Our first week back to P1 after the Christmas holidays has been a really busy one.
On Monday we spoke about New Year and we found out about resolutions. We made our own.
Here are some of the things we want to do this year:
Be a kind boy. – Jamie (although we already think you are Jamie!)
Count to twenty. – Riley & Logan
Learn my sounds and be nice. – Brooke
Be a good friend. – Adam
Count past one hundred. – Eva
Be a good listener. – Caitlin O
Share with people. – Macey
Listen to Mrs Mackie. – Joanna (you are good at this already!)
Learn to read. – Caitlin B
In literacy we learned the ‘ai’ sound. We made the sound using play-dough, wrote it in sand used it in a word to make a sentence. It was trickier than we thought!
We looked at a picture of a snowy night scene. We had to talk with our partners about three things: what we could see, what we might hear and how we might feel. We then had to share our ideas with the rest of the class. In our picture it was snowing but inside our classroom it was cosy, so we went outside for two minutes to feel how cold it was, as it was a frosty morning. Someone said it was cold but Mrs Mackie asked for a better word to describe how we felt. Ally said it FREEZING!
Then we had to use our ideas to write a story. We used the sounds we have been learning to help us. Mrs Mackie thinks we have written super stories using our imaginations.
In numeracy we have been learning our number bonds to 6 as well as doing lots of counting. We discovered that there is a pattern in the numbers on a 100 square and we were able to use this to count up to 50 together. We found it a bit challenging going from 29 to 39 to 40 and 49 to 50 but we won’t give in and will continue to keep learning.
In Maths we were learning about prepositional language. Prepositions tell us where something is (for example, beside, under, on, against, beneath or over). We played a guessing game to see if we could say where the seahorse was hiding. We also learned a song to help us show where things are. We are hoping that Mrs Mackie can figure out how to post it to the blog so that we can share it with you!
We are looking forward to our first assembly of the new year tomorrow and seeing our classmate and friend Eva being presented with her first Head Teacher’s Award.
Have a good weekend when it comes.
Happy New Year to everyone!
First day back into learning for P7 started with listening and talking about the holidays and goals for the rest of P7. We followed this up with mental maths and a time word problem challenge in trios. It took ‘time’ to tackle it because as well as using addition and subtraction skills, it was important to analyse the clues given about each person’s journey to school. Great growth mindset shown by all today on the first day back!
A few pictures from our Christmas party. P1 had an amazing time dancing, singing and playing party games. They also enjoyed lots of party food!
Have a lovely Christmas everyone!
In the P5 P4 and p5/4 Christmas party we where having lots of fun playing games, and dancing along with music and having a good time.
The party winners were Warren Aleisha and Kelsey a big well done.

Just a wee reminder that all of the P1 children will have their Christmas party tomorrow (Wed 19th December) after lunch.
Children can come to school in party clothes, get changed in school (someone will help them) or if you wish, can be taken home at lunch time to be changed.
If you wish to take your child home our lunchtime is 12:15-1:00pm. 
Hello from Primary Seven,
Today we were hard at work getting into the holiday spirit, by learning to create codes to help santa locate and deliver presents. We planned routes using STEM Glasgow’s daily advent calendar challenge and santatracker on the iPads. Coding helps teach pupils skills in problem solving, creativity, critical thinking and builds on Maths skills such as directions.

Everyone Welcome! We hope to see you there.
Primary 5 have been up to a lot this week.
Handball Tournament
The handball tournament involved Primary 5 playing against other Primary 5’s from Simpson Primary and Our Lady of Lourdes. It was exciting. We all played mini games that lasted 7-8 minutes each. We got a certificate to say well done for taking part.
Maths
The squares and pentagons were learning about symmetry. We found lines of symmetry and created our own. We completed Christmas symmetry images.
The circles were learning about time duration. We also had to write times in digital time.
We all learned about weight. We learned how to weigh things and how to read the scale. We had to use these skills to help Eddie the Elf measure how heavy some presents were because he had to put them into Santa’s sleigh from heaviest to lightest.
Writing
We had to create persuasive letters to convince Santa to put our French puppet Jean-Paul back on his nice list. He was on the naughty list because he jumbled up our computer cables. We had to list reasons why Santa should put him back on the nice list. Some of us thought it might have been Eddie the Elf who mixed them up. We will never know….
We hope you have a lovely weekend .
Remember P5 and P4 have their Christmas Party on Monday afternoon.
