This week in Primary 1S we have been very busy 😀

At the start of the week we made bird 🐦 feeders. We mixed lard with seeds and dried out mealworms. We had lots of fun mixing these up and are looking forward to watching the birds enjoy them.

We also enjoyed some buddy time, we played online story sequence games. We had to carefully think about the storyline and the characters. The story we were sequencing was Jack and the Beanstalk. We all did very well, and we are all a bit competitive 😉

Our maths focus has been Time. We have been learning what the big and small hands mean on the clock ⏰ O’Clock and Half Past ⏰ . We have played games, we have made our own clocks and used the learning clocks in class.

On Thursday we went up the woods with our Primary 7 buddies. We worked together to create Fairy 🧚 houses in the woods. We had to think about what a Fairy 🧚 would want in a house and balance lots of things.

We have had a lovely week in school.

Our last week  of cooking club we headed outside 😀

We were very safe with the fire 🔥 pit and we cooked hotdogs followed by s’mores.  We have all had lots of fun during cooking 🧑‍🍳 club and had lots of fun in the trim trail after cooking.

Last week we enjoyed attending the careers fayre.  We met lots of interesting people and even got to play dress up!  Can you spot Miss Lindsay?

We received news that some of our writing work is going to be published!  Fantastic work!

We said goodbye to the most wonderful person today.  Our hearts are sad but we are so grateful and so blessed for the wonderful year that we have spent together. We marked the day with a teddy bears picnic, a dance and some party games. Farewell Mrs Topping!

This week we hosted our very first assembly. We have all learned so much this year and we we excited to share our journey with our school family as well as some grown ups from home.

We have enjoyed some time planting in the school grounds with our buddies this week.
We love Buddy time, reading with our P7 buddies and completing activities together. We watered plants, weeded some areas and planted some wild flower seeds, we hope that after the summer the have grown.

Today we made Danish Pastries 🥮.

We had to roll and cut our pastry dough, choose what fruit we would like in them and cop the fruit. We then put the fruit in our pasty and glazed them before putting them in the oven. To finish them off we dusted them with icing sugar.

SHARING THE LEARNING – 31.5.24

What a super morning we had with parents for our Sharing the Learning event.  As usual, we had a great turn out and we appreciate the support you show to your children and the school.

We have been learning about data handling and been focusing on pictograms.  This morning we collected data about Primary 3’s favourite fruits and we included parents too.  After collecting information, we created a pictogram to display the information and then analysed and interpreted it.

This week we had a great afternoon at our school careers fair. We got to speak to lots of different people who do different jobs.

Joseph – My favourite was the zoo man.

Keeva – I liked the make up lady best.

James – I want to be a fireman 🧑‍🚒 when I am big.

Jude – The best bit was my Judo master was there!

During art this week we made castles with our handprints. We had lots of fun painting our hands and mixing the colours. We then cut out triangles to make the top of our towers. We love art and are looking forward to bringing them home😀

On Thursday we did some planting in class. We have planted cress 🌱 seeds and 🥕 carrots. We are going to look after the carrots in class for a bit and then plant them in the school garden.

On Friday we enjoyed the Big Breakfast and Sharing our Learning. Lots of grown ups came into class and we showed them how to play maths games on the class iPads.

Have a lovely weekend 🥰
