Primary 1’s First Blog!

Primary 1 would like to welcome you to our school website. We hope you enjoy reading our first blog post.

This term we have been very excited about the nursery children visiting our classroom.
We have been working together on language and maths activities and having fun while we learn. We are looking forward to more visits next term.

This has been a very busy time for primary 1. We have been learning to add to 10. We recognise  2D shapes and can make interesting pictures with them.
Our interdisciplinary science topics were sound and minibeasts. We learned how sound travels from the outer ear to the brain. The journey of sound is very fast but we must listen to hear.


Our minibeast topic was interesting too. We painted beautiful butterflies and folded them to make symmetrical pictures. We also learned about the lifecycle of a butterfly. We found it amazing that an ugly caterpillar could change into something so beautiful.

February in Primary 2/1

Primary 2/1 and the Infant Department wish you all a warm welcome to our new school blog. We hope you will enjoy reading all about what we have been up to in class and in the wider school!

Since coming back to school in January, Primary 2/1 and Miss Burns have been enjoying learning all about our latest topic, Water. We have had a great time pouring, splashing and playing with water. We thought of lots of different words to describe it. We have also been investigating how temperature changes water. We learned that freezing temperatures turn water to ice and made our own ice cubes. We also learned that when water is made hot enough it will boil and, eventually, turn to steam. We looked at some of the everyday uses for boiling water, even making a cup of tea and boiling an egg with Primary 2/3!

In Maths, we have been learning about estimation and rounding.  We have been showing what we know through lots of interactive games and activities. As you can see in the pictures, we have really enjoyed it!

Remember to stay tuned for more updates from our school!
