Hello everyone,
Here is the link to today’s story. The book was written by Nick Butterworth who is famous for writing the Percy the Park Keeper stories. I haven’t read this story in class before so it may be one you are not familiar with. It includes a very nasty rat but a lovely ending – I do hope you like it as much as I do ( and Tufty does – as you will see fom the video!)

Hello everyone!
Hopefully the weather will be a bit better today – to quote one of my favourite sayings it rained cats and dogs all day in Bathgate yesterday! As you all know this is just a saying that means it rained very heavily. Wouldn’t that be a funny story though if it did rain cats and dogs in Bathgate? I’m not sure what Tufty and Cleo would think mind you – they don’t like the rain and they aren’t very happy about new cats coming into my garden never mind dogs too.
Today’s Story Time from Home is a book written by the author Nick Butterworth. He is famous for writing the Percy the Park Keeper stories and I haven’t read this story before in class. It has a lovely ending and I hope you enjoy it . Tufty certainly seemed to enjoy as you will see from the video!
Here is the link.
Have a nice day and remember to send me your cat stories if you can.

Good afternoon everyone,
How is your week going? Have you done anything you are especially proud of? Well done if so! You are doing very well learning at home and sending all your teachers wonderful updates on fun activities you have taken part in. We really love hearing from you!
Bennie is feeling a little tired today I think – he has been sleeping on the windowsill (it is quite wide!) all morning…
I know that lots of you enjoy listening to stories, just like I do, and so I have attached a link to a BBC radio website where you can listen to short stories – Click here to listen to The Hare and The Tortoise!
If you have time, listen to ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’ with an adult and then together you could see if you can figure out what the moral of the story was?
This story is a famous fable. A fable is a short story, usually with animals as the characters, that shares something called a moral. Morals are a bit like messages or reminders to behave in the ‘right’ way – to be kind, to share, to tell the truth, to help others, and other things that I know you are all very good at already.
There are more fables to listen to on the BBC School Radio website, although some of them can be a touch scary (in my opinion!) so if you want to check a story’s content before playing it for your child, there is an option underneath each story to read the full transcript!
Have a lovely afternoon P1, we miss you.
Your P1 Teachers
Hi boys and girls I hope you are all well and keeping yourselves safe. Mrs Cairns is really missing you all and I am missing all my friends too, so I decided to draw a picture of my friends do you recognise them? I also decided to draw a picture of my family as we have being having lots of fun playing games and watching films together in lockdown. I wonder if you could draw a picture of your friends and family.
I would love to see them, happy drawing love Mrs Cairns ❤️🌈 
Good morning, everyone.
Today is Wednesday. It is the middle of our working week.
Here is a new Mr Men story, Clocks.
I hope you enjoy watching it.
Have a lovely day.

Good Morning Primary 1,
As schools are closed it means that we will not get any school trips this year. All the Primary One teachers had been thinking about a summer trip and were considering Edinburgh Zoo.
As we can’t go, I wonder if you would like to have a look at the animals on the webcams. See what animals you can spot. There are 6 different cameras at the moment so you can see lions, koala’s as well as pandas and penguins.
https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/
You could create a pictogram of the animals that you see, write a story and draw a picture or find out some amazing animal facts.
They also have lots of fun activities to complete on Wild about June such as create your own memory game, have a scavenger hunt, make a leaf crown or even create a stone snake.

Today could be like a school trip even when you are at home. Have a fun day at the zoo Primary 1!
Good morning, everybody.
I got a bit of a fright when I typed in the date. I can’t believe we’re almost half way through June. After this week, we only have two more weeks left of this term – and of Primary 3. I’ve been a teacher for 32 years and I’ve never experienced a year like this!
You know that I’m not very good with IT. To be honest, I’m hopeless, but I’m glad I’ve been able to keep in touch with you all via email and this blog. Please keep the emails coming.
Just for fun…
