Over the last couple of weeks, P1 have been very lucky to have some visitors. Our visitors have told them all about their jobs and how they keep others safe. Lots of people had very good questions to ask so they could find out more about these jobs.
Primary 1 – Pumpherston People – Our Working Village
As part of their topic, P1 have been taking on different jobs across the school. Here they are, hard at work …
Strictly P1!
P1 – Pumpherston People – Our Working Village
P1 were busy yesterday afternoon creating their own working village using loose parts. There were cafes, shops, police stations and vehicles. We saw lots of roleplay, cooperation and writing.
P1 Achievements
The wider achievement forms were sent home last week – please talk to your children about these and send them in to be displayed outside our classrooms. Achievements may happen at home or at a club. Children are encouraged to bring in a picture, certificate or even a medal to share with their class.
Many thanks
P1 – Have a look at the moon before bed!
Primary 1
This week P1 have continued to learn new sounds. We are confident with lots of sounds now so have started to write some 3 letter words more independently. This weeks sounds were ‘o’ and ‘g’ so we could build words like ‘dog’ and ‘got’.
For maths we have been practising counting forward and backward from different numbers, recognising numbers and saying what comes before or after. Some numbers have been quite tricky to write so we will be trying different ways to learn and practise these.
In topic, we have been listening to and talking about fairytale stories. We have enjoyed acting out the stories using puppets, sequencing the story and making masks for the characters. The Fairytale Land knights were also busy in the school playground today protecting their castle.
Primary 1
Primary 1m and Primary 1s have had a busy week. We are becoming knights of the castle. The first thing a knight needs is a shield, so we have been printing our shields using potatoes from the garden.
Primary 1
P1m and P1s have been very busy and learning lots of new things.
Each classroom has started to build their own Fairytale Land castle. We had to find out about the different parts of castles so we could make it look like a real castle from the past. We have made the castle walls look like stone and made sure the battlements were at the top.
For Maths week, we practised our number formation by writing numbers in icing on biscuits. They tasted lovely and we remembered that we need to clean our teeth after sweet treats!
Our school garden has lots of vegetables ready to harvest at the moment so P1 helped to pick the potatoes. We then had to wash, peel, cut, mash and cook them. Our potato feast was ready just in time for Thursday snack – mashed potato and wedges. We all enjoyed having a wee try!

Primary 1
Both primary 1 classes have had a fun and busy week. In numeracy, we have been practising our counting and number formation. In phonics, we are already learning some letter sounds and are beginning to blend these together to make words.
On Thursday, we received a letter from The Friendly Dragon in Fairyland asking for our help. He is very sad because he has lost his castle. He has left a special “dragon-mail” letterbox outside our classroom and we have written back to let him know that we will help him build a new castle. We are very excited!
