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.

As Halloween is approaching we have been reading spooky stories and making potions 🧪 in class. We all found this lots of fun, think of names for our potions and what they would do.

We also created som leaf 🍁 art in class, we created Autumn characters with the leafs.

On Friday we enjoyed coming to school dressed up for our Halloween 🎃 Party. It was lots of fun.

Pumpkin 🎃 play in primary 1. Primary 1 were given a pumpkin to explore this week. We all talked about when we had seen one before, if anyone had tasted and the smell of them.

We had lots of fun scooping out the inside and discovering 🌱 seeds, we carefully washed them at sat them out to dry. The class decided that they would like to try to grow their own pumpkins…..watch this space.
The pumpkin was then made into a 🎃 Jack-o-lantern and then chopped up for soup. Some of us used the top of it to practice our screwing skills.

We had a lovely outdoor session this week, enjoying the Autumn 🍂 sunshine we headed to the park.

During the week we also got to participate in our committee groups, we did very well moving round the school to other classrooms and working with children from across the school to make important committee decisions.

On Friday we participated in mass with the whole school. We were all very respectful and listened really well to Father and the Primary 7’s.

Have a lovely holiday 😀

This week in Primary 1 we started our topic, Families. We thought about our own families and drew pictures to represent them. Lots of discussions we had about different types of families.

After  learning about the season of Autumn we read the story Pumpkin Soup and have been getting creative with materials to make pretend soup in class.
On Friday we got to vote for House Captains, we had to go up to the Primary 7 classroom to vote. We were all very sensible.

As we were upstairs in the school we took the opportunity to visit some of the other spaces and classrooms in the school, it was lots of fun.

Have a lovely weekend everyone 🥰

What a very messy afternoon we had at cooking club today!

We melted chocolate and made chocolate covered apples and bananas and decorated them with sprinkles 🍫 🍎 🍌 it was lots of fun and very messy! Once we decorated our apples and bananas we then got to dip marshmallows into the melted chocolate 🍫 it was very yummy and sticky.

Some of us ate all our goodies but some of us have them in the fridge to take home tomorrow.

We are looking forward to the next block of cooking club already 😀

We had lots of fun with numbers this week, lots of games and counting. We even managed to use the vegetables we collected from the garden to make a chart and practice counting.

On Friday we had the chance to come to breakfast club with our adults. We got to choose lots of tasty things and sit with our family and friends.

The adults then got to come into our class to to see us doing literacy work. We did our Free Writing Friday, and we showed our grown ups or writing and sounds jitters.

We loved showing our adults our classroom and our wonderful work.
