Primary 1 – Day 1

Leave a comment

Good morning boys and girls,

I hope you are safe and well and ready for a new day of learning.

In your School Closure Pack, you will find an A3 jotter with your Study Ladder log in details pasted on the inside cover.

Ask an adult to help you log in to your tablet or ipad and have a go at the Literacy activities. These are sounds you have already been taught in class, so just have a practise at some revision activities.

At 10.30, Mrs Bryce will post a link to Fischy Music on You Tube and I am sure you will find joining in lots of fun!

Magic Wand Walk

Leave a comment

The children in Primary 1/2 enjoyed a fantastic walk in our local woodland area today to collect sticks suitable for making magic wands. On our return to class, the children created their own magic wand using collage materials which they proudly showed off. They then used their magic wands to make a wish which they wrote about during this afternoon’s writing session. What a busy, fun day!!

As the nativity and pantomime practices take over and with pva glue and glitter flying all over the school for Christmas crafts each class found time to add a bit of Christmas cheer to the hall.

 

This year as our focus in school is on raising the profile of reading we have each decided to focus on a Christmas book.

P1 Beecraigs Outing

Leave a comment

At the end of May, Primary 1 enjoyed a fantastic outing to Beecraigs Country Park. The children met “Monica”, the highland cow and observed three little lambs whose mummy couldn’t look after them as she was ill. We took part in a nature scavenger hunt where we found all sorts of interesting creatures and plant life. We visited the wildlife garden where many colourful pants were attracting lots of bees and insects. We were lucky enough to enjoy some very warm weather which helped us to enjoy a picnic lunch outdoors.

Minibeasts

Leave a comment

This term, Primary 1 are learning all  about minibeasts.

We introduced our new theme with the story of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, by Eric Carle which illustrates the life cycle of a butterfly and we have some live caterpillars in our classroom which we are looking forward to watching changing into butterflies.

Our role play area is a “Minibeast Investigation Lab”, where we are having fun using different pieces of equipment to investigate some pretend minibeasts up close.

We visited our outdoor garden area on a minibeast hunt equipped with bug finders, magnifying glasses and minibeast observation sheets so that we could record our findings.We were lucky enough to discover slugs, snails, beetles, woodlice and some tiny spiders.

We will continue with our outdoor learning experiences with a visit to Beecraigs Country Park on 31st May.

P1 and P2 Generation Science

Leave a comment

 

Yesterday Primary 1 & 2 had a visit from the Generation Science Team who presented the topic, “Ready, Teddy, Go”, where the children found out all about forces from the bears, Isaac and Newton.

The children participated in activities where they demonstrated pushing and pulling, gravity, floating and sinking and friction. They were engaged in experiments where they were encouraged to predict the results just like real scientists!!

It’s a MYSTERY!

Leave a comment

It’s been an interesting few days for ASD1. At the Assembly on Friday 6th January we were given a mystery box and told we were not allowed to open it. Miss Carson had to carry it with her at break and lunchtime and we had to LOOK, THINK and WONDER about the box.

We were able to see that the box was tall and narrow, it didn’t weigh much and something moved inside when we held it. We thought it might be a soft toy or sand or a few other things. We wrote down everything we thought about what was inside.

Finally, the moment arrived and we opened our box today (Wednesday 11th January) to find a very funny umbrella. It is made of wood and paper. We will be doing some activities about our umbrella over the next few days but the first things we wanted to do was dress up as the person who owns it.

Who do you think we are?
