We have had a super start to the term! We have all settled in well to our new class and we have been very busy learners!

Mrs Kirkwood teaches us on  a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs Connelly teaches us on a Thursday and Mrs Parker teaches us on a Friday. Every other Friday we go outdoors for our learning along with Primary 2.

We have PE every Monday and the weeks we are outdoor learning we have PE on a Tuesday and if it is not our week to go outdoors we have PE on a Friday. This can be confusing so it’s best to make sure PE kit is in school every day. Children need to have a change of t-shirt, shorts/joggers/leggings and trainers or gym shoes. Children should not wear any jewellery to school on PE days.

Homework is given out every Monday and should be returned by Friday. Children are given a spelling task and a reading book. Parents/ carers should sign the reading record each week. If your child is struggling with the homework please leave a comment in the reading record. We do not want homework to become too stressful!

Our topic this term is Castles and the children have shown great enthusiasm so far. We have made models of castles, learned about what they were built for and their features and jobs in the castle. As we are enjoying this topic so much, we have planned a trip to Culzean Castle on Thursday 9th October where we will get to take part in a Life in the Past workshop in the castle.  A letter with further information will be sent home soon.

A very cheeky monkey has been visiting our class this term. We also found him hiding in a tree when we were out our walk. he had thrown hats everywhere! This introduced our Talk for Writing story this term, ‘ Monkey See, Monkey Do.’
