We had a great time at Summerlee museum this week. Everyone enjoyed both workshops. The first one was all about the past and the way gran used to live, the second one was all about shape and colour.

At lunchtime we had the chance to play in the play park, we had it all to ourselves and it was good fun.

Our art workshop was interesting and we looked at some huge paintings in the museum.

Also this week, we had some nursery visitors to our class, who came to play with us. They will be starting school this year, so it gave them the chance to see what it is like being in primary 1.

This week we started Stay and Read again. We all enjoyed reading in the school library.

We all had a fabulous time at the Science Centre on Friday. It was a very busy day with lots of hands on activities for us to explore.

When we got back to school, we were pretty tired out with all of the learning and fun experiences. However, we had just enough energy to have some time in the play area with our friends.

Also this week, we have been developing our money skills up to 20p and can put out amounts to buy different things from the shop.

As it was so sunny today, we took our learning outside and planted beans, sunflower seeds and cress seeds as part of out topic work. It is important that we look after them now and you will probably see the plant pots in our play area outside our class when you come up for Stay and Read.

In RE, we learned that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that he looks after each and every one of us. He knows us all and knows our needs and listens to our prayers. Everyone made a little sheep for or wall display to show that we are like Jesus’ flock of sheep.

Look at the old bears we have drawn with pastels, they show how soft some bears can be. We are learning about old toys and how they are different from the toys we play with today.

Here is the winning Easter basket for our class. You can see more on Dojo.

This week, in primary 1, we visited the STEM zone. We designed and created all week. We worked on our own, with a partner and in teams and helped with each other’s designs. Here are some of our designs.
