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.

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.
