Primary 1 Update

Hello parents/carers,
What a wonderful first week we have had in Primary 1. The children have transitioned into their new class and routines well showing resilience to overcome their first week nerves. Thank you for supporting our learners on their new journey.
PE – Our PE days for this term will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Children should come into school with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate in sporting activities (ie trainers, joggers, t-shirt, jumper).
Snack for break time – If possible, can your child’s snack be kept separate from their lunch as some children are getting confused between what is for their break and what is for their lunch. Children may also want to have a small snack for the afternoon at the beginning of this school year, whilst they adjust to the longer days.
Seesaw login – All children will be provided with their Seesaw logins. Please try these at home and let me know if you have any issues. They will be uploading work onto their own accounts over the coming weeks once they have settled in to school life.
RCCT – Mrs Hardie will be working in Primary 1 on a Tuesday afternoon and will cover a range of HWB topics, PE and French.
Milk – Some children have been asking for milk; however they are not on the current list. If you would like them to be added to the list, please contact the school office.
Allergies – A reminder that no nut products should be brought into school due to children having allergies to different types of foods.
Personal items – Please ensure that everything your child brings to school is named. This will make it easier for them to look after and prevent things from being lost.
Lunch – Ensure children know what they are having for lunch before they arrive in the morning. If they are a school lunch which has been pre-ordered, this will not be changed by myself. You can order your child’s lunch through iPayimpact prior to them attending on the day. We use the colours in class to help identify what they would like.
The clear school bag/book bag provided during the transition into P1 is always useful for information to be sent home in. Please can you return the clear school bag/book bag so we can start using them to send information home. Should you not have access to the above, we will organise this for you.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw

On Friday, all children were given the chance to recite a Scots poem in class.

A big well done to two of our Primary one pupils, who worked hard at home to learn their poems and have been chosen to recite them at the P3 assembly on Wednesday. Well done to you both!


Please note that from this week our PE days will be a Monday and Thursday.

Primary 1 have been revising their sounds and numbers to check where we are with our learning.

Last week we were learning about New Year and the different ways it is celebrated around the world.

We made 2024 calendars to take home as a gift for our family. We worked with a partner to practise our cutting skills, making a collage  with old Christmas cards.

As part of our Scots focus we have been learning some Scottish songs and have also been given a choice of a short Scots poem to learn that we will get the chance to recite in class on Friday.

Primary 1 enjoy regular visits to the Community Library. Our lovely Librarian, Diane read “Superhero Hotel” this week. Here are some of our favourite parts of the story:
B: “I liked when they got thrown in the sky.”
A: “When they were all snoring.”
H: “When Mr Invisible got caught with the net.”

As part of our Fairyland topic, we completed another challenge this week. This time we helped Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Through our block play we had to build another chair for the bears, to replace the one that Goldilocks broke. We made our own bear puppets and sequenced the events of the story into the right order.

Primary 1 were happy to receive their Book Bug bag this week. We enjoyed listening to the stories and took part in activities relating to the books. We read “Penelope Snoop, Ace Detective.” After reading, we designed our own rocket to travel to space and packed our own suitcase, drawing everything we wanted to take with us.
We read the book “5 bears: A tale of friendship” then made fur for our own bear and clothes for them to wear.
Our book bag contained our first minibeast book so we designed our own butterfly and decorated its wings.
Thank you to all of the parents and carers  who came to our reading events on Thursday and Friday.  We appreciate your support.
