Yesterday P1 and P1/2 went on a summer walk in our playground. We took lots of photographs of what we could see and we talked about summer.

This afternoon P1 and P1/2 had a visit from Mr Troup (Abigail’s dad) to tell us all about life down under. We loved everything he said.

This week we have been learning about halves and quarters. We have started a new topic about Australia. We all found Australia using the Map App on the iPads. This afternoon we went outside and enjoyed our apples on our new picnic tables.

We have been practising our lines and song words all week for our Assembly. Miss Smith and Miss Wallace were very proud of our performance today.

We have been listening and dancing to 1960’s music. The twist and the mash potato song have been such fun! Records make music but now we have ipods. There were radios in the 60’s but we have them today.

P1/2 have enjoyed a day all about Spring. P1 and P1/2 went outside to the playground for a Spring walk. We then used a black pen to draw a Spring picture and managed to write some sentences about it. Next we looked at symmetry in Spring and used paint to make our own cherry blossom trees. We had a lovely day!

On Friday we had a super Eco Day at our school. We worked with P6 and went outside to find clues to solve the mystery word. Then we went into the hall for Eco activities. Calum liked playing the Eco games on the laptops. Dionne enjoyed planting seeds. We all had a great day and found out lots of new things about reusing materials.

This week we have loved working with Royal Rockstars. We have been learning new rock songs and finding out about rock music. Nieve liked shaking her hair when she heard the guitars. Riley’s favourite song is Let’s All Be Friends. Calum H enjoyed the rock version of One Direction. We have all had so much fun! In the classroom we have been working hard on subtraction. We are looking forward to our rock concerts next week and starting a new topic.

Last week we went to the Post Office. We walked there and back. We put our letters into the post box and went inside the Post Office. The lady who works there told us how the post works. We looked into the postman’s bags.
