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 🐣

We have enjoyed the final week of fundraising activities.  Spot the super serious faces at our Bunny Bingo!  Well done to Jorja for scooping up not one, but two prizes!

We enjoyed the range of talents on display at St. Mary’s got Talent.  Well done to all the brave contestants.

Happy Easter! Stay safe and see you in two weeks.

A wee couscous salad was created in health and wellbeing this week.  The chopping skills on display were fantastic.  We hope you enjoyed our creation!  We have been covering the following outcomes in the curriculum:

I enjoy eating a diversity of foods in a range of social situations.  HWB 1-29a

By investigating the range of foods available I can discuss how they contribute to a healthy diet.  HWB 1-30a

I experience a sense of enjoyment and achievement when preparing simple healthy foods and drinks.  HWB 1-30b

I am becoming more aware of how cleanliness, hygiene and safety can affect health and wellbeing and I apply this knowledge in my everyday routines such as taking care of my teeth.  HWB 1-33a

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 🍓.
