Primary 1 got our festive week off to a great start with our Christmas 🎄 party. We played games, had party food and even got a visit from Santa 🎅🏻

We baked some Christmas 🎄 cookies 🍪 in class, this was very messy but so much fun!
We had to follow the instructions carefully and use lots of skills.

On Thursday we enjoyed watching the Primary 4 to 7 Christmas 🎄 concert. We all really enjoyed the performance.

Throughout December our Elf  has brought us lots of fun and today he confirmed we are all on the Good List. Sparkles is away back to the North Pole.

From all of Primary 1 we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 .

Another busy week in Primary 1.

It is Catholic Education week and we have been learning about this years theme :

“Pilgrims of Hope”

We started our class talks this week in class and we all did very well.

We had another great session with our Primary 7 buddies, using the potato characters we made last week as inspiration we created comic strips together.

On Friday those of us who brought in our bank letter got to put our money into our account and collect our piggy 🐷 bank. Remember the school are paying £1 for every child so send your form back.

We have all worked very had on our Christmas 🎄 enterprise and are looking forward to seeing everyone at the school fair tomorrow.

What a fun week in Primary 1 have had enjoying book week…

On Monday we participated in the school book swap. We got to choose a book to take home!

Throughout the week we have enjoyed lots of stop 🛑 drop and read  sessions. It was exciting waiting on the random bell.

After reading one of our book bag books, 10 Dogs, we decided we wanted to find out how many people in the school had a pet dog! We then decided that we wanted to collect information on how many people had pets in the school, not just dogs. Our P7 buddies helped us go round the school and collect the information.

We have also taken part in the river of reading, again our buddies helped us with this whole school activity. All the children had a book to read and we created a very long river, it was lots of fun.

On Wednesday we had a Book Bag 🎉 party, grown ups were invited into school and we were gifted our book bags to take home. The bag looks great and we couldn’t wait to get a look inside at all the books.

On Thursday we made dens and built tents outside for our outdoor learning, we read our books outside and had some hot chocolate ☕️. Later on we made book characters from potatoes 🥔 we have enjoyed reading Supertato and this inspired us.

Friday was pyjamas day in school, it was exciting to come to school in our pyjamas 😀 We also had special visitors, Biscuit and Muffin, the nursery guinea pigs. Those that wanted to were very gentle holding them.

Oh what an exciting and busy learning week we have had! Have a lovely weekend 😀

On Monday we learned about Remembrance Day, we talk about why it was important to remember the soldiers. All of primary 1 were respectful during the two minutes silence and then we created our own popes which are on the wall to remind us.

On Tuesday we had a great session with our Primary 7 buddies. During this time we completed a STEM challenge and with the help of our buddies we created a STEM  planet each. We got to choose the materials we wanted to creat our planets. Spending time with our buddies was great fun. Once we completed our planet 🪐 we had time to read a book with our buddy.

We were all super proud of a member of our class who won 🥇 medals at at gymnastics competition 🌟

On Friday we did some more work to our Christmas 🎄 enterprise project .

In Primary 1 this week we learned about bonfire 🔥 night. We used different materials to create a bonfire landscape picture, thinking about times we have saw fireworks before and what they look like as well as the sound. I think you will agree that we did a fantastic job.

We also got started on our Christmas 🎄 enterprise activity….we will keep it a surprise for you all 😉 Lots of fun was had during the first step of making it, we hope you are going to love them.

During number work we have started making number stories, we have all been working very hard learning the meaning of the symbols + =. In our class we have created a number bond to 10 tree to help us.

We have been practicing our first 25 common word in class and some children can now read all 25 words 🥳 Super work🥳we are so proud.
