The beginning of this term in music was spent learning the Up-Helly-Aa songs for our 2 visitation days! And our peerie procession. We worked really hard and sounded fantastic!

Learning logs – Up Helly Aa
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.
Outdoor Learning – Beach Explorers
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.

Snow Day Learning Opportunities
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 love Drawing Club!
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!
Mirror Dancers
We’ve been learning about winter, we learned about the Mirrie Dancers and created these beautiful winter pictures.
Art Lesson
In art P1 have been creating snowmen.
We used sponges and fingers to print the snow and then used coloured paper to make hats and scarves.
They are lovely and cheery 😃
Gruffalo Garden Centre
Our Gruffalo Garden Centre and Cafe have been a huge hit today. Lots of opportunities for communication skills, role play, mark making and exchanging money. At the end of the day learners shared with the class who they were buying flowers for, lots of special grown ups at home but so nice to hear lots of children say it was for themselves as a treat, self care so important. 🌸
African Drumming
Our first drumming class with Joy, we learned about African Drums and how to make an open and closed tone on our drums.
Gymnastics
We love gym with Mrs Ritchie and we always have class teacher gym on a Friday with Mrs Sjoberg. Can you imagine P1A’s excitement when they saw Mrs Ritchie had left the equipment out for us (and can you imagine Mrs Sjoberg’s face!)
We were so sensible and had an absolute ball!
Guy Fawkes and Staying Safe
As part of our topic we’ve been learning how to stay safe around bonfires, fire works and sparklers. We know about Guy Fawkes and have been learning about how to make different firework shapes and designs in art.
