Last term our topic was toys.  As part of this topic we completed a homework challenge to make our own toys.

Look at our fabulous inventions!

In writing we are learning to write imaginative stories.  Last week we created our own stories about building a snowman that came alive!

What fun we had making up exciting stories!

Using this theme we created our own pictures of a snowman using finger painting.

We have not completed them yet, however here’s a peek at some so far!

We have been learning all about adding.

We have been practising adding 2 groups of things together.  We have been practising our counting on strategy too.  We know that this can help us get the answer faster!

We have been making addition colouring pictures and we have created butterflies with number stories. These activities were great fun!

Primary 1a have been looking at tartan patterns and learning about how some tartans help identify a family name.

We looked at the lines and the colours in a range of tartans then we created our own using rollers and paint.  Some of the class also created patterns of lines using a paper weaving technique.

Check out our kilts!

A huge well done to all the pupils who took part in the Burn’s Celebration today.  The singing, dancing and poetry recitals were fabulous.  A special mention goes to Mrs Baird from the Nursery who piped in all guests as they were arriving and also piped in the haggis.
