We did our assembly on Thursday morning and we had a great time. Thank you all so much for coming. We were very glad that everyone had got the invitations we had written.

Eilidh “After our assembly we showed our mums and dad our work and got to have a biscuit it was my favourtie part.2

Arran “We had so much fun, i loved the assembly everyone clapped for me.”

Aarnav “I loved doing the science experiment, I liked it because my mum clapped very loud for me.”

Kaden “I liked the science experiment too.”

Robbi “I liked watching the video with pictures of us from our year and getting a drink.”

 

 

We had a very exciting week in primary 1. The postman tried to deliver us a letter but it blew away! We had to go out to the playground to search for it! Logan found the letter! The letter was from Percy, he is a park keeper. We replied to his letter and told him things we wanted to find out about his job. Our new topic is all about living things so we thought Percy could help us!

We have been doing some super stations about Percy.

Chloe “In the house corner we have been pretending to be in Percys hut and looked after his animals.”

Kirstyn “We have been reading Percy stories in the library.”

Kacey “We have been writing Percy stories”.

Crystal-Marie “We have even been building a house for Percy in the construction area.”

We let you know when we get our reply from Percy.

 

The Chicks 

Primary 2 has special visitors too, they had baby chicks to look after. We were lucky enough to meet the chicks.

Ivy “We got to hold the chicks.”

George “The chicks were fluffy.”

Aarnav “The chicks were very cute.”

Finding a Half Worksheet homework 2

We have all been so busy we haven’t had a chance to upload our pictures from our school trip. We all had a great time learning new facts about transport. Have a look at some of our pictures from the Tall ship and the Transport Museum below.

 

Good Afternoon,

I hope you all had a great Easter holiday. It has been lovely hearing all the exciting holiday stories today. I can’t believe we are already in term 4. This is another busy term with lots to get through.

The children have the new homework in their bags. This will be issued on a Monday and should be returned to class every Friday. The homework pack includes a printed version of the choosing grid and on the back is a list of active spelling strategies and suggested websites for you to keep in a safe place at home. This won’t be reprinted as you can access it here:

P1 Homework Grid

It is designed to offer more flexibility as to  how many tasks you/your child select each week. The tasks/skills and websites that your child has completed can be recorded on in the space provided on the weekly A5 homework checklist.  The children can also colour in a smiley face once they have completed their school reading book each night. Within the pack is the maths worksheet. Please ensure your child brings their new homework wallet to school on a Friday so that the new weekly checklist can be added and new homework inserted to avoid lots of loose paper getting lost.

Please see below the weekly checklist for week beg: 16th April

Primary 1 have been having lots of fun these past two weeks.

We have been busy playing in the snow, and then we wrote some super stories all about it. The snow was very cold but lots of fun.

We have also been learning all about our senses. Last week we focused on smell and taste. We had a selection of crisps, we had to smell them to see if we could guess the flavor. We then got to taste them to see if we had guessed correctly. Most of us have a very good sense of smell and guessed correctly!

We have also been learning about Chinese New Year, we made our own dragons and then took them to different classes to share our learning.
