This week we had our new children who will become Primary 1 pupils in August, spend time in the classroom over three days. Children enjoyed a wide range of activities to choose from including dough, sand, bathing babies, puzzles, painting, number writing activities, French and Spanish days of the week songs, calendar time, visiting the Headteacher’s office and much more. At Circle Time children said they had fun choosing and playing as well as making new friends. Everyone enjoyed having a chat with Travelling Ted and are looking forward to taking him on an adventure in August.

Primary 1/2 and 3/4 entertained parents at the Cafe and Cabaret as part of the Modern Languages fortnight. Parents were treated to renditions of Spanish and French songs that were delivered with great gusto, enjoyed by all!

Primary 1 had a symmetry hunt in their classroom and found many things that had two equal parts that are the same on each side.

Primary 1/2 have an aeroplane role play area in their classroom and needed in-flight magazines. They wrote about places to visit in New York as part of their New York Topic and used adventurous adjectives to persuade the reader to visit.

Primary 1/2 have been busy looking at photographs of Edinburgh and New York to see the differences and similarities. They made a mind map before writing about the two cities as well as completing illustrations.
