Primary 1 have had a great first week back at school.

Primary 1 have been having a very busy few weeks on the run up to Christmas! We all did a fantastic job performing ‘Whoops A Daisy Angel’. We then had a visit from Santa and had a super Christmas party!

We all hope you have a lovely Christmas!

Primary 1a, 1b and 1/2 have been learning about 3 books. Gorilla Loves Vanilla, Little Owls Egg and the 4^th Bonniest Baby in Dundee.

Today we voted for the best book. I t was a hard decision because you could only pick one. We used a piece of paper to make our vote. We had to post it in our special Christmas Post box.

We have enjoyed…

Reading the books, getting to take the books home, dressing our teddies up, putting the animals in order in the queue, making ice creams in the role play corner, and pretending to be on the bus from the 4^th bonniest baby.

Our winner is…

GORILLA LOVES VANILLA!

This week primary 1a have been reading “Little Owl’s Egg” as part of  book bug.

Robbi “We found an egg in our class on Tuesday, there was a note from little owl. Little owl told us he found an egg and didn’t know who it belonged to, so we had to help him work it out.”

Jamie “We made some found posters so that whoever lost their egg new where to find it, we stuck them up all around the school.”

Oscar “The next day we came in from break and we saw the egg box with a letter on it.”

Arran “The letter was all broken up because it was burnt. The letter was from a dragon!”

Ruaridh “The egg hatched when we came in from break, it had flown away with his mummy and daddy dragon, all it left behind was a hatched egg!”

Primary 1a were writing letters, making posters, fixing mixed up sentences and writing some super sentences! We had lots of fun and we are looking forward to seeing what our book will be next week!

 

Primary 1 have been working hard on our number skills this week. We have been learning the numbers 11 and 12. In big maths we have been practising our learn-it’s, 1+1=2 and 2+2=4. We have also been practising counting to and back from 10. As a challenge some of us have even been doing our numbers up to 20! Here we are hard at work.

Primary 1a are having a great time watching the Wizard of Oz. 

Today is children in need.

Robbi “We all dressed up to help raise money for children in need.”

We got to do lots of nice activities to help raise money and have some fun.

Rory “Robbi and I got to go and take pictures in the photo booth because we had matching clothes, it was lots of fun.”

Kirstyn “We got to decorate a cake and then eat it, I really liked it.”

 

We also were lucky enough to have some special visitors.

Aarnav “Zoo lab came and brought some animals like a rat, a tortoise and a frog.”

Ivy “We have been learning all about day and night, we found out that frogs are awake at night and they sleep during the day.”

Logan “Being awake at night is called being nocturnal.”

We have had lots of fun this week and we hope we have raised lots of money for children in need.

P1a Had an exciting visit from Mr Malcolm as a nice end to our RME topic.  We have learned how people of lots of different faiths welcome a baby.  Today we acted out ‘baby’ Thomas’ Baptism to learn what happens when a Christian family welcomes a baby.
