We have reached the last day of Primary 1.   We have had lots of new experiences and fun.  We are ready to start P2 .    We hope everyone has a lovely holiday and we will see you in August !

Here we are clearing our growing box and then planting our crops of peas, basil and sunflowers.    We hope they grow well .

These are our fantastic  minature Fairyland models.  We chose different fairyland themes – Jack and the Beanstalk, The Three Little Pigs and Golsilocks and the Three Bears.   Our P7 buddies helped us to design and make these.

We had a great time at the Safari Park .   We saw so many animals.

There were so many things to see and do.

We loved the dinosaurs !

Bob the Builder was a big hit and we even saw the Kelpies on the way home  .      Hamish McHaggis would have been pleased !

What a busy time we’ve had over the last couple of weeks.  Here we are presenting our Assembly to our parents and our school community.

We did a fantastic job speaking and remembering our lines.

Our peas and sunflowers have been growing well in the classroom and it was time to give them more room to grow, so here we are preparing our planting box.    It was hard work pulling out the weeds from last season.  Watch this space to see our newly planted veg and flowers.

We learned some new hairdressing skills this week  during our play sessions.  It was great fun . Our appointment book has a few spaces, so call and book to upgrade your look.

We have been reading lots of fairy tales this term and since Goldilocks was a favourite we decided that we needed to try out some porridge and fruit for ourselves.    We chopped up banana and strawberries to go with the porridge which was just right  ! 

And finally here we are playing our percussion instruments on Samba Band Friday !   We love playing along to music on the Smartboard and getting in the mood for the weekend !   Have a good one !

A few weeks ago we planted sunflower seeds.  Here they are growing really well.   We have been observing the changes in them.

Here we are at the Careers Fair. We had great fun trying on all of the diferent uniforms.

We enjoyed the martial arts stand,  It was great fun trying out some kicks,

This  week we learned all about long , longer and longest and short , shorter and shortest.   We also measured the length of our feet and hands using cubes.

On Thursday we had a wonderful yoga session with the lovely lady from Nurture Yoga.   We learned how to hold strong poses and stretch our bodies.   We also had a lovely chill at the end, and nearly nodded off.

On National Numeracy Day we learned  that numbers are everywhere and we are always using numbers in our daily lives. We did a dance and had to use numbers to count out the steps and the actions in the dance.   We had to concentrate really hard, and as usual we were Superstars !

On Friday,  Day 5 of our Health Week , we made fruit kebabs.  We had to choose the fruits we liked and carefully put it on to skewers.  We had great fun choosing and eating the delicious fruit.

 Here we are doing our last activity of the week , planting seeds !  We planted sunflowers, peas, basil and cress.   Watch this space to see them grow !  

What a fantastic week we had !   We learned lots of new skills and had amazing new experiences.   Parents , please feel free to leave a comment .  We’d love to hear from you.

On Thursday we had a visit from the School Nursing Service Nurses.  We talked about keeping fit and active, brushing our teeth,  getting enough sleep and all things that keep us healthy.

We also had a chance to make Dream Catchers. We did a great job !

After break we had a go at  Highland Dancing ! Hamish McHaggis would have been proud  !

Out came the pom poms and off we went with our Cheerleader dancing !

After lunch on Thursday we had a wonderful time doing amazing sensory activities which were set up by Miss Allan and Mrs Mc Master.  (Thank you )  We had to show how good we were at balancing , jumping  and rolling.

We also got to feel lots of different textures, some rough , some smooth and some sticky and yukky, we loved it  !

Here we are enjoying our Sensory Workshop set up by Miss Lindsey.  We got to play with squishy orbies , make magic potions, pump water through pipes, find objects frozen in ice and chip them out and spray paint onto paper !   It was so much fun !

What a fabulous day !

We started our day with an Enjoy-a-Ball session.  We learned new skills linked to volleyball.   We tried out ‘digging’, ‘ serving’ and volleying the ball.   We had great fun.

After break we kept active by playing ‘Spot the Word’ and dancing at the same time.  That was fun.

After lunch we had our Sports Afternoon  and tried out lots of fun activities.   We were happy to see our families.

Another great day !

Day 2 of our amazing Health Week.   Here we are playing games with our P7 Buddies.

We did some freeze dancing with Danny Go.

We did some gardening with Mrs Watson  and our friends in P1S, and we made flower bombs.   We had to squeeze compost , clay and water together to make a ball shape , then we rolled it in flower seeds.   After that we planted them .  Hopefully we will be able to watch what happens with the seeds and how they grow.

Here we are doing some dancing to music with P1S

We had time to explore and play in the outdoor class room with our P1S friends.

At the end of the day we had time for a little chill with some relaxation.    We listened to some soft lullaby music and watched the clouds float by with our lights on the ceiling.  Another packed day !

What a great day !

Our Health Week activities were in full swing today.   We have been so busy.

We started off with an assembly where Miss Lindsay told us what was happening and how we could have fun and keep safe while showing our school values.

First we went to  in the Polbeth Community Garden, we had to find and collect  different coloured plants .

After break we had a taster session of Judo.   It was great fun !

Before lunch we had a football question and answer session from Nicole who is a football player and coach,

After lunch we made sure to brush our teeth to keep them healthy.

In the afternoon we made smoothies, not before we used pedal power to drive the smoothie blender.   Yummy !

We finished off our day with some relaxation and a snack !
