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 😀
