Term 4 in P1H

And just like that, it’s June…and we have finished Primary one!

Look what we have been getting up to this term!

In numeracy we focussed on addition and subtraction, doubles and near doubles, symmetry and measure!

In literacy we finished learning all our sounds and applied our knowledge in our writing lessons. We really enjoyed using arts and crafts to help us remember our two letter sounds, ‘sh’ for pirate ships!

In science we focussed on our 5 senses. Look at our faces when we used our sense of smell to guess what was inside the smelly socks!

We thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills in our basketball lessons and had great fun during our school sports day!

We practiced our road safety during our ‘Keeping Ouselves Safe’ health and wellbeing lessons. It was great fun being a lollipop man/lady!

In our last week of term we took advantage of the sunshine and had our own ‘Primary 1 Picnic and Play in the Park’. We played games, picked flowers and made buttercup crowns!

We made the most of our new outdoor learning resources and used our problem solving skills to make dens! We think Mrs Howley and Miss Gorman had more fun than us!

Green fingers! Planting flowers and vegetables in our new raised beds.

Keeping our outside spaces clean and tidy during the Falla Hill litter pick!

Our topic this term was ‘Kings, Queens and Castles’. We worked with our friends to create amazing castles in the block play area!

And finally, who could forget Scotland making it to the ‘UEFA Euro 2020’. We had our flags ready to cheer them on!

I am so proud of all you have achieved this year Primary 1. We have made lots of great memories together and I have enjoyed watching each and every one of you grow and learn over the past few months. Enjoy your well-deserved summer holidays.

I would like to say a huge ‘Thank you’ for all the lovely cards and gifts I received.

What a year P1G!

And just like that, it’s June…and we have finished Primary one!

Look what we have been getting up to this term!

Numeracy- This term in numeracy, we focused on practicing all that we had learnt this year and pushing ourselves to try even trickier sums!

Literacy- In literacy this term, we finished off learning all of our sounds and put these into practice during our writing lessons.

Beyond Number- In maths this term, we learnt about lines of symmetry. We painted our butterflies, folded them in half and watched how the prints were symmetrical. We also used mirrors to show lines of symmetry. We also learnt all about directions and I thought it was the best time to teach the children one of my school disco classics ‘The Cha Cha slide’. They absolutely loved it!

In technologies, Ms Jamieson was teaching us all about designing and building a village so we spent some time building a bridge to go over our river!

Our topic this term was Kings, Queens and Castles (we also looked at dragons!). We planned our own royal banquet, we learnt about all the features of a castle and used the wooden blocks to build our own!

Our topic in science was all about our senses. We went on a hearing walk to see what we could hear all throughout the school. We completed an obstacle course to show how important our eyesight is.

We spent a lot of time outside practicing our basketball skills in PE, completing a school litter pick and learning how to keep ourselves safe in Health and wellbeing.

I am so proud of all your achievements this year Primary one. I hope you all have a lovely well-deserved summer holiday! I would also like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ for all the lovely cards and gifts.
