Hi everyone,

I hope you are all safe and well and excited to learn from home!

Please take the time to read the letter Miss Ferguson wrote in your home learning pack you got on Friday – this explains how the blog will work and may answer any questions you have at the moment.

I will try and make the lessons as straightforward as possible and ensure any links can be used on tablets/phones as well as desktop computers.

Take this opportunity to enjoy showing the people you live with how clever you are and what you have learned so far in Primary 1. I can’t wait to hear how you all get on.

Miss Donald

Today, Lynda Keith visited to help us learn problem solving and enquiry skills.

We had to help solve problems in groups, through play activities. We had to use a lot of communication and self management skills too.

It was a little tricky but it was so much fun!
