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…

Today we practised our blending of sounds to make, read and write words.  We are getting better every day!

We used this game on the board to choose words – why not have a go at home.  Click on this link for the game: Sound Sayer

On Tuesday we had lots of fun outdoors playing on the grassy hill in the sun!

Hi!  I hope you had a lovely long weekend and are looking forward to the next 2 weeks of learning before the October holiday. 

• After the October holidays Primary 1 will have a session of outdoor P.E. on a Wednesday . Children are asked to come to school in a pair of jogging bottoms/leggings on this day as well as trainers suitable for taking part in P.E. outdoors. 

• Also after the October week Primary 1 will be starting one indoor P.E. Yoga session per week.  This will be on a Friday.  Children can come to school in jogging bottoms or leggings on this day also.  They will not require a change of shoes for Yoga as we will be doing it in our socks or tights.

• Children should wear their normal school uniform on the top half (polo shirt/shirt/jumper/cardigan). 

• Sumdog are holding a competition this week over the whole of Scotland to see who can answer the most questions – log into your Sumdog account to be in with a chance of winning. As a reward for taking part, each pupil who answers 100 questions will receive an item for their Sumdog House! Good luck!

• Please  log into your Active Learn account and read your book for this week. What sounds can you spot? Can you find any of your common words? 

• Point to each word as you read it to make sure you don’t miss any words. Look at the illustrations and the sounds at the start and end of the words to help you. Happy reading!

• Thank you to everyone who has been practising your sounds and words at home – it is making a huge difference to your child’s confidence and progress in class! Remember you don’t need to spend hours on these – 5 to 10 minutes is enough. 

•  So far we have learned the sounds: s a t p i r m d e
