Primary one had their first class trip this week, we set off to watch the Snow White Pantomime. This was super exciting, we had to travel together on the bus 🚌 and we took our snacks with us. The show was great, a little scary at times, but we all enjoyed joining in.

On Wednesday we had Christmas 🎄 dinner and Christmas jumper day in school.

On Friday we performed our Christmas Nativity show, we are all so proud of ourselves and we hope all the grown ups enjoyed it as much as we did.

Our elf has been up to lots of fun and some mischief this week, as well as spying on us for Santa! We are really enjoying having Cookie Crumble as part of our class.

Have a great weekend 😀

Wow what an exciting time in Primary 1, Santa 🎅🏻 has sent one of his elf’s to our classroom. He brought us a Christmas tree 🎄 all the way from the North Pole and left us some things to decorate it with.

It’s sweet week! We made chocolate filled croissants 🥐.

We had had to use cutting skills for today’s cooking 🧑‍🍳 we cut the pastry into triangles and then rolled our chocolate 🍫 in the pastry 🥐. We had to paint them with milk before we cooked them.

A adult had to put them in the oven and set the timer. We could smell them cooking, they smelled delicious.

This week we started of by learning all about the Jubilee 2025 and what it means to be Pilgrims of Hope!

We set off on a pilgrimage around the school looking for signs of our faith.

Pledge Cards were also created as we thought about what we could do to be Pilgrims of Hope.

During outdoor learning we painted with mud! We had never painted with mud before and it was lots of fun.

Lots of us brought in our favourite toy or a poster of our favourite toy to complete our class talks. We all did very well.

And on Friday we got to join in the school Christmas 🎄  Fair.

Eveyone is excited that next week is December. Have a lovely weekend.

It was savoury week in cooking club and everyone had voted to make pizza 🍕

We had to spread the sauce on then add the cheese 🧀 and toppings. After all the toppings were on we had to put them in the oven, only adults are allowed to use the cooker but we set the timer.⏱️

While the pizzas 🍕 were cooking we cleaned up all our tools. Some of us wanted to eat them straight away and some wanted to take them home.

Primary 1 kicked off book week listening to some authors read their books aloud. We chose the books that were included in our book bags.

On Monday afternoon we had a book bag gifting party 🎉 in class. Some parents came along and we shared biscuits and hot chocolate ☕️ with marshmallows. We looked inside our book bags and created our very own pet star ⭐ after we listened to the story “My Pet Star”.

On Tuesday, as well as listening to story “One Goose two Moose” we participated in the school book swap. Many of us had handed books in to swap and we all loved going to the book swap and brining one, two or three books home. Happy reading 📖.

On Wednesday we joined a whole school reading river. Our buddies joined us and helped us to read a story, the river was very long.

On Thursday we wrote book reviews and made potato 🥔 characters. We enjoyed picking a character and trying to make our potato look like it.

Friday was dress as a book character or in pjs this was lots of fun.

What a fantastic first week of cooking club!

During Outdoor learning we went up to the local woodland area with our clipboards to complete a treasure hunt. We all really enjoy exploring the woodland area.

Throughout the week we have been practicing our Christmas Nativity show, this is our first time on the stage performing and we are all doing very well. If we have a speaking part it would be really good to practice our words at home.

As we have our first school Christmas 🎄 fair coming up we have been working like Santa’s elf’s and making some unique things to sell.

The iPads are very popular in class and we are all becoming very independent at putting in the code and accessing Sumdog and games, we all found this very tricky to start with.
