P1 Trip – Kelvingrove Park
On Thursday 4th October 2018 the Primary 1 classes will visit Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum to take part in an Explore and Create Outdoors workshop in Kelvingrove Park. Using natural materials, and working in teams, the Primary 1 children will be constructing and creating whilst learning more about the wildlife in the park. There will also be time to visit the Museum.
The bus will leave school at 9:15am and return to school for 2:45pm.
A Snack to Go lunch will be provided for all pupils. If you prefer children can bring their own packed lunch. The children should bring their snack/packed lunch in a plastic bag, with their name written on the bag. They will not need to bring their school bag on this day.
As the workshop is an outdoor activity, children must be dressed for the weather – waterproof jacket, waterproof trousers (if you have them), welly boots and perhaps a hat and gloves depending on the temperature. School uniform should be worn under outdoor clothing.
The school will cover the cost of the bus and we are asking for £2 per child, to cover the cost of the workshop. Please send this in before the trip.

Learning to Play : Playing to Learn
The ‘Learning to Play : Playing to Learn’ programme is our own play-based learning programme, developed within St. Timothy’s. It is based on the growing research around play and child development. It offers the children regular opportunities to engage in a whole week of active play and learning. This will occur every 3/4 weeks, during revision weeks and the Primary 1 classrooms will be transformed into play zones to encourage creativity, imagination and exploration. Many of the resources for the programme have been provided by St. Timothy’s PTA.
The Play zones:
Room 1 – free flow play
Room 2 – numeracy and maths play
Room 3 – literacy play
Each day the children will visit all 3 playrooms with their class teacher and experience play activities to consolidate and develop their own learning.
This is an exciting new development so watch this space and look out for photos on Twitter.

Languageland in Primary 1
Languageland is a class based training package for Primary Schools to improve speech and language skills through through communication and games. There is evidence that when this approach is adopted Languageland improves children’s speech and language skills.
Normally these inputs are limited to a very small number of children but we have committed to delivering the full 6 week programme to all Primary 1 pupils. This will be delivered by Mr. Fawcett and will run alongside the Active Literacy Programme.
