Well the weaving has commenced to make Hamish a new scarf…..it may take us some time! We hope Hamish doesn’t want his new scarf soon. This activity hopes to give the children a better sense of weaving and the next steps will be to sew using a needle and thread.
Primary 1 weavers
Today primary 1 used weaving techniques to design their own tartan. We found out it was pretty tricky but we all worked hard to master the technique. We are going to set up a weaving loom in class to make a new scarf for Hamish McHaggis.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Primary 1 have been so excited with the snow!!! Unfortunately not enough snow had fallen for us to build a snowman……..so we wrote a story about one. We had lots of fabulous ideas for what our snowmen got up to. We had snowmen parties, make-up parties, flying snowmen, pirate snowmen, unicorn snowmen, lost in the forest snowmen, mountain climbing snowmen, going to the movies with snowmen…….our imaginations were really working today!!!
Have you seen the Loch Ness Monster?
Primary 1 is collecting evidence about the Loch Ness Monster as part of their Scottish topic. We will be studying the Hamish McHaggis books by Linda Stachan and Sally J Collins. We will use the books to learn about some Scottish wildlife and landmarks as well as some traditional Scots sayings. The children found the saying ‘Haud yer wheest’ particularly amusing.
If you have any stories about Loch Ness or any Nessie sightings, please share them with your child and they can share them with their friends in class.
Epiphany
Today the Kings, or the wise men who came from the East arrive with their gifts for the new born King! Primary 1/2 found out about how they followed a star which led them to where they could find Jesus.

Make space for your own Big Top coming home soon!
Primary 1 learn time
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!!!
