Primary 1 are learning about capacity and volume. We used language such as full, empty, nearly empty, half full and half empty.
Everyone thought they could use this capacity language in the bath, shower or sink at home.

Story Spinners with P2/3
This week P2/3 have used ‘Story Spinners’ to help them create interesting stories. Primary 2 had to get a character and setting to write about, while Primary 3 also had to think about characteristics, props and keywords! We spend some time coming up with ideas for stories based on the information everyone had been given. After this thinking time, we used story planners to start to think about what we want to happen at the start, middle and end. I can’t wait to read the finished stories next week!
The very hungry caterpillars.
Duncan our janitor not only does a fabulous job of looking after us and our school grounds but he also came to show us the caterpillars he is growing.
They are growing fast and will hopefully be a beautiful addition to our butterfly garden. 
Peerie mootie egg.
Libby took in an egg that came from her and Ashley’s hen, she didn’t think it would make a very good fry up!
Story Sacks!
Each week secondary 1 pupils and primary 1 & 2 pupils meet up to share and discuss a new reading book and enjoy the accompanying activities. Both secondary and primary pupils find this a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
Primary 1 – Months of the year
On Wednesday Primary 1 thought about the months of the year and could show which months their birthdays are in, discussed special events which happen throughout the year, the 4 seasons and how 12 months makes one whole year.
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. 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.
We are learning about 2D shapes in Primary 1
We used lollipop sticks to make 2D shapes. We made squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, pentagons and hexagons. We discovered that we couldn’t make circles because the lollipop sticks are straight and circles only have curved lines.
