In school this week, we continued our Gardener’s World topic. On Tuesday, we wrote descriptions about our gardens- they are very good! We were learning to use describing words to make our writing more interesting.
We also looked at seed dispersal. This is different ways that seeds are spread to allow new plants to grow. Some methods of seed dispersal include: the wind, animals carrying and water. We watched a short video which explained this then had fun acting out different methods of seeds dispersal for our classmates to guess.
Today we had our very first assembly at Balbardie. Everyone was very impressed as we worked hard to learn out lines and songs.
Have a nice weekend,
Miss Bollen and P1b

On Monday we went a trip with our teddies to watch a music concert. When we got there adults played different instruments for us. They played percussion instruments, a double bass, a violin, a clarinet, a flute and a bassoon. We went on a bear hunt and heard the story of Goldilocks. During this the adults played instruments to make sounds from the story. We all seemed to enjoy the music and had great fun!
We have been learning about the five senses. Yesterday afternoon we went into the garden outside and drew pictures of things that we could see, hear, smell, touch and taste.
Isabella- ‘We saw a butterfly and ladybird.’
Isaac- ‘We saw wasps.’
Guy- ‘We smelled flowers.’
Euan- ‘I felt the dry grass.’
Sofiye- ‘We saw a bird house.’

Yesterday during outdoor P.E, we split into teams to make up our very own games. Miss Bollen gave each team different equipment to use and was very impressed with our imaginative ideas. Here are some explanations of our games:
Team 1: Ailah- ‘We were bouncing and kicking the ball around the cones.’
Mia- ‘We took turns to do this.’
Ailah- ‘We didn’t argue even though it’s hard to take turns in a big group.’
Team 2: Euan- ‘We were trying to get all of the cones inside the hoop.’
Team 3: Campbell- ‘We were doing racing. We were holding the baton so two people didn’t run at once.’
Team 4: Jaime-Lee- ‘We were throwing the ball and someone was standing in the hoop. If they caught the ball they scored points. If the person in the hoop didn’t catch the ball they lost points.
Next week we look forward to trying everyone’s games!
Hi Primary 1b,
Congratulations on your fabulous performances at your assembly this morning. I was very impressed with how well you had learned and said your lines and the songs were fantastic. I was a wee bit scared by some of the costumes and was glad that they weren’t real dinosaurs:). You’ve been very busy in school and your new topic sounds really fun and exciting. I’m looking forward to seeing all of your amazing work over the next few weeks.
Have a fabulous weekend.
Miss Henderson
