Spring Forward in Learning and Life – Becoming. Belonging. Believing.
Here is a PowerPoint I have made of some of our highlights of the year (I hope the link works).
What a year it has been!! Thank you for all of your support and help this year. I have had the best year with this class. They are all stars and we have had so much fun. I will miss them all dearly so I hope they will come and visit me next year!
I hope you all have a wonderful summer!
Take care,
Lots of love

P1/2 enjoyed a teddy bear picnic today and invited their buddies to join us.
Well done to the following children for their achievements over the last new weeks…
Jack Stapleton in P2 for gaining a new belt in Judo! Super effort Jack!

A huge thanks to everyone who supported us with Springfield’s Got Talent. We certainly enjoyed watching our talented children perform.
We had a wonderful day and managed to raise £257.35 with our dress down money.
This money will be used by the Pupil Council to buy some outdoor equipment, this was based on pupil feedback earlier this year.
Our P4-P7 winners were Dayna Roy-Sweeney and Julia Calabrese. Well done girls.
Today, Sammy and Zara represented our class in Springfield’s Got Talent. Sammy sang ‘We Built This City’ and Zara played ‘Hot Cross Buns’ on her glockenspiel. Both acts were absolutely fantastic and we were very proud of them for performing in front of such a big audience.
Today we had a magician in P1A! Thomas performed some magic tricks in class and dazzled us with his magic. Well done, Thomas!
What a talented bunch we are! Singing, playing musical instruments, performing magic tricks and also writing our own books! Today we finished our own story books and they are ready to share with other classes and then people at home. This week, we looked at blurbs and we learned that they tell you what the story is going to be about. We wrote our own blurbs for our books and finished our illustrations. Miss Harrison said that she was so proud of us as we worked very hard and created brilliant books!
We can’t wait to share our books with our families!
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
A HUGE well done to all of the acts that performed today. You showed great courage and bravery to get up and perform to such a big audience. What talented boys and girls we have!
We have started our countdown to the summer! On Monday we popped balloon number 10 and we had to reflect on our time in P1/2. We looked back at photos of our learning and talked to our partners about things we have learnt and our favourite memories. We then drew these memories on a memory wheel. We can keep these until we are older and look back on our time in P1/2.
On Tuesday balloon 9 set us a challenge to write a letter to our new teacher. We had to use all of our skills we had learnt this year to write independently to Miss Prince telling her all about us! Miss Mudd could not have been more proud of our wonderful work!
On Wednesday we made some ‘all about me’ flowers to tell Miss Prince everything she needs to know about P1/2.
Our balloon on Thursday challenged us to some team work activities. Our class novel is The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me. We looked at how well the animals worked together as a team. Miss Mudd set us some team challenges. We then had to reflect on what worked well and what we would change. We came up with a list of qualities that make a good team. We then went outside to play some parachute games and had to apply our team work skills.
We have also worked hard to finish our imaginative stories. We learnt how to write a blurb and looked at examples of good blurbs. We tried to give a little hint about the story and use a question to entice our readers. Next week we will be celebrating our stories with the other P1 classes. Mrs Tulloch popped in on Friday to hear some of them and she was blown away by the talented authors in P1/2.
This week we held our auditions for Springfield’s Got Talent. We have some very talented boys and girls in P1/2. We had some magic tricks, forward rolls, gymnastics, poetry and even lip dancing!
In IDL we continued to learn about people who help us in our local community. We had a visit from Mrs Goddard who is a Doctor. Our visit was very informative and we loved playing with all of the interesting equipment. A HUGE thank you to Mrs Goddard for giving up her time to come and speak to us.
There have been a lot of achievements in P1/2 this week. Isabel brought in her level 1 certificate for Gymnastics. Olivia also brought in her Level 1, 2 and 3 certificates and explained the skills she needed to achieve these levels. Daniel brought in his Taekwondo belt and told us how he got his blue stripe.
On Monday we also went out to watch some of the upper school take part in the Quidditch tournament. It was very exciting and they all did very well.
We wanted to say a huge well done to all of the P7s. They performed a fabulous leavers assembly and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We have loved having you as buddies this year and we hope you liked our messages. We wish you all the best for your transition to the Academy. Please come back and visit us soon!

Hello!
We hope that you all had a wonderful time at the Gala Day on Saturday. A MASSIVE well done to Springfield for winning 1st place for our float. A huge thank you to ALL who came along and supported our school!
What a fantastic day we had on Monday for our Quidditch tournament! The sun shone the entire day and all of us had lots of fun displaying the skills that we have attained in the last few weeks! We were absolutely delighted that we all received Quidditch certificates presented by Kieran.
We would all like to take this opportunity to thank Kieran for giving up his own time to teach us, not only Quidditch, but skills for life that we will use in the future.
We researched the artist Vincent Van Gogh this week. We had to consider why the artist chose sunflowers and what mood the sunflowers gave the painting, justifying our answers. We had to think of adjectives and images to describe the sunflowers, Mrs McCartney was so impressed with our contributions.
We investigated and analysed fidget spinners before designing, making and evaluating our own spinner. The spinner had to be for children aged between 7 and 11. We had to stick to the design criteria and researched different types of fidget spinners to aid our designs. It was very important that we kept in mind the audience it was intended for and accurately used a wide range of equipment to make our spinners in pairs. We realised the importance of maintaining a growth mindset and making improvements was the key to success as we worked through the project. Next week we are going to give opinions on our own work and on the work completed by our peers when we present our fidget spinners.
Well done to the choir who sang ‘Titanium’ beautifully during our P7 Leavers Assembly. We don’t think there will be a dry eye in the house when the P7 children present their assembly to their parents.
Well done to Joseph Burgess who won the completion to guess how many straws were in the box for Cancer Research! He was soooooo surprised and delighted!!
A huge well done also to Sophie, Sahasra and our two Joseph’s along with Samuel who got through to the final of Springfield’s Got Talent which will take place on Tuesday, it was so hard to pick two acts to go through to the final as ALL the auditions were absolutely fantastic .
We were reflecting on P5 this week, creating our own unique hand designs and we wrote about what we enjoyed about P5, what we will miss and the funniest moments!!
We shared laughter, a few tears and wonderful moments!
In Maths we calculated time durations in word problems, this provoked lots of discussion when we realised that the calculation for the first problem led to the next problem. We maintained a growth mindset throughout.
Mrs McCartney is delighted with our Personal Projects, well done to all for our hard work and many thanks to our parents for all your support! Mrs McCartney can’t wait to read them all at the weekend.
Things to remember for our last week in P5:
*Springfield’s Got Talent Show – Tuesday 27th June
*Sports Day – Wednesday 28th June
*P5A Class Talent Show – Friday 30th June (special guest is Callum Crocker!)
Have an amazing weekend!
P5A and Mrs McCartney
This week we have been learning to count in jumps in 10s and 5s. We played games on Education City, found missing numbers in sequences to 100, ordered numbers in the correct order and used our knowledge of counting on in 5s and 10s to connect the dots. Some of us were able to count up beyond 100! We also looked at sorting information into Carroll diagrams and reading and making graphs.
Soon there will be 19 new story books in the world! We have been working really hard to write our own stories using characters and settings which we created ourselves. This week we looked at features of a front cover to help us to design our own front covers for our books. Our titles are fantastic and we put a lot of effort into our illustrations. Next week we will complete our books and before bringing them home, share them with P1B and P1/2.
On Monday Mrs Goddard came to visit us to talk to us about being a doctor. She told us about what she does to help people. Mrs Goddard showed us some of her equipment. We got to use the stethoscope to listen to our hearts, we got our oxygen levels checked and some of us even got our blood pressure monitored! We asked Mrs Goddard lots of questions about being a doctor and learned about how doctors help people in the community.
On Wednesday, we had a mini Sports Day with Mrs Reid in the hall. We took part in different potted sports such as hockey dribbling, football dribbling, hurdles and angels and we even had some races! Hopefully the rain will stay off and we’ll be able to take part in a whole school Sports Day next Wednesday!
Today we attended the P7 Leaver’s Assembly. The P7’s did a fantastic job of sharing their Springfield memories with us through music and drama. At the end of the assembly, we surprised the P7’s with videos from each of us to our buddies! We would like to thank the P7’s for being such wonderful and friendly buddies and for helping us settle into P1. We wish you all the best of luck in S1!
Thank you for reading our blog post and we hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
