In Primary one this week we kicked off the week learning why we have Pancake Tuesday and what it signifies. We then enjoyed making pancakes, we had to follow the recipe and work as a team, using lots of Meta skills and as always having fun!

Following learning about Pancake Tuesday we moved on to Ash Wednesday to prepare us for attending the whole school mass. We have learned that Ash Wednesday signals the start of Lent. We were all very respectful during mass. We are going to think about our Lent promises and create these next week .

During the week we also learned all about Luna New Year.  We learned that almost all of us were born it he year of the rat 🐀 and then the year of the ox 🐂.  2026 marks the year of the Fire Horse 🐴. We used our learning about about Luna New Year to create beautiful lanterns 🏮.

As a special treat we had a theatre experience in school, Treasure Island. We were all wonderful audience members showing great listening skills and joining in respectfully.

Have a lovely weekend.

Primary 1 kicked of the week with some buddy time, our buddies read us a story that we picked and then we had some time to play together. They then helped us with our Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 songs for the school assembly.

As part of our RE this week we learned all about St Valentine 💘 We talked about what we know already, love hearts, chocolates and what we see in the shops. We then learned why it is a special day about love and made cards for someone we love.

We also created beautiful tie dye effect love hearts during our art session, we are all very pleased with how they have turned out. We were surprised when we were told we were going to spray our artwork with water and had some good predictions at what would happen, we trusted the process and are all very proud.

All of Primary 1 took part in singing our Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 songs to the whole school, we sang Wee Willie Winkie and You Canny Shove Your Granny Aff the Bus 🚌.

We hope you have a lovey holiday 😀

Primary 1 have had lots of fun learning this week.

We have been learning about 🧊 ice. How we can make ice, what we use ice for, how ice is made outside 🥶 and how to melt ice 🧊. To start with we made ice then put it in hot water, the ice melted before break time. The next time we put the ice 🧊 in very cold water and  the ice lasted until after lunch time! We are going to do more experiments with ice next week.

During our own time some of us decided to be scientists 🧑‍🔬 mixing potions together  🧪 🧫 . We had lots of fun exploring how different colours mix and what happens when we add a dry mixture.

During topic work we were learning all about Scotlands national animal, the unicorn 🦄. We learned what the worth mythical means and created our own unicorn coat of arms.

All of Primary 1 took home a Credit union letter, to start saving with the school and to kick start it the school will add £1 to our accounts. When you open an account you get a bank book and a piggy 🐷 bank. Those who brought in their forms enjoyed going up to the school bank to deposit their money.

During outdoor learning we spent time in the outdoor classroom learning some outdoor games and building.

On Wednesday we all attended out pupil voice committee groups where we are helping to be leaders in the school.

Have a lovely ☺️ weekend!

Another fun filled learning week in Primary 1.

We have found out lots of geographical facts about Scotland – gaining an understanding of where it is in the world and where we live in Scotland.

We are also learning some Scots songs and poems.

In outdoor learning this week we were looking for signs of nature around the school grounds. We collected lots of interesting things to bring back to class and  examine.

In RE we learned all about the Baptism of Jesus and talked about how some of us have been Baptised (but not in a river). We talked about what we would have worn to our own Baptism and if we had been a guest at any other one what we remembered.

In PE we are learning gymnastics 🤸 we are learning how to be safe while moving our bodies in different ways.

Have a great weekend 😀

Primary 1 was straight back to super learning.
in Outdoor learning we had a fun scavenger hunt in the school garden.

We started our new Topic this week, Scotland. We thought about what we know about Scotland and what we would like to know, we are excited to learn new things.

In RE we learned all about the Epiphany and participated respectfully in our whole school mass.

We had lots of fun learning ordinal numbers, we played races and learned the language for 1st 🥇 to 10th place.

As it was a whole New Year we celebrated this by making New Year resolutions and decorating a 2026 poster.

Have a lovey weekend 😀

We all had lots of fun at our first school Christmas 🎄 party.

A special visitor came to our party and gave us all a gift 🎁

The Primary 5,6 and 7 put on a Christmas 🎄 Concert for us, we were a very respectful audience and enjoyed listening to them sing.

We also got to enjoy some time in the sensory room this week which was lots of fun, we all decided we would like to go back again after the holidays.

During literacy we wrote letters to Santa 🎅🏻 we thought about how old we were and what we had already asked Santa for.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas 🎄 and look forward to lots of learning in the new year 🎆

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.
