What a good first week back in school for Primary 1S. We have all enjoyed being back in school seeing our friends and getting time to play together.

In class we checked on out potatoes 🥔 that were hiding in our trays, they had grown roots! During our outdoor learning we planted our potatoes 🥔 in the soil. We will check on then every week to see how they grow.

We have enjoyed some time in the outdoor classroom, making tracks, building towers and playing in the mud kitchen.

In maths we have been learning positional language, 1st 🥇 2nd 🥈 3rd 🥉…. all the way up to 10. We had some races, with toy cars 🚗 and running 🏃 Lots of fun was had doing this.

During the week our buddies came down to spend some reading 📖 and playing sumdog. We really enjoy spending time with our buddies.

What a fantastic time we have had at cooking club this term😀 Today was the last day of cooking club and we had a Easter theme, we made chocolate nests with eggs.

Have a lovely Easter 🐣

What a busy week we have had in primary 1S.

On Tuesday we enjoyed making bird feeders with our Primary 7 buddies.  We used lots of skills mixing all the ingredients together to make them and then enjoyed walking up to the woods to put them out for the birds. Spending time with our buddies is always lots of fun.

As it was St Patrick’s day ☘️ on the 17th we learned all about his life and made lovely shamrock sun catchers. We used cutting and sticking skills.

Spring is in the air, Primary 1S have been talking about how flowers are starting to grow outside. We talked about how plants grow and what they need to grow.  In class everyone planted strawberry seeds to grow. We are going to look after them in class until they are big enough to go outside.

Fingers crossed that we manage to grow big strawberries 🍓.

Sweet week! This week we made a sweet treat, chocolate croissant 🥐.

We talked about he shape our pastry had to be cut into to made the croissant shape and all focused really well to make sure we rolled our croissants correctly.
They smelled delicious when they were cooking, and we all got to take the two we made home 🏠. We were so focused this week and keen to get them made we didn’t get as many photos 🤭

Wow what a great first trip at school Primary 1S had! We all sat very well on the bus and we managed to sing a few songs and play I 🕵️ spy.

We had lots of fun exploring the castle, first stop was the cannons! We were amazed at the size of the cannon balls.

We enjoyed looking at the crown 👑 jewels, the war memorial, the castle prison and much more.

We also participated in the animal safari where we  had lots of fun finding animals in shields and statues.

Savoury week in cooking club for our P1 group.

We made sausage rolls. Some of us found it strange touching the sausage meat but we all tried really hard. Once we got our meat into a sausage shape we wrapped it in pasty and glazed them before putting them in the oven to cook.

Some of us couldn’t resist a little nibble before we got them home.

Primary 1S had a lovely morning sharing our learning with some of our adults. This time we focused on our Maths and Numeracy skills. We completed worksheets showcasing what we could do as well as have time to play some math games, board games and online.

This was a great opportunity to introduce our adults to Sumdog and we all went home with our home learning codes.

After all this we even managed to fit in some play with younger siblings and adults.

Primary 1S have had a fun filled Book Day. We all found it super exciting coming to school in our pyjamas ☺️.

We have listened to authors read stories, made our own book covers and created our very own “potato” characters.

We also joined in the “Where’s Wally” hunt around the school with our Primary 7 Buddies.

To finish the day off we had hot chocolate and a story with our Primary 7 Buddies.

What a fantastic day celebrating books and reading 📖

What another fantastic week at cooking club. This week we were inspired by the story of “The Gingerbread Man” and made our very own Gingerbread Men.
We had lots of fun rolling the dough and cutting out our men then decorating them.

Whilst they cooked we listened to the story of The Gingerbread Man and had a sneaky sample of a shop Gingerbread Man.
