth. They began by drawing pictures to demonstrate the actions and followed this by writing a sentence to explain what to do. Everyone should now have lovely clean teeth. We also read ‘Finns Little Fibb’ and identified the beginning, middle and end of the story.
We continued to learn about our emotions and were able to assign colours to a variety of emotions such as yellow for happy, blue for sad and green for jealous. We used the story Elmer, about a patchwork elephant, as inspiration and used some of the colours we discussed to create our own animals and jungle picture.
A fantastic week of learning in p1b 💫💫

On Tuesday we had the first of our visits to Pinkston Basin to participate in activities for three awards: The NOLA (National Outdoor Learning Award), Glasgow Urban Adventure Award and a Watersports award. It was a bit of all four seasons in one day but that didn’t stop us from participating and having a great time. Half of the day was spent on the water in canoes and the other half was exploring the forest. We are looking forward to Days 2 and 3.
This has been a very busy week in P5b. From completing the data handling tasks to playing quick cricket in P.E. As usual the STEM activities were enjoyable for all!
I will post some photographs later today .

After being awarded our Eco Schools Green Flag last June the eco committee have worked hard to develop a new action plan to take our efforts even further. This is a two year plan and as a school we have already achieved a lot thanks to many of our wonderful pupil committees. On our new action plan we are focussing on –
Climate Action – Encouraging the use of sustainable transport and recycling.
Biodiversity – Improving our biodiversity knowledge and why it is important. As well as trying to encourage different birds and insects to our school grounds.
Global Citizenship – Taking an active role in the local community and raising awareness of global issues.
These actions all contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. Our focus will be on Goal 15: Life on Land.

The Rights Respecting Committee have been learning that rights are not earned, but unconditional and want to share that with our families.
Last week the children loved our Music class. They were learning to use instruments and follow rhythm cards to music. The children loved getting to use each different set of instruments and they did a fantastic job working as a team. Well Done!

We continued to learn about our emotions and were able to assign colours to a variety of emotions such as yellow for happy, blue for sad and green for jealous.

We had a visit from our music tutor who brought a range of instruments for the children to play along with the tunes Carwash and Under the Sea. This was fun and exciting.
