We were learning all about symmetry, so we explored symmetry by creating blob paintings and folded them ove rto make a symmetrical butterfly! We displayed these on our maths wall beside our counting caterpillars.

This week, we started Paired Reading with our Primary 7 Buddies. First we read our little reading books, then we chose a lovely library book to read with our Buddies. It was great fun. We hope to do it again next week.

As part of our RE, we have been thanking God for Autumn. This wonderful book tells the story of autumn. We used it to create our own autumn poems, thinking about the wonderful autumn world given to us by God.

Also this week, we worked on our Social Enterprise Business. After coming up with lots of ideas for our company name, we voted  – it was a secret ballot.

The winning name was “DOGGY DELICIOUS”.  Watch out for more information coming soon.

Here we are practicing our adding skills – aren’t we very clever! Another busy but brilliant week in primary 1.

Here we are pitching our Social Enterprise Business ideas to the Dragons in Dragon’s Den! It was very nerve wracking…but tremendous fun.

The Dragons loved our business plans, but they thought the best idea was to make and sell dog biscuits to raise money for a dog charity.

In maths this week we have been learning about symmetry, this was very new for almost all of us, but by the end of the week, we had a better idea of what it means when something is symmetrical.

We worked with a partner to make some symmetrical wings.

After visiting with Hoots Owls, we were delighted to receive a bag of books from book trust. Imagine our delight when one of the book was all about an owl egg!

Here we are with the biggest owl, Harley. We were very impressed with his good behaviour.

Yesterday, we were thrilled to have Hoots Owls in school.  The children learned lots of different owl facts and even got to try their had at falconry, The P2/3 class were also asked to lie on their backs and a Scottish Barn Owl was flown right over them so that they would be able to see all of the wonderfully coloured feathers that the owl had.

The children certainly had a hoot!

This week we were st the computer room leanring how to ude the mouse to drag and click – we were pretty good.

Here are our super STAR WRITERS this week. We are learning all about Scotland and this week we wrote stories about the Loch Ness Monster!

We also tested out our number skills before moving on to learn about adding.

Well done to primary 1 for being so successful in Term 1. we have been learning to read and write and count. We are Super Stars and we are very proud of ourselves. Our teacher is also very proud of us too. We are all looking forward to our October holiday but can’t wait to see what term 2 will bring. See you all soon.
