P3 have been working hard at home researching Dinosaurs and making a poster with the facts they have learned. Here we are admiring the fantastic posters!

We have been keeping an eye out for the Fairtrade symbol on our snacks. Have you spotted it anywhere?

Please have a peek in your child’s homework folder.  Parents’ Night return slips are due on Thursday 14th March and we would hate for anyone to miss out on their desired appointment. 

Primary 1 worked hard yesterday to make this 100 piece jigsaw. Well done to everyone who helped.

Primary 1 learned the ck join yesterday.

Primary 1

Here are our new joins from the week.

Primary 1 have been busy learning all about mixing colours this week. We read Mouse Paint, a story about naughty mice mixing paint.  We mixed paint, we used coloured goggles to mix colours and we used different coloured lens to mix colours. Ask us about the primary and secondary colours.

Primary 1 looked amazing in their World Book Day costumes. We went to different classes in the afternoon to hear a story of our choice.

In our shared novel ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’, we have looked closely at the character of Kensuke.  In our most recent chapter, we’ve seen a different side to him and some of our opinions of him have changed.  We discussed his various personality traits and used evidence from the text to support our opinions.

The following day we wrote a persuasive essay to answer the question ‘Kensuke is a kind and caring man.  Do you agree or disagree?’.  We structured our arguments and wrote detailed points.

Finally, we then held a mini debate to argue for and against the question!  Each side made their points really well and had challenging questions from the audience.

Our Chairperson did a fantastic job of ensuring a balanced approach to the debate.  In the end, the vote was 15-4 to…the For side!
