Roman Sandals
Roman soldier’s sandals were called caligae (cal-igg-eye). They were designed to bend easily so soldiers could fight, march and run.  Primary four made their own versions with Ms Fraser.  
They are very eye catching  and rather stylish but we decided perhaps ours are best suited for indoor wear!
Primary 1&2 made a calendar
We are thinking about time this term and decided to make a calendar.
Primary 2 made the grid part of the calendar and had to think about the year, month names, days of the week and the number of days in each month. Â They worked really hard together to complete all 12 months for our calendar.
Primary 1 thought about months, seasons, weather and special events then designed a picture for each month.
We now have a calendar in the P1/2 and P2/3 classroom to look at and use.
Celebrations and Festivals of Light
Today Primary 1 and 2 spoke about all the different fireworks they saw on bonfire night. Then they really enjoyed creating their own fantastic glittery firework pictures.
Writing letters using finger paints
We have been busy practising our letters today. We wrote the letters using our ‘magic finger’, remembering where we start each letter,  then used paint on our fingers to write each letter.
Primary 1 learn about halves and quarters
We made and decorated paper cakes.
We each decided whether we were going to cut our cake into half or quarter.
We know that each half or quarter needs to be exactly the same size.
We folded the paper to find the middle.
When we cut 1 whole into half, we end up with 2 bits.
When we cut 1 whole into quarters, we end up with 4 bits.

A busy week for Primary 1
This week we have met Tiger Ten and learned our new phonics ‘m‘ and ‘r.’ We have been thinking about fireworks and how to keep safe on bonfire night. We also spoke about how to keep safe on dark nights by wearing reflective clothes. We went on a walk with Mrs Nicolson to look at 3D shapes in our environment.
  
A busy start to Primary 1
We have had a busy 4 weeks in Primary One. We have met the first 6 Jolly Phonic sounds, been to the Number Zoo with Penguin One, Ticklish Two and Butterfly Three. We are learning about 2D shapes and went for a walk to find shapes in our environment. We have enjoyed our play activities in class where our activity wheel shows us what we can choose and understand what balloon day means. We also had a visit from Tidou who was a bit shy until we realised that she could only speak French.
