P1c Scottish Celebrations – 25th January

This week we have been listening to lots of Scottish stories and talking about Scots words. We learned that Robert Burns was famous for writing Scots songs and poems and today we celebrated his birthday by having our own Burns Supper in class.

This included toasts to the laddies and lassies which we had written ourselves and a toast to the haggis (crisps!) read by Mrs Smith.  We enjoyed our Scottish snacks which also included shortbread and tablet that Mrs Smith had kindly made for us.  As you will see from the photographs there was lots of dancing to Scottish music! At our Scottish assembly we sang Heid, Shooders, Knaps an Taes – not a traditional Scots song but a nice way to end our special Scottish morning!

Health & Wellbeing Week in P1a

This week we have taken part in lots of different activities to help us learn about improving our health and wellbeing.

On Monday morning we practised our movement skills playing games at Enjoy-a Ball with Paul.

In the afternoon, we had great fun learning dance moves with some girls from P7 – we were even able to show off some of our own dance moves as we love dancing in P1a!

On Tuesday we had a more relaxing day with Amy from Relax Kids. We learned how to control our breathing and keep calm if we were feeling worried or upset.   We also got to lie down and relax while Amy told us a lovely relaxing story.

Wednesday was a lovely sunny day and our first, very exciting sports day at Linlithgow Primary School.  Miss McDermott was too busy picking up javelins to take very many photographs!

All week we have been recording the number of healthy snacks we have been eating. On Thursday we talked about what we thought were healthy foods.  We worked in groups to sort foods in to groups of eat more and eat less.

Lots of us also brought our bikes and scooters to school and enjoyed taking part in the obstacle course.

Before assembly on Friday we discussed getting help in an emergency and when it is appropriate to call to 999.  We enjoyed taking part in some role play however lots us don’t know our home addresses which is perhaps some homework for the holidays!!

P7A Creativity Challenge

P7A have been looking after a mysterious box for the last few days.  Today was the day to open it…

Inside was a crest wrapped in a blanket – we brainstormed some ideas of what the crest might mean, where it was from, what is was and what the symbols meant.  After a bit of research we came up with some ideas…

Then we worked to think of creative things we could do – we had loads of different ideas.

Right now, we’re working on some of the suggestions we cameup with.  We’ll post up some of the final creative activities!
