January has gone in a flash.  It’s been a busy month, filled with fun and new learning.

A lesson that was particularly enjoyed by P5 was our narrative about a wee Scottish Mouse.  We enjoyed listening to the Robert Burns poem and added our own elements to the story.  Next week is our Scots Poetry Competition.  Finalists will be chosen on Wednesday and the performance will be Friday.  Have a great weekend.

Primary 1 have had lots of fun learning this week.

We have been learning about 🧊 ice. How we can make ice, what we use ice for, how ice is made outside 🥶 and how to melt ice 🧊. To start with we made ice then put it in hot water, the ice melted before break time. The next time we put the ice 🧊 in very cold water and  the ice lasted until after lunch time! We are going to do more experiments with ice next week.

During our own time some of us decided to be scientists 🧑‍🔬 mixing potions together  🧪 🧫 . We had lots of fun exploring how different colours mix and what happens when we add a dry mixture.

During topic work we were learning all about Scotlands national animal, the unicorn 🦄. We learned what the worth mythical means and created our own unicorn coat of arms.

All of Primary 1 took home a Credit union letter, to start saving with the school and to kick start it the school will add £1 to our accounts. When you open an account you get a bank book and a piggy 🐷 bank. Those who brought in their forms enjoyed going up to the school bank to deposit their money.

During outdoor learning we spent time in the outdoor classroom learning some outdoor games and building.

On Wednesday we all attended out pupil voice committee groups where we are helping to be leaders in the school.

Have a lovely ☺️ weekend!
