This week in Primary 1 we have learned about teddy bears.  Paddington Bear came all the way from Peru to Shetland and is going to stay with each of us for 2 nights and hopefully have lots of fun adventures.

We wrote about our favourite toy and carefully chose the right coloured paint to paint a picture of the toy.

Mr Rose was in class on Tuesday and made wind powered toys with us.

We have been thinking about  numbers to 20 and also using a number line for addition.

We got our first blended phonic ‘sh’ and have been thinking about things that have that sound in it and also practising writing it.

We have had a number of visitors this week.  Sami who is a French teacher came in to see us on Monday, Mr Lei was in on Wednesday telling us all about the Chinese New Year and told us a story about the animals in the Chinese zodiac.  Then finally, on Wednesday we were really lucky to meet Mrs Simpson who was the first female Guizer Jarl in Shetland and came in to show us her suit and show us lots of photos from her Up Helly Aa.  We all really enjoyed meeting her.
