Archie the archaeologist has paid us another visit and left behind a very special egg!  Inside was a cute, cuddly, fluffy green baby dinosaur!  We decided to call him Dino and he is taking it in turns to go home with P1M children at the end of each school day.  We have learned lots about Dinosaurs this week and know that the word dinosaur means ‘terrible lizard.’  Some of the boys in primary 1 know lots of facts and information about Dinosaurs and really are ‘Dinosaur Experts’ already!  They are helping Mrs McKay and Mrs Sutherland pronounce dinosaur names correctly and sharing their knowledge with everyone in P1.

Carefully taking the dinosaur egg to show P1S what was discovered in P1M after lunch!

The girls were sure they heard something moving about inside the egg and were listening carefully.

We went on a dinosaur hunt and managed to find all of the dinosaur pictures that were hidden in the playground-great detective work P1!

This week we decided to take our reward time outside.  P1M and P1S children all gave a huge thumbs up when asked if they had enjoyed being outside and are keen to go outside next week again.

The children in Primary 1 have learned lots about Scotland through our Scottish topic.  We have learned a poem called ‘Sair Teeth’ and had a competition in class where each child had the opportunity to recite the poem, Mrs Sutherland and Mrs McKay were very impressed and had great difficulty choosing winners!  We have enjoyed finding out about different places in Scotland using the Hamish McHaggis stories.  We created our own ‘Whirry Bang’ cars in the classrooms and worked well as a group to explain how our Whirry Bangs were made and why we had selected the items used.
