Primary 1 have been learning about the post, we had a visit from a postman and last week we wrote ourselves a letter about the visit. We addressed our envelopes and spoke about the postcode, house names/numbers and the location our post would be going.

Today we walked to Sound Service to buy stamps, on the way pupils pointed out different environmental print and other interesting places/things:

Pupils were excited to get into the bus stop and look at the bus timetable, we spoke about the time the bus would be coming and how to get the bus to stop. We got to use the traffic lights for the first time today too.

‘Look that sign means 20 in your car, you can’t go faster!’

‘That is new houses being built… that sign says only workers and you have to wear a hat… that word says i…n… in.’

‘There is a Shetland pony, and is the baby one called a ‘foal’?

Pupils asked the shop worker for 15 stamps, they chose 2nd class stamps and then on the way back we stopped to look at frozen nature. We enjoyed holding the frozen leaves while they melted and crushing them near our ear to hear the noises they make.

Look out in the post for your child’s letter – hope you enjoy reading it together.
