In  Primary one this week we have been learning all about firework 🎆 safety. We used bonfire 🔥 night to inspire our writing for the week, we talked lots about what fireworks look, sound and smell like. After our discussions we drew pictures of fireworks and wrote a sentence.

We also used fireworks to inspire our art work this week, we created beautiful fireworks in the night sky art using paint and forks!

During RE 🙏 we learned all about All Saints and All Souls’ Day. We found it very interesting learning about different saints and how God calls us all to be good.

Everyone in class voted to change a play area to a pizza shop! We made shop posters and decided how much we would charge people for our pizzas. We also had to make pizza dough and the toppings for the pizzas. 🍕 We have had lots of fun making and selling pizzas this week.

For outdoor learning this week we enjoyed some time in the outdoor classroom, we built towers and bridges together as well as having time to explore other toys.

On Friday we celebrated mass together with the whole school and members of the parish. We were all very respectful during the mass.

Have a lovely weekend everyone 😀

An action packed week has been enjoyed in Tay class.

We have enjoyed playing catch on the Kick Pitch and have built towers in the Outdoor Classroom where we worked well together.

In class we have created squirrel tails in our Autumn Art class and matching the heads and tails of safari animals in our learning.

We have also worked with colours and monster pictures in learning how to recognise colour and parts of the monsters’ bodies.

We have had great fun in P.E. and donned our waterproofs to enjoy time outside on the Trim Trail.

We also enjoyed a sensory experience with jelly – lots of messy, tasty, fun!

We’ve had a fantastic few weeks full of hands-on learning, sensory exploration, and Halloween celebrations!

✨ Sensory Play and Literacy

Our learners have been enjoying foam play while exploring the sounds ‘m’ and ‘a’. The soft, bubbly texture made it fun to form letters, trace shapes, and listen for the sounds in words. Sensory play helps our pupils engage with learning in a calm, enjoyable way — and there were lots of smiles and messy hands!

🔺 Shapes in Numeracy

In maths, we’ve been practising recognising and naming shapes using concrete materials such as blocks, puzzles, and sorting toys. The children loved building towers, matching shapes, and discovering which ones roll or stack. These activities help develop early numeracy skills while keeping learning active and playful.

🌳 Outdoor and Sensory Movement

We’ve also spent time in the outdoor area and sensory room, giving learners opportunities to move, regulate, and explore different textures and sounds. Outdoor P.E. sessions have been full of energy and laughter, while the sensory room offered a peaceful space for calm time afterwards.

🎃 Halloween Fun!

To finish off the week last week, we celebrated with our Halloween parties — and they were a huge success! Everyone enjoyed dressing up, dancing, and joining in with spooky-themed games and sensory activities. It was a wonderful way to bring integrate classes together and celebrate in a fun, inclusive way.

We’re so proud of how engaged and happy our learners have been — it’s been a brilliant balance of fun, movement, and learning!

Lovely to see everyone back after the October holiday.  We’ve had a fun week… we celebrated ‘M’s’ Birthday with some treats and this delicious cake that was sent in from ‘M’s’ parents!  Thank you to them again.  We also had some Halloween fun.  Many of us enjoyed Halloween PE and the Halloween party followed by some tasty treats.

It has been a busy first week back in P5.  We have attended our first committee of the school year where we have the opportunity to share our views and opinions about our experiences at St Mary’s.

We completed a writing assessment on information reports.  Look at that concentration!

We attended our first upper school Halloween party.  It was enjoyed by all.  There were some cracking dance moves on display!  I apologise for the picture quality being poor.

A Spooktacular Week in Primary 1

1 Comment

Primary 1 kicked of the week with potion making, mixing, smelling and feeling different sents and textures to make our own spooky potions.

In art, inspired by the book “Spider” we learned lots of spider facts and made spider 🕷️ pictures with stamps we made.

On Wednesday we participated in our first pupil voice committee groups, we all enjoyed working with different groups of children from across the whole school.

At our outdoor learning session this week we walked up to the local woodland area and made wands from nature.

During the week some of us enjoyed making pumpkin 🎃 stamp pictures using apples 🍎.

Keeping with the Halloween 🎃 theme we used it for our science 🧪 we turned a solid to liquid and back to solid making a spooky 👻 jelly potion, we are looking forward to eating them .

On Friday we had a Halloween 🎃 party. We played lots of games, danced, and had a costume competition, it was lots of fun. Well done to everyone who took part, everyone looked very scary .

Have a lovely weekend.

Have a lovely weekend.

Welcome back to the Tales of Tay!

We have enjoyed meeting up again after our well-earned break. We had such a busy start to our first year at St Mary’s and have continued in the same vein this week!

We have wellied-up and enjoyed Trim Trail increasingly muddy fun! Songs and personalised learning have focused minds keenly in our Literacy and  Numeracy and we have had great fun with flour!

We have read, drawn, worked out puzzles, matched pairs, listened to initial sounds, played in the mud and the sand, made Autumn Art leaf pictures, and completed jigsaws! All in all, a busy week 1!
