Aigas

The sun was shining for our visit to Aigas on Wednesday and we had such a  fun day! We were  very busy and saw lots of interesting things including a red squirrel, a beaver’s lodge and a variety of creepy crawlies.

Mother’s Day

P1 were very busy last week making beautiful Mother’s day cards and gifts.  The gifts were made out of old cardboard boxes which were covered in wrapping paper designed by the children.  Every child put lots of love in each box!  A very sweet poem was then glued onto each box to tell out Mums how much they mean to us.  We hope that all our Mums had a lovely day on Sunday!

Aigas visitors

Primary 1 had an exciting visit this week from Sue and Sarah, Aigas field workers. They told us lots of interesting information about some of the wildlife found in the Highlands. They showed us some photographs and had recordings of some of the noises made by some some of the birds and animals. The most exciting part though was when we got to touch and stroke the stuffed otter and pine martin. Their fur was so soft but the claws of the pine martin were very sharp and prickly!

Our new topic

Our new topic this term is Friends and Family. We will be looking at the reasons why our friends and families are important to us. We will also be talking about different generations of our family and hope to be painting some family trees!

We will also be trying to answer the questions; why do we need to eat healthy food to grow and what can we do to keep ourselves healthy?

Last Chance!

Lost Property- Christmas 2012

lost-propertyThere are many un-named items in lost property. Most of them have been there for at least the past term. These items will be available in the school reception area from 2:30-3pm Mon 17th Dec – Thu 20th Dec. Following this all unclaimed items will be put to the Blysthwood box.

Items include numerous gym shoes, hats, gloves, scarves, school jumpers, school polos, drinks bottles, lunch boxes as well as those listed previously on the website.

Remember the best way to avoid lost property is to put your childs name on all items that come to school with them.

Have a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
Sharon McArthur (Parent Council)

Visitors to P1

Primary 1 had some very exciting visitors this week! Inverness footballers visited the classes 1,2 and 3 to talk about their sport and how to work well in a team. There were lots of interesting questions and stories shared.

On Friday, Heather, from the Inverness Tourist Board visited the primary 1 classes. She brought in some of her fluffy friends and we all learnt about the various wildlife in and around the Highlands.

Loch Ness

Our topic this term is Loch Ness. This week we were looking at a map to see where Loch Ness is and we were talking about a famous person who lives there – Nessie! We wrote some ‘describing’ poems about Nessie and tried to include some WOW words.

Here are some of our poems for you to read:

Nessie is….                                                                   Nessie is….

a purple, pink and black monster,                       a monster,

spiky,                                                                               enormous,

prickly                                                                             scary,

and friendly.                                                                 different colours,

by Summer                                                                    jaggy,

                                                                                           grumpy

                                                                                           and brave.

                                                                                           by Orin

Nessie is….                                                                  Nessie is….

multi-coloured,                                                           soft and slimy,

thick and wide                                                              gigantic

spiky and strong.                                                         tough and strong

 by Megan                                                                       by Sophie

A visit from the police!

Primary 1 had a visit from the police this week…… but we weren’t in any trouble! They came to speak to us about keeping safe when we cross the road. Before they left, they let us try on their hats and their handcuffs and they let us hold their batons. It was so much fun! Thankyou to Alison, Ross and Martin.

We have also been busy working with a partner to make some road safety posters and we now know the rules really well- STOP, LOOK and LISTEN when crossing the road and stay safe
