Primary one has been learning the days of the week and the months of the year. We learned about the new year and that we are in the year 2017. Our next steps will be to revise o’clock and learn half past. Time takes a lot of practise to learn so lots of opportunities will be given in school to practise time and the children can practise and use their new skills at home too. Have a look at our videos of our days of the week and months of the year songs, we are so talented in P1!

Happy New Year!
Primary 1 started off the new year with a bang! They worked so hard on their Elkonin boards building words using phonemes and we practised reading some common words. This is going to be a super term with lots of learning and fun!
Primary 1 and 2 Christmas Party
The children had so much fun today at the primary 1 and 2 Christmas Party. We played pass the parcel, musical bumps and statues, corners and showed super skills dancing the Virginia Reel. Our party food was yummy and we even had a special visit from Santa Claus himself!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
Oh Help, oh no, it’s a Gruffalo!!!
The children in primary 1 have enjoyed reading Julia Donaldson stories this term and making a fantastic Gruffalo display. Through these stories the children have learned about the pattern and rhyme of stories and how to develop a character. The children made up a new character for the book Room on the Broom. We learned about the role of an illustrator and an author and developed our love of reading by setting up a quiet reading tent in our classroom which the children named ‘the Julia Donaldson tent’!!! The children enjoyed making (and tasting) Gruffalo Crumble (apple crumble) and then we made our own recipe book using functional writing and sequencing skills.
Christmas
A massive well done to all of the Primary 1-3 pupils who performed in our Nativity play ‘Mend the Manger’.
We are lucky to have such talented little superstars in our school.
Christmas
The costumes are ready, the stage is set………could this be the best Nativity play yet?
The children in Primary 1, 1/2, 2 and 3 have been working so hard to produce this year’s Nativity Play, ‘Mend the Manger’.
We are so proud of all our little ‘shining stars’ in St Joseph’s Primary!
