We had another amazing group of P1 pupils delivering their class talks today.  All 4 children were very well prepared and had brought in their favourite fairytale and had made a fantastic poster to support their talk. Macie ‘s favourite was Dumbo, Evan loves Toy Story, Ariana’s favourite story is the Plum Fairy and  Grace read Rapunzel to us. Well done everyone.

To celebrate Numeracy Day we went outside to see that maths and numeracy can be fun. We realised that we use numbers regularly when we are playing. We counted how many passes we could make with the ball before dropping it. We drew shapes on the ground using chalk. We wrote numbers, some of us wrote all the way up to 40.  We also played hopscotch where we had to read numbers and count.

Primary 1 have had a fantastic start to Health week.
We started the morning with smoothies. We chopped the different fruit and added it to the blender. This wasn’t just any normal blender. We had to cycle to make the blender work. It was quite tough but we managed it and the smoothies were delicious.
Today we also had a fantastic session with Destination Judo.  We worked in pairs on the mat trying to hold each other and trying to escape. It was great fun.
The day was ended cheering on the staff V the P6/7 pupils during a game of netball. We loved watching our buddies and teachers playing against each other.

We loved our first session of outdoor learning with Mr Lockhart. We had fun exploring the woodland area. Some of us were climbing trees, hunting for pine cones, looking for sticks and swinging on the rope swing. Mr Lockhart read us a story all about a dragon. We loved it and can’t wait for our next session.

Welcome back to all our P1 stars. We are delighted to see everyone back and ready to learn.  What a great first week we have had.
in maths we are learning to tell the time. We made our own paper plate clocks which we used to show different times. We really enjoyed playing time games on the interactive board and working with our talk partners to read o’clock and half past.

We made the most of the Spring sunny weather we had on Tuesday and spent some time in the afternoon at the park. We played on the seesaw, swings and climbing frames. Some of us had fun rolling down the hill.

We had a very exciting event happen in class. A dragon visited the class and left a glitter trail leading to a letter. The letter explained that his Fairyland had disappeared and there is nowhere for the Fairytale characters to live. He asked us to make a Fairyland in our classroom. We are really excited to help. We read Jack and the Beanstalk and decided to make a beanstalk in our classroom for Jack. We also drew and painted Jack, the giant and a cow to add to our display.
