A Beanstalk in P1A

Today the dragon left us a letter and some very special beans. They are magic beans and we had to plant them in some magic soil. We remembered how to plant the seed correctly but instead of using water we used the magic green stars the dragon left at the postbox. We all went out and got a star to put in. After playtime the beanstalk had started to grow! Mrs Carlyle told us that if we sing to the plant it would grow even better so we sang our ‘Plant a Little Seed’ song and sure enough when we came back in after PE it had grown a bit bigger. During lunchtime it grew even taller! We are wondering how tall it will be on Friday when we come back. Some people think it will have gone right through the roof.

Primary 1A Update 28th April

This week we received a letter from a Friendly Dragon who asked for our help. His fairyland home has been destroyed so he needs us to help him rebuild it. We need to read lots of fairy tales and we will be doing lots of work on these. We wrote letters back to the dragon to say we would love to help him and we posted them in the special D Mail box he had left in the area. Keep an eye on the blog for updates about the Dragon.

Here are some of the things we enjoyed learning about this week.

Filip – The dragon came to visit. He left a letter.

Danyal – We chose new lead learners.

Nellie – The dragon wants us to read fairy tales.

Lily – The dragon wants us to help rebuild Fairyland.

Jaagruti – We wrote letters to the dragon and he wants us to build him a home.

Alfie – We made pictures for a competition. They have pirates and mermaids.

P1A Update 31st March 2017

This week we had an Easter Egg Hunt in the woodland. In the eggs were some adding and take away sums and we used our finger patterns help us to answer these. We learned about the Easter Story and we made some beautiful paintings. We had a lovely visit from Ava’s (P2) Mum and her baby boy. We asked lots of questions about looking after a baby and loved having Jay in our class. We finished the week at Assembly to hear about the Behaviour Challenge and then we did some Easter crafts.

Have a lovely holiday everyone!

Term 3 Behaviour Challenge!

We had our end of term behaviour assembly this morning. At the assembly, which was led by the House Captains and Vice Captains, we heard about how everyone had got on over the term. The captains and vice captains told everyone that they were very proud of their houses and the efforts that had been made in behaviour this term.

Mrs Egan gave out certificates for the pupils with the most Dojo points in their class and certificates which were awarded by the teachers to pupils who had tried hard over the term. Pupils with more than 50 points had their names put into a raffle and 3 names were drawn to win Easter prizes. The winners were Catherine Boland (P5A), Leah Griffiths (P3B) and Kuba Wala (P2B). Well done to them!

Then the moment we had all been waiting for. The winning house for the term was revealed and it was…………………. St Ninians!! Well done to everyone from St Ninians house who showed that a final push for good behaviour can have benefits! Everyone in that house received an Easter gift bag as a reward for their good behaviour – well done to you all!!!!
