And just like that, it’s Christmas!!!

We cannot believe we have finished another term in P1, where did the time go?

We have had a fantastic week doing Christmas activities. In literacy, we wrote about our own imaginary snowmen that came to life. We used descriptive language to describe what we did together and how it made us feel. We also made Christmas cards, focusing on the words we use and the layout.

In numeracy, we continued our learning of shape. We discussed the differences between 2D and 3D shapes; we sorted shapes into different categories and made Christmas pictures using the 2D shapes we learned. We also enjoyed making 3D structures using the building blocks.

Our class elf delivered another letter from Santa this week and he even sent us a video message of him delivering special gifts to our classrooms! Hooray, we all made it on the nice list!

Mrs Howley and Miss Gorman are so proud of all our achievements this term and said we all deserve a well-earned break! We hope you all have a lovely festive holiday! They would also like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ for all the lovely Christmas cards and gifts.

There is no homework for over the holidays, however we have sent home a list of the sight words and sounds that we have learnt for you to practice over the holidays.

There is a little Christmas surprise uploaded to Seesaw for you to enjoy!

Merry Christmas from P1 xxx

Good afternoon all.

What a busy few days we have had! Yesterday we learned all about stamps and the children designed their own Christmas stamps (while listening to Christmas music). There were some fantastic designs. I hope you enjoyed seeing their ideas!

Today we were estimating and comparing weights…

And here are some photos from a couple of weeks ago of us using non-standard measures to see how tall we are and using metre sticks to find ‘things that are shorter/longer than a metre’.

Have a lovely weekend!

Christmas has arrived in P1! We got a visit from a magical Elf who sent us a letter from Santa. He is going to be telling Santa all about our learning and watching to see if we are using our listening skills in class! We were so excited to get a chocolate advent calendar on Monday and start the countdown to Christmas!  

In literacy, we learned about the letters ‘g’ and ‘v’. Check out our violent volcanos and glamorous glasses! We also wrote a letter to Santa telling him our name, age and what we would like for Christmas. 

In numeracy, we were using hundreds, tens and units to make an amount, we also practised our number formation and identified the number before and after a given number. 

Mrs Howley’s class created our own toy robots using the different materials we were learning about in science. Look at us making our amazing creations! 

We finished our week having lots of fun and giggles playing in the snow!!! It was a bit chilly but we loved it! 

You should have received a group call about when your child’s toy talk will be next week. Reminder to upload the picture to Seesaw or send it to the school office.

Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday!

Well after an eventful morning for some of us trying to get here, we deserved some fun in the snow. It was perfect for making a class snowman or two ⛄️☺️

P6  took a break from all their hard work today and headed out into the snow to break up our afternoon.

Look at the fun we had ☺️

P6 enjoyed refreshing their learning about St Andrew this week. We celebrated by creating our own tartan designs and turning them into kilts.

Here are some examples…  

Have a great week,

P6 and Miss Lynch
