Winter Ready in P1

Over the course of the week, please check in your child’s diary for their Glow username and password.  In the event of extreme weather which results in a school closure, a list of fun indoor and outdoor activities can be found in the useful documents section of the blog (Winter Activities 2015).  Your child can choose from the list and please note that not all activities need to be completed!

P1 Party Time!!

Primary one had a busy day last Friday with their Christmas party.  Much fun was had by all with funky dancing, party games and party food.  There was even a special visitor who popped in to say hello and deliver some presents before he had to head back to his sleigh!  The children were so polite to Santa and even sang him a few songs.  Didn’t they look good?!

Nativity

Well done to all the boys and girls in P1, 2 and 3 on your fantastic nativity performances this week.  Everyone did really well with amazing singing, narrating, acting, speaking parts and instrument playing.  You all did a great job and told the Christmas story really well, making everyone really proud. A big thank you goes out to our Primary 7 technical team who helped with the music and the lights during our performances and Mrs Smail for helping to organise all the costumes and being the official photographer!!

Here are some of the stars all dressed up in their nativity gear.   Looking good Primary 1b!

Class Talks

A big well done to P1b as last week they presented their class talks about their favourite toys which they worked on at home as part of their homework.  The class were a super audience for each other and I was very impressed with all the confident individuals who were able to use a loud and clear voice.  Lots of good questions were thought up by the audience and some detailed and well thought out answers were provided by the presenters.  Impressive work – I better watch out!!

Christmas is coming !

P1a have been busy writing letters to Santa ! We had to think about why we had been good this year!.

We had to make sure our writing was neat and tidy so that Santa could read it.

Have a look at our super Santa letters!

We also had great fun finding out about each other’s favourite toys. The children did a great job standing up infront of the class to speak about their toys.

We have also been learning about how to sort information on a arrow diagram.

Well done P1a

Successful Learners in P1b

We have been working very hard in literacy this week.  We have been working on our sounding out skills to read words and to draw pictures to show that we have read the words correctly.  Look at our fantastic work:

We have also been using the sentence boards and have been making sentences which Mrs Lloyd dictated to us.  We did so well with this that Mrs Lloyd even asked us to make our own sentences.  We had to remember our capital letter and full stop and had to check that our sentence made sense!  We were really good at it!

Our non-number maths work was different this week as we were working on making some arrow diagrams.  We picked this up really well and will be working more on reading arrow diagrams next week.

Road safety was a focus this week and we practised crossing the road safely during role play in the hall.  We know not to stand too close to the kerb and know to Stop, Look and Listen before crossing.  We remembered to walk across the road and not run and we discussed the importance of wearing brightly coloured clothes so that you can be seen clearly when crossing the road.  We used what we learned to design a brightly coloured reflective coat which would allow you to be seen clearly.  Lots of bright colourful designs were produced.  Well done P1b!

Wonderful work in P1a

Pla have been busy this week learning all about number stories to 2,3 and 4 !

We have been using our fingers to help to reminds ourselves about these facts!!

We have also been doing some wonderful writing and spelling ! We have been challenging ourselves to write words using set 1 and set 2 sounds. Miss Rodford thinks that our spelling is getting much better.

P1a have also been learning all about road safety. We have some top tips to stay safe when crossing the road ….

1. Keep your feet behind the kerb

2. Look left and right

3. Listen for any traffic

4. Hold hands with an adult

5. Cross when you can see it is safe
