November Update from Primary 1

Amy Bain

We continue to have lots of fun learning in P1.

Here is a little photo update as we cannot fit all the photos of our learning on to our assembly slide each week.

Literacy

We are enjoying learning our letters and sounds. It was great fun testing out our kites in the sand pit one morning. It is also Book Week Scotland and we have been listening to the stories in our packs and doing some activities in school on them. We designed new jumpers for Brenda in “Brenda is a Sheep” and made some grass recipes from the story. We hope that she would like them!

The second book is called “My First book of birds” and we have been learning about some of the birds we might see in our gardens. We thought it would be fun to make a giant bird’s nest with the pallets and leaves in the school garden. We had lots of fun gathering the materials and working as a team to make a nest for everyone to fit in !

Our last few photos from this update show Primary 1 learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We listened to a story and then made our own salt dough Diwa Lamps. We learned about measuring the flour, salt and water to make the dough. We will paint and decorate them and then take them home to show our families. We also took some time to draw some Rangoli patterns on the ground outside. Hindu families do this outside their front doors to celebrate Diwali.
