Primary 1 have had a great time practising doubling numbers together. We really enjoyed playing ‘Hit the Button’ on the interactive whiteboard!

We have had a very busy week in Primary 1! The children have enjoyed reflecting on their favourite moments of the week:

• I enjoyed helping my nursery buddy during the ‘stay and play’.
• I liked running in the final of the county sports.
• I liked practising my adding in maths.
• I liked reading my new reading books. We are reading the Magic Key.
• I liked showing my Granny my work on the open afternoon.
• I liked drawing and writing stories in our new writing area!

We have been really enjoying the recent hot weather with lots of play out in our ELC garden!

We have started planting potatoes, cress and sunflowers.

Peebles CAN are coming in every Wednesday to work with the ELC 4 children to plant things in our garden and in P1 garden as part of our transition. Last week the children planted different types of beans.

We have been carrying on learning about different types of recycling and have set up a “recycling area” and display in ELC where the children have to sort out the different types of recycling they have into different categories – we have also been reading stories about recycling too!

One of the children in our class has found some very old keys in her house and brought them in to share with us. The keys made us think about the Magic Key from our reading books. We guessed what the keys might be for:

”I think they are giant’s keys”

”They are the keys to a castle”

”They are keys to a secret room”

”The keys might open a door which takes us to sweetie land”

We hope to use these keys to inspire our writing. What do you think the keys might be for?
