With the weather improving Primary 1 have been enjoying some time outdoors.
During outdoor learning we had to measure different things outside. We worked with partners to completed this and enjoyed being up in the woodland area.

In our PE sessions as well as enjoying our equipment session we have been practicing outside for sports day coming up. Everyone is excited to be taking part in sports day.

In RE this week we learned the Story of the Good Shepherd and discussed how God is our Shepherd and he tries to guide us safely.

On Thursday we went a walk up to the nursery to visit our friends. Lots of us were talking about our time at nursery and how we missed our friends. This gave us the opportunity to talk about how some of these friends will be coming to school soon and we will be moving to Primary 2. We had a lovely time and decided we would like to go back again.

On Friday we enjoyed the Primary 5 assembly about oceans, we found this very interesting as we have been learning about oceans and creatures that live in them.

We hope everyone has a lovely long weekend 😉 hopefully Mr Sun ☀️ will stay out.

This week we have enjoyed having some sunshine ☀️.

During outdoor learning we got out to check on the seeds we planted and collected bugs 🐛 We were very good at identifying different types of bugs 🐞 and respectful at putting them back where we found them. Some  of us were a little frightened to catch the bugs 🐛 but we worked as a team. We had to use trowels to find the bugs in the earth.

In topic work we have been learning that there are lots and lots of different creatures in the sea 🌊 and this week we focused on naming some of them. We all did very well at matching the creatures to their names.

We used good coordination skills to catch fish 🐟 with our magnetic fishing rods and enjoyed catching the fish eggs with the fishing net.

As it is spring time some of us made spring flower hand prints, we have discussed how in springtime flowers start to grow and the weather gets a bit better.  When the weather is nice we get to go out to the back playground at lunchtime, we all enjoy exploring the playground.

We have also enjoyed using the light up boards for independent writing.

Have a lovely weekend.

Primary 1 settled straight back into learning after our Easter Holidays. Everyone has showed the school values and enjoyed being back together with our friends.

In number work we have been learning about sharing and making equal groups. We have shared out different items with each other making sure everyone had an equal amount, this makes it fair. To stretch our learning we then worked on adding equal groups together. As a challenge Primary 1 requested to learn how to count in 2’s.

We have enjoyed learning more fun facts about sea creatures, this week we learned that when a group of fish swim together we call that a school of fish.

During art we made water colour sea scenes and added tropical fish to them, We were focusing on our brush stroke work making them look like 🌊 waves. We talked lots about what the sea looks like , if is was smooth or wavy and if it was all the one colour. After our fish dried we added details to them and put them on our ocean scenes.

Have a lovely weekend 😀

We have had fun learning week in Primary 1.

For outdoor learning we had a lovely walk to the park, having lots of fun together working on our motor skills.

We were all delight to take our sunflowers 🌻 home this week, we are looking forward to seeing how big they grow.

On Friday we decorated real eggs 🥚. We have learned where eggs come from  🐓 and that they are very delicate. Miss Stenhouse boiled them so they were a bit stronger.

We hope you have a lovely Easter holiday.

Savoury week and we made toasties. We all enjoyed picking our toppings and  tasting them once cooked.

Primary 1 have been learning about the oceans and different creatures that live in it. This week we used this to create beautiful ocean scene pictures. We used different techniques to create layers on our pictures. We are all proud of our work and had lots of fun making them.

During RE this week as well as having a focus on lent and being forgiving like Jesus, we also learned about St Partrick. We created trinity shamrocks ☘️ to represent The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. We had to use lots of fine motor skills to create these.

During outdoor learning this week we were out in the garden starting our vegetable teepee. We had to carefully fill the planters with soil and sick a big bamboo stick in each one. Miss Stenhouse then tied them together before we planted our seeds. We have planted cucumber and bean seeds as they like to grow tall.

Have a lovely weekend 😀

During our outdoor learning in Primary 1 we planted trees 🌳 In class we have been learning about living things and the importance of plants and trees in the world. 🌍 This was a good opportunity for us to plant trees and watch them grow as we grow in school.

This week we decided to change our play area from a hairdressers to a puppet show. We have created posters and 🎫 tickets for our show, thinking of how much we should charge for our tickets. We have had lots of fun using or imagination  to create shows for our friends.

We have found it lots of fun practicing French words and learning facts about France 🇫🇷 we took time to create French flags and compared them to the Scottish flag.

As we approach Easter we have been thinking about what that means in the Church calendar and the meaning behind the Easter celebrations.

We have also been thinking about the change in seasons and how we know that spring is her, new flowers, baby chicks 🐤 and  lambs 🐑 .

We have had fun playing with Spring materials.

Shapes have been a big hit in Primary 1 and we have been learning lots about 2D and 3D shapes.

Have a lovely weekend 😊

It was savoury week in cooking 🧑‍🍳 club this week and we made sausage rolls.

We had to be very careful using meat, we all did very well following the instructions .

Some of us decided that we usually don’t eat sausage rolls but we will try them because we made them 😊
