Keep up the super work Charlotte! Well done!

We also had a go at trying some Fair trade chocolate today. We talked about how it was important to look for the fair trade logo when we are shopping to make sure that people from other countries are paid a fair wage for the products they sell. 

Thank you for helping us to design and construct our castles during the Open Morning last week.  This week we have been covering them with paper mache to make them strong.  We will then paint them and send them home very soon.  We are proud of our engineering skills.  P1A 🙂

We have had a fantastic week in primary 1A. As part of our Scotland topic we have been learning about Scottish Castles. For our open morning we invited Mums, Dads, Granny’s and Grandad’s to come and help us make our own castles out of junk modelling. The Dad’s were especially enthusiastic about this! A big thank you to everyone who came along to make the open morning really super!

Struan and Charlotte also did brilliantly by being part of the winning group that entered the design a red nose day competition!

Nathan was our star of the week this week as he has been working so hard to improve in his writing. His letter formation is lovely as a result and he has been trying hard to spell words on his own!

Well done Nathan – Keep up the good work!

Have a lovely weekend! – Miss Munro 🙂

Our theme for World Book Day this year in Primary 1A was to celebrate being unique and how our differences make us special!

We read Elmer the Elephant and we talked about why Elmer might have wanted to be like all the other elephants and how they showed him that it was okay to be different and how it made him special!

We wrote about things that we thought made us special and unique and then we made our very own Elmer the Patchwork Quilt Elephants! They look fab! I will post the finished products tomorrow morning when they are all finished!

Primary 1A had some super outfits on today and it was lovely to see everyone sharing their favourite books!

Happy Thursday!

Miss Munro 🙂

Today in Primary 1 we talked about Shrove Tuesday being the beginning of the Christian festival of Lent. We talked about what type of things we could give up for lent and to celebrate we tried some yummy pancakes! Our bellies were very full by the end of the day!

Happy Pancake Day! 🙂

Primary 1As star of the week is Finn!

Finn has worked really hard in all areas of learning this week. He has tried his best in every lesson and taken pride in his work! He was also wonderfully enthusiastic during our French lesson and he didn’t hesitate to share his knowledge with Granny when she picked him up from school!

This week it was Primary 1As turn to be litter pickers in the playground during lunchtime!

Some of the girls in our class including Amy, Selena, Izzy, Emma, Indi, Phoebe, Charlotte and Lexie all did an absolutely super job of cleaning up the playground.

They gave up their own time during lunch to make sure that the playground was clean and tidy.

I couldn’t be more proud of the girls for showing such care and respect for our school!

Great job guys! 🙂

Miss Munro

Primary 1A had a lovely time celebrating happiness day today! We spent the morning talking and writing about how our body’s feel when we are happy. In the afternoon the nursery came to visit us and we showed them all of our fun number games and activities we like to do in maths.

Well done Primary 1!

World Thinking Day is celebrated on the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Scout and Guide Movement. It is a day for all Guides and Scouts to think of each other and to celebrate being part of an international movement. World Thinking Day remains one of the most important dates in the guiding calendar, and every year the theme of the event encourages members to think about the big issues affecting them and their global community. This year the theme is leadership.

On February 22nd (tomorrow), we would like to encourage all children involved in Guide and Scout organisations, such as Rainbows, to wear their uniform to celebrate this special day.

Primary 1A were learning all about Chinese New Year today. We noticed the similarities between Chinese New Year today and the new year we celebrated in January such as eating big meals with families and watching fireworks.

We talked about the Zodiac calendar and how Chinese New Year is celebrated. We read a story called Dragons in the City where we learned that families like to watch street festivals where people make big decorated dragons move around using long poles.

We had a go at making our own smaller versions of the dragons!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Miss Munro 🙂

Primary 1A’s star of the week is Alexis!

Primary 1 have all been working extra hard this week. Yesterday we listened to some poetry by Robert Burns and we wrote our very own invitations to a Burns Supper.

We also had a go at saying the Selkirk Grace that people like to say before they eat their haggis on Burns Night.

Some Folk hae meat that canna eat,

And some can eat that want it;

But we hae meat, and we can eat,

So let the Lord be Thanket!

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your haggis this evening!

Term Overview Term 3

Primary 1A have had a fantastic first week back at school!

I am so impressed with how hard they have all been working and how raring to go and full of beans they have all been since coming back to school on Monday.

I have loved having them all back in my classroom and it has been a joy to hear everything you have been getting up to over the Christmas break.

We have got a big and busy term ahead of us and we will be cramming lots of fun and exciting things in.

This we did a lot of talking about what we did in the holidays. We talked about Christmas day and we wrote thank you letters to Santa. We also talked about New Year and what that meant. To celebrate it being a new year we got very messy and made lovely new year fireworks using our hand prints!

We have also been making sure we still remember our phonics sounds from before the holidays so we played a game where we sorted lots of words into their initial sound group. I was so impressed with how well Primary 1 worked together to sound out each of the words. Very well done!

I hope you all have a lovely relaxed weekend and you do lots of things you love doing!

I will see you all bright eyed and bushy tailed on Monday morning!

Miss Munro 🙂

Primary 1A star of the week for our first week back is Tobi! Tobi has worked really hard all week on his word building and finding the numbers that go before and after up to 10.

Tobi has given super answers and ideas during all of our circle time discussion this week on being healthy and exercising, our new Scotland topic and when we talked about the stars in science!

He also spent time helping others in the class when he had finished his own work. 🙂

Well Done Tobi!

Today P1A were learning about patterns of stars called constellations.  We were finding out about The Plough.  Can you see The Plough if you look up into the sky tonight?

Primary 1A has been having loads of fun so far this week in the run up to Christmas.

We made fantastic snowmen Christmas cards with Miss Munro on Monday, and today we have been practising our dancing skills in the classroom with Mrs Munro.

Only 7 sleeps to go! 🙂
