This week we linked our learning to Halloween.
We wrote spooky stories, and did some Halloween counting, adding, place value and code breaking.

The Hive Trip
On Wednesday some of The Hive children went on a walk to Almondell country park. We were looking for signs of Autumn.
“The leaves are falling off the trees” said Aria.
“The leaves are all yellow and red” said Eoin.
We had a great time!
Term 1 in The Hive
The children in The Hive have had a great first term.
We have learned many new things at our workstations.
We have also enjoyed some outdoor learning during Maths Week.
We learned some life skills by making our own sandwiches!
We have used our creative building skills in the block play area.
Mrs Grieve, Mr Fazakerley and all the Hive children hope you all have a lovely October holiday.
Farewell Mrs O’Neill
After many years as a Nursery Nurse at ECPS Mrs O’Neill is now retiring. Some of us visited Mrs O’Neill today to hand over the many cards, gifts and pictures that have been handed in by both families and staff members. She really was overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity. I’m sure you would all join me in wishing Mrs O a very long and happy retirement. 
Home Learning Grid P1
Dear Primary 1,
How are you all? We hope you had a lovely long weekend. One of our activities this week is to write a letter, so we decided to put our Blog Post in the form of a letter to help out with your layout.
Attached is the Home Learning Grid, some ideas for playing Staying Quiet games to help our Listening skills and, the next common words for the group who reads with Ms Boyes and Mrs Forbes.
All Numberblocks episodes are now available to watch on the BBC iplayer, to help you with your Numeracy skills.
Have a good week learning.
Love from,
Mrs Grieve, Mrs Murdoch, Mrs Forbes and Ms Boyes.
Happy Easter P1
We just wanted to wish you all a lovely Easter holiday. It will be a very different holiday this time but I’m sure you will all find things to do in your houses or gardens with your family.
Stay safe and take care.
We will post another Homework Grid on Monday 20th April.

In class we read the 3 books : The Station Mouse, Unicorn Expert, and The Prince and the Witch and the Thief and the Bears. We then voted on our favourite one and displayed our results in a graph.
The winner was …………………………………………………. The Station Mouse! See if you agree at home!
Book Week In Primary 1.
The Primary 1 children have been having lots of fun during book week. We have been listening to lots of stories and doing some linked activities.
We decorated our classroom doors to look like the covers of some of our favourite books!
We also enjoyed a visit from one of the authors of Badger the Mystical Mutt books, Laura Jackson. She even brought along Badger!
We had some lovely stories read to us by Ann from East Calder Library. She read us a story about worries, which helped us to know what to do if we are worried about something. Then she ended with an old favourite, Elmer the Elephant.
The excitement at East Calder just kept on coming, with a visit from the Book Bug!!! He came along to see us all in preparation for our grown ups coming in to school today to be given our Book Bug packs.
