Fairy Houses – Carmondean Primary School Blog

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a good Easter break and the children certainly seem well rested and raring to go for our final term in Primary 1.

This week the children have been very excited about the arrival of Brambleberry – a forest elf from an enchanted forest in Perthshire!

They wrote some fantastic descriptions about him using their knowledge of sounds and tried hard to include some wow words. He will be helping them learn lots about the forest including habitats and different types of trees. The children will have the opportunity to design and build their own fairy house with their Primary 7 buddy on Tuesday. Please can you send any materials in that they may wish to use e.g. empty cereal/shoes boxes, clean yogurt cartons/juice bottles or any craft materials to decorate.

In Maths, the children have been gathering and presenting information in different ways e.g. tally marks, pictograms etc. We are also continuing to practise telling o’clock and half past times on digital and analogue clocks.

Primary 1 PE is still on a Thursday and we would be very grateful if you could send the appropriate kit with your child on this day.

Thank you for your continuing support,

Primary 1 Teachers

Hello All,

I’m sure you’ll agree this term is flying by and with another short week this week, we are busy making the most of the children’s remaining time in Primary 1! Please remember that children are on holiday this Thursday (4 th May). Last week the children made a fantastic job of their fairy houses along with the help of their Primary 7 buddies. The teachers were very impressed, not only with the standard of finished product but the hard work and creativity the children put into them. Thank you for all the materials sent in from home. This week the children had an opportunity to assess their fairy houses by giving 2 stars and a wish – an important skill to develop as they become more independent in their learning.

In maths, the children are continuing to work with o’clock and half past times in words and on digital and analogue clocks. Please help your child to practise this skill in everyday activities whenever possible.

In Science the children have been learning about food chains and have created basic examples by themselves. This week they will begin to study water, it’s features and uses.

The children will be saying goodbye to Brambleberry, the forest elf this week and will be beginning their next topic on farming next week.

Thank you for continuing support.
