Primary 1 have been learning that the season has now changed to Autumn 🍂. We talked about the changes we can see 👀 hear 👂 and smell 👃 as the weather gets colder.

For outdoor learning we had a lovely walk up to a local woodland area where we explored the trees 🌳 and shrubs. We talked about staying safe in a different area and had lots of fun.

We are all doing very well in progressing through our sounds and are starting to blend sounds together to make words. The more we practice these the easier it will be to read and write. All children have been sent home with a set of sounds.

On Friday we enjoyed the “Big Breakfast”  and “Sharing Our Learning “. Tasting different food at breakfast club with our friends and family . After breakfast it was great to show the adults our amazing work in class.

Have a lovely weekend 😀

This week as we are a Eco school it was our first turn at litter picking to keep our playground clean.

At outdoor learning we went on a bird scavenger hunt. We are learning to identify different birds and we had lots of fun doing this.

We are all enjoying writing ✍️ and have been doing this independently using free play time as well.

Primary 1 are becoming very confident at recognising, counting, making and writing numbers.

Have a lovely weekend.

Wow another busy week in Primary 1.

in outdoor learning this week we worked with Miss Nelson to create clay snails. We talk about if we had saw them before, where we could find them and what they looked like before making our very own snails.

In number work we are focusing on forming our numbers as well as counting and making numbers. We have enjoyed playing lots of maths games.

We have been learning all about families, that all families are different and equally special. Everyone enjoyed talking about their own family and we made beautiful representations of our families for the class wall.

On Friday we made slime, this was lots of fun 🤩 We  decided that is would be a good place for some dinosaurs 🦕 to live.

Have a lovely weekend.

Another amazing week completed in Primary 1😊 Miss Stenhouse is very proud of all the children and their amazing work!

Primary 1 have been learning about how to be a good leader through Leader in Me. This week we discussed how to be proactive and how this connects to our school values. We will be learning all 7 habits of happy kids through Leader in Me and each week someone will be selected for a class certificate.

To start with we created our own Leader in Me tree for our classroom to remind us that we can all be leaders. We will be working on Stop ✋ Think 💭 and make Good Choices👍🏻

We have been creating a charter for our outdoor learning and exploring the outdoor learning areas at the school. We used our hand prints to sign our Outdoor Learning Charter.

At the Trim Trail we were working on our balance and coordination skills.

In PE we have been exploring different equipment that we will be using. This week we have forced on throwing and catching.

We hope you have a lovely weekend ☺️

We have a fantastic week in Primary 1!

Everyone has done fantastic work during our phonics lessons. In Primary 1 we will be learning a new sound every day which it lots of work but all the boys and girls have been fantastic. We use Read Write in to help us learn our sounds.

We are not only learning how to say the sounds but write ✍️ them as well, Miss Stenhouse is so proud of everyone.

In number work we are beginning to learn all about different numbers, how to build then, count them, make them and write them.

All the boys and girls are showing amazing concentration.

Throughout the day we all enjoy exploring the toys and playing with our friends.

Have a lovely weekend.

Wow 🤩 what an amazing first week in Primary 1!
All the boys and girls  have settled in well to school and are gaining confidence when going for break and lunch with the other boys and girls.

We have been learning our school values and that we all have rights. We all used our finger prints and hand prints to agree to try our best to show our school values, and remind us of our rights.

We are all looking forward to lots of learning and playing this year.

Well what an amazing year we had together 😀 and we are all looking forward to being Primary 2’s in August 🎉

This week we have enjoyed a whole school water fight, a chance to celebrate mass in the church, Primary 7 leavers assembly, class party and so much more! I think it’s safe to say we are ready to have a break and recharge for the new school year!

We should all be super proud of everything we have achieved this year, Miss Stenhouse and Mrs Kennedy  are definitely proud of everyone .

We would like to wish our Primary 7 buddies the best of luck at high school, we have enjoyed your friendship this year, it has made our first year of school even better 😀
