Primary 1b made the most of the gorgeous weather by taking our activities outdoors. The class had a fabulous time in the sunshine.

Primary 1a and Primary 1b went to Calderglen Country Park. The children had a very active day exploring the nature trails, playing at the park and visiting the zoo.

Primary 1b had a lovely afternoon visiting the local allotments. We learned about the vegetables which have been planted and met some lovely people who were tending their own allotments.

The class also learned about Data Handling and created a bar graph which had a plants theme. The children had a fabulous time and can’t wait to visit again when the vegetables have grown.

All children in Primary 1 took part in a sponsored Teddy Bear Day in aid of St Andrew’s Hospice. Primary 1b raised £293.00 for this special charity. Thank you very much to all who sponsored the children.

The class had a very busy and fun filled day. We made Teddy Bear Hats, created Teddy Bear Picnic invites for our friends, wrote stories about our soft toys, made teddy bear puppets and even got a chance to wear our aprons to make Teddy Bear Biscuits. Everyone finished off the day with a Teddy Bear Picnic, where we ate our picnic food and joined in with teddy bear songs and rhymes.

The class are learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly through their ‘ Spring’ themed mini-topic. As part of this topic they have been learning about symmetry. Today the children created symmetrical butterflies using paint. It was very messy but lots of fun. Tomorrow, the class will write instructions about how they created their butterflies. Writing is really improving within the class and all children are becoming much more independent.

Primary 1b have been very busy learning this weeks sound ‘oo’. The children worked with partners to say, make, break, read, write and blend ‘oo’ words. They enjoyed taking turns and are all doing very well at blending. This is helping them to develop word attack strategies. They even managed to write sentences using the ‘oo’ words. Aren’t they clever?

Primary 1 have had a wonderful day at school dressed in our Onesies. We have been completing lots of Spring and Easter activities and are really looking forward our Easter break. Keep a look out after the holidays for more information about what we are doing in class.

Primary 1 had a fabulous day out at Summerlee today! They enjoyed participating in a workshop about life in the past and learned all about what life was like when Gran was a girl. The class loved the journey on the tram and were amazed to see all the old cottages from the past! A trip to the park and the gift shop rounded off the day making it a huge success! Thank you to Miss Rankin and Mrs Robertson for accompanying us and making the trip possible.

Primary 1 had a fabulous day during the school Pirate theme day! The children wrote stories about Pirates, created Pirate Art and made special pirate cakes as a treat.

Primary 1b have settled well into their new class at Chapelhall Primary School. Their teacher is Mrs Graham and she is very proud of the progress which has been made by all children in such a short period of time. The class have already learned 6 new sounds and can read, write and recognise all their numbers to 5. Well done boys and girls in Primary 1b.

PE will take place on a Monday and Friday each week. The class already love taking part in PE lessons with Miss Hutchison on a Friday after play time. Children should keep all PE items in a bag on their pegs throughout the week in order to participate in gym should there be any timetable changes.

The children have just started to learn about Woodland Animals through their topic, Percy the Park Keeper. We will keep you updated on how this topic is progressing.
