What an exciting week in Primary 1, we have had special visitors this week, Biscuit and Muffin, the guinea pigs from the nursery. Some of our friends from nursery brought the guinea pigs over and we go to play together.

We got to look after Biscuit and Muffin all week, we had to make their breakfast, make sure they have hay  and clean water. We enjoyed cuddles with them.

We enjoyed showing our friends our classroom.

On Tuesday we received a letter from a magic dragon from Fairytale land, he asked us to help save Fairyland by reading fairytale stories, he also asked us to make  fairyland corner in our class. We have started by making a giant beanstalk! Our Primary 7 buddies read us stories and we made Jack and  a giant together for our beanstalk.

This week we also enjoyed sometime outdoors in the school garden and the trim trail. In the garden we did some weeding and planted some flower seeds and we also watered the plants that we planted last time.

On Friday we walked up to the nursery to take Biscuit and Muffin home. We were very careful taking all there things back. We enjoyed playing with our friends in the nursery.

Have a lovely weekend.

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.
