Hi P 1D…. Wow, I thought I’d missed the turning into Primary 1… when the AM green group came for a transition visit.. Your classroom is not a classroom but a fabulous area where the boys and girls who came to see you fitted in perfectly, it was just like nursery ,but more challenging…in a amazing way.. There’s so much learning going on in a relaxed and fun way. You are all so independent, smart and you were all very welcoming to my nursery boys and girls, thank you so much for that. We can’t wait to come back and learn more about how amazing the learning is in Primary 1.. and Me ..Mrs Beattie just loved catching up and seeing you all ..😄😄😄xxx
Another busy week in P1D, thanks for the update. Anna has been wowing us with lots of space facts this week-she loves her new topic!
Hi P1D. Thanks for the update. I’ve loved hearing all about space. We loved the space themed homework task and completing a talk about ten things you’d take to space and why.
