Primary 1 have gained so much this year from outdoor learning. From developing our fine and gross motor skills, our social and emotional regulation and our ability to enjoy the vast benefits of the outdoors. Thanks for all your support this year in getting your little learners outdoors.
We love our reading buddies. They’re so good to us, modelling a love of reading, sharing stories with us and listening to us while we read to them. Thank you P5.
We are in our 4th term of drawing club, the benefits to listening and talking, reading, writing, story telling and wellbeing are fantastic. Most of all we love the fun, the enthusiasm children have for it and the endless possibilities. This week we are using the ‘Wacky races’ as our provocation and enjoyed drawing A2 size race tracks. Our imaginations ran wild and we loved it. 🚗
‘it’s a flying ship taking us to far away lands’
’we’re flying, look there are mermaids, help while I job over!’
‘I am a magician, I can make people disappear…’
‘it’s a race car, look I drew wheels on it’
‘I’ve written some words on the box, look at my letters!’
Primary 1 loved having their parents or buddies join them to do drawing club. We shared our phonics learning that occurs naturally through drawing club inputs and expanded our vocabulary of the story further through reciprocal drawing.
Another snow day!
We had a lovely day yesterday, lots of important playing and some new learning as well as revising what we already know.
Here are some learning activities that revise our learning and our drawing club task that we would have done today.
Month of Reading Home Learning
Here is the Month of Reading Home Learning Grid, we have lots of fun reading events, some involve parent/carer participation if you are able to attend, the dates are on the grid. Look forward to hearing about your favourite stories and to reading lots of books together this month.

Please let me know if I can support you with TEAMs login information. Week 8 Term 3
This week we all wanted to write about Up Helly Aa, we were soooo excited to have been on a trip to the street to see the Jarl Squad and wanted to share our learning in our learning log.
Primary 1A had a lovely morning exploring the beach near our school, we sat for 1 minute with our eyes closed listening to the sound of the burn carrying the rain water down from the hills to the sea. We felt very relaxed.
Then we counted out 10 stones and practised our number formation using chalk to write the numbers on the stones. We counted them forwards and backwards to each other.
Then we explored the rock pools, the burns, the stones and gathered some sea treasures to bring back to school with us. We are enjoying increasing responsibility as we learn to be safe in the outdoors.
Schools will remain closed on THURSDAY 15 DECEMBER 2022. Please find a suggested activity grid if you wish to do some home learning.
I hope you’re all having a lovely snow day experience and managing to stay warm and safe. I am missing you and can’t wait to be back in our classroom again soon.
Here are a few suggested activities that compliment the learning we have been doing in school.
We are developing so many essential learning skills and attitudes through drawing club. We have opportunities for personal success, for peer, group and whole class discussion. Fostering a love of reading and stories and expanding our vocabulary. Take at look at our journey below. This week we are reading ‘The Night before, the night before Christmas’ and Mrs Sjoberg was so impressed with our pre-handwriting skills, our emergent writing of numbers and sounds/short words. But the most exciting party is the enthusiasm everyone has for sharing their drawings!
