Gladigator Visit

A special person visited primary 1 recently! Gladigator visited primary 1a and primary 1b to talk to us about oral health.
Although we brush our teeth in class everyday, Gladigator wanted to remind us why brushing our teeth is important. Gladigator showed us the correct technique for brushing.
At the end of our talk, our class got the chance to play on the bouncy runway that Gladigator had brought with him - it was fantastic fun!

Homecoming Week

Kirklandneuk Primary School celebrated Scotland's Year of Homecoming recently, and every class was involved. Primary 1a took part in Scottish food tasting and Scottish games. We also listened to Scottish stories and tried to write using Scottish words. Our class even sang Scottish songs and learned the Gaygordons - a Scottish dance! We had a great week!

Toys Topic

Primary 1 have been learning all about toys this term. We have been looking at how toys are made, where the materials come from and how they are sold.
Miss McCabe has also shown us some old fashioned toys and we have had the chance to play with toys from the past. As well as learning about toys, we have also been making toys, such as spinners and puppets!
Our class now has a toy shop that we can use at active maths time!

Eco School Work

We have had a busy time lately! Primary 1 have been helping Mrs Gray and our school's Eco-Committee by making bird feeders. It will be lovely to see all the birds visiting our playground in the coming winter months.
Our class also helped our primary 7 buddies by going with them on a litter pick in the school grounds.

Seasonal Science!

Our class took learning outside recently! Miss McCabe took primary 1 outside to learn about the seasonal changes taking place all around us.
It is Autumn, so we found lots of interesting things to look at and discuss. We were fascinated by the many different colours of leaves and the changes in the trees! Miss McCabe told us all about what happens to the environment before the winter comes.
We are going to use some of the natural objects we found to create some seasonal artwork!

Halloween Disco

This week, primary one attended their first ever after school disco! The discos were for Halloween - don't our costumes look great?!

New Topic

Our topic this term is Toys. Primary 1, with Miss McCabe's help, created a Learning Plan for the topic. This will help us learn about things we want to know about, as well as showing Miss McCabe what we know already.
The first task we had was to decide on our favourite toy. We had to show this as a group drawing. Our groups created a poster called a 'placemat'. We had to work as a team, listen to each other and remember our group roles. Some of our primary 7 buddies came down to give us some help.
Miss McCabe and Mrs O'Brien were very impressed with how well we worked together!
