Today we had a fun time out on the pitch for P.E.  We did some races as a warm up and then we used hockey sticks to practise passing a ball to each other. Over the next few weeks we will be using a variety of equipment to develop our physical and coordination skills in passing, catching, throwing and controlling.

Today we read an online story called ‘Don’t Hog the Hedge’, all about animals getting ready to hibernate for the winter.  We learned about hibernation and discussed lots of different things that happen in Autumn.   Then we made autumn trees by drawing round our arm and hand for the tree and using our fingers for the leaves.  We mixed the brown and orange colours by ourselves, using our knowledge of colour mixing, using primary and secondary colours.

I will post a photo of the finished trees once they are dry and complete.

After a week of a lot of learning about the emergency services, and a lot of activities, look at our class display…

So this week we have been learning about the emergency services as part of Developing the Young Workforce Week.
We have learned about the police, fire and ambulance services, what they do, how to contact them and how they help us.
We have had such fun learning and creating this week, linked to the emergency services.  We all gave our fingerprints for crimes we had ‘committed’ 😜

This week we are learning all about the emergency services. Today we learned about what the police do and how they help us. Then we made police helmets and police car art by cutting and sticking. We are going to make faces from paper plates to put the hats on too.

Hello there,

There has been a problem for some people when accessing the homework on Teams. It seems that the view is different depending on whether it is accessed on a mobile phone or on a desktop/laptop. So here is a photo of to make sure everyone can see all of it.
I’ll do my best to solve any similar glitches before the next homework upload.

Many Thanks,

Pamela Donald.

From today, homework will not be assigned through Microsoft Teams.  Information on how to access and upload homework should be available via the main Blog page from the management team.

Mr Green introduced Microsoft Teams to Primary 1 this week.  We talked about taking good photos of our work to upload and how to ‘hand in’ homework in our personal assignments page.

Primary 1 won the Cool Class Cup award this week!       

We won an afternoon tea and the children are very excited about it!  We are going to have our afternoon tea next Friday 9th October.  We will have juice and cakes and colouring and a film in class.  It’s going to be fun!

Today, we made autumn leave pictures of squirrels, lions and hedgehogs, using all of the leaves we have been collecting recently.

Today, we continued with our getting to know each other topic and found out what our favourite meals are.  We drew a picture of our favourite meals and talked about why we loved them.  Have a look…
