The first Star of The Week award of 2015 was awarded today. Well done!

Today we were developing our mapping skills by locating areas in the UK where food is sourced.

Room 9 are enjoying being back at school after the Christmas holidays. We are going to be learning all about food as part of our topic work this term. In Art, we looked at examples of still life. In particular, we focused on paintings of fruit. Here we are sketching some fruit in class. Look out for the finished work in a few weeks time.

We had lots of fun taking part in the end of term Christmas sing-a-long. Room 9 sang “I wish it could be Christmas everyday.” All classes sounded great! We are all ready for Santa coming now and looking forward to our break. Merry Christmas everyone! Miss Jones and Room 9.

A member of our class won a Highly Commended award in the North Lanarkshire Road Safety Calendar competition. We are very proud of him as he was the only person in the whole school to have their poster recognised. Well done!

Miss Jones told us that Santa was looking for some extra helpers this year. We filled out application forms and sent them away to the North Pole. Santa read them all and chose two of us to help him give out presents at the P1 Christmas party.

Room 9 and 10 enjoyed an afternoon of traditional Scottish songs as part of our St Andrew’s day celebrations. All children sang their hearts out, but more importantly, learned a valuable lesson; YE CANNY SHOVE YER GRANNY AFF A BUS!

Miss Jones was really pleased with our Titanic homework this week. Some of us chose to design a passenger ticket or make a word search. Others made a poster or  made a necklace. One child even designed and made a dress for a 1st class passenger. Great effort everyone! Well done!

Today we have been learning about the life of St Andrew. We are making a fish collage with images representing his life and all things Scottish

. They will look great when they are complete!
