This week we went on a Spring walk in the Playground we went because we were looking for signs of Spring. It is nearly Spring Time and we are learning all about it.

We found some interesting signs such as, ladybugs, centipedes, butterflies, daffodils and some spring showers.

We have a visitor in P1/2 for Spring Time. His name is Chryston Ted and he wants to go on Spring Adventures with us. We bought him new clothes as he didn’t have any clothes for Spring. He has already been to visit Mrs Woodward’s house and found some bulbs in her garden. We are feeling happy and excited about Chryston Ted coming home with us. Look at some of our pictures with Chryston Ted.

We hope you like P1/2 new visitor as much as we do.

We know today is not Pancake Day it was really last Tuesday. We could not make them then because it was a holiday.

We make pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Before Easter Christians give up something they like such as sweeties or chocolates for Lent. On Easter Sunday Lent finishes. Just in time for the Easter Bunny!

To make our Pancakes we needed ingredients eggs, flour, sugar and milk. We were very lucky that Mrs Hadden could come and help us.

To keep ourselves safe in the cooking area we…

• washed our hands.
• stayed away from the hot pan.
• listened to the teacher.
• wore aprons.
• had to tie our hair up if we are a girl.

To check if the pancakes were ready to flip we looked for little bubbles.

We let the pancakes cool down so they would not burn our mouths.

We got to top our pancakes before we ate them. We could have syrup, icing su

gar, honey, butter or jam.

We thought our pancakes were delicious and awesome!

Some people didn’t like them so they gave them to a friend.

Have a look at our pictures of us making and eating our Pancakes.

 

Yesterday afternoon we learning all about our emotions. We already knew lots of emotions from the film Inside Out. There is Sadness, Anger, Disgust, Joy and Fear.

First of all we shared how we were feeling. Emotions are inside our heads or brains and we feel them. Then we went into groups and we chose which emotion we would be.At our table we drew our Emotion Character from the film.

At the painting station we got letters and with blu tack we stuck them on a piece of paper. Then we used a sponge and paint to cover the paper. When we pulled off the letters the words were still there in white.

Miss Kinloch came around with her camera she asked us to make the face of our emotion. If you’re reading our blog can you guess which emotion we are showing?

Thank you for reading, from P1/2!

Today Primary 1/2 went on a class trip to The Kelpies in Falkirk. We were all very excited when we saw them from the bus!!

First of all we went we inside the brand new visitor centre! We met our tour guide and were able to share lots of our learning and found out some new parts of the Kelpie story. We had to work in groups to design our own shape shifting Kelpies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we went for a walk up to the Kelpies. We were very lucky and got to look inside. The Kelpies were made by a man called Andy Scott and the Kelpies are called Duke and Barren. We were inside Duke. They are 30 metres high and weigh the same as 100 elephants! We learned they are made of metal so they won’t rust even after 100 years!!! When the real Duke and Barren came to visit they left a horse shoe. The horses feet are so big that we can fit both our feet inside!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We got to eat our lunch in the visitor center which was lovely and warm and then we got to go to the AMAZING Swing Park!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a fantastic day at the Kelpies and learned lots of new facts for our topic. We want to say a big thank you to Mrs Troup and Mrs Hadden for helping us have so much fun!

Love P1/2

 

 

 

 

This week we have been learning more about Scottish Myths and Legends.

We made a Loch Ness Monster Postcard. We pretended we were sending the postcard from Loch Ness to Mrs Woodward. The postcard was special because we made Nessie pop up.

On Wednesday we wrote a story about Looking for Nessie. Our stories were made up we know they are Narrative!

We had some exciting news this week. Primary1/2 are going to the Kelpies on Tuesday! We are very excited. We are counting the sleeps in class!

On Friday two statues appeared in our classroom. They are little statues of the Kelpies. We really like having them as a treat!

We watched a film about the Kelpies Story. We found it a little bit scary! We know that the story isn’t real and it was made up to scare boys and girls away from the lochs a long time ago!

We are looking forward to going to the Kelpies next week!!

 

Today we started our new topic for Scottish Month. It is all about Scottish Myths and Legends.

We know Myths and Legends are stories from a long time ago that aren’t always true.

We have been learning about The Loch Ness Monster.

We have found out…

• The Loch Ness Monster lives in a loch in Inverness.
• The loch Ness Monster almost attacked someone a long time ago.
• Nessie is hiding in the loch, we can’t always see him.
• He might be hiding in his cave.
• Nessie lays eggs.
• He’s very big, has spikes and might have red eyes.
• A long time ago someone found Nessie’s footprints! But it wasn’t real it was a hippos footprint.

Since hardly anyone has seen Nessie we all have very different ideas about how he might look.

We think Nessie might have…

• A green body – Ava
• Bumps on her – Katie P
• Spikes – Zoe
• Red eyes – Adam
• Wear a hat – Iona
• Green Scales – Lauren
• Purple Lumps – Alaina
• Blue Eyes – Rebecca
• Feel Wet – Riley
• Long Neck – Craig
• A Sticky Tummy – Aaron W
• A Black line of Spikes -Daryll
• Yellow Spots and a Green Body – Lily
• Be a girl – Aydin
• Green body and yellow tummy- Ethan
• Spikes – Aaron M
• Sharp Teeth – Marcus

 

We took all our fantastic ideas and drew and coloured our own Nessie’s. We can’t wait to learn more about Scottish Myths and Legends!

Today we went to the library in Chryston high school.

We were going to get Ralfy the Rabbit because he stole a book from our library.

We thought the library was a good place to look because Ralfy really really LOVES books.

P1/2 went with P2, Miss Nisbet, Mrs McLoone, Robyn and Miss Kinloch.

At the library Miss Nisbet read Superworm to us. We like that book!

Then we found a letter from Ralfy. It was hiding in the bookshelf. Underneath the letter was our book ‘Mog’s Christmas!’.

 

We said ‘Thank you very much Ralfy’ because he returned our book just in time for Christmas!

 

Before we went back to school we said thank you to the lady we works at the library.

P1/2 had great fun at the library!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today is Christmas Jumper Day.

Don’t P1/2 look fabulous!!!

We all had lots of fun in the hall! (Even Mr Grant!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we are with Primary 1 showing off our Christmas Jumpers!

 

Merry Christmas!!!

Today we were learning more about our electricity topic.

We were finding out how to stay safe around electricity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We used the i-pads and a worksheet to find out about electrical hazards in our homes.

To share our learning we made a DO and DON’TS list to keep safe around electricity.

 

Thank you for reading our blog!
