After rehearsing this morning for our Christmas Concert, Primary One had fun making Christmas Cards, creating sentences and building with bricks using our initial sounds.

Nursery rhyme of the week

Practice your song words for the Nativity.

Happy St Andrew’s Day everyone!

We had a brilliant time this morning on the assault course. I’m afraid the class IPad couldn’t keep up with them – some of the photos are a bit blurry!!!

We also enjoyed revising our common words with a game of Splat!

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

We decided to have Free Play Friday a day early today as we won’t be in the Learning Zone tomorrow! We had real cups of tea in the house, a poorly turtle at the vets and a lovely, cosy time in the reading house.

During reading time today the Blue Group were fantastic at reading ‘Shopping’ – for an extra practise they read to a cuddly toy!

REMEMBER tomorrow we are going along to the assault course so children can come in their gym clothes – joggies, leggings, t-shirts or tops.

It’s also St Andrew’s Day so a wee bit of tartan can be worn too 🙂

• Reminders

Military Fitness are coming in on Friday. Our class will go along to the gym hall at 9am to take part in the activities. Can children please come to school in their P.E. kit to save time in the morning .

It is also St Andrews Day on Friday with a special St Andrews lunch. Children can wear tartan.

What a day! We enjoyed our Cool Class Cup activity of decorating cupcakes and then we also enjoyed a birthday cake!

Literacy was good fun today – lots of good work and some fun in the foam 🙂

Today we were busy with our Christmas Fayre prep. We found out that team work helps to get the job done!

We are super excited about our Christmas Fayre this Saturday!
