Week Five

Week Four

We are going to be celebrating St. Andrew's Day next Friday 28th November. It is already a Dress Down Day but the children and staff have been asked to wear some tartan, if they can.

We were learning Auld Lang Syne today to sing next week and we are attending an online concert on Friday. Scott will be in to lead assembly too. 

Just a quick reminder that 

- clothes must be suitable for going out in the playground

- no item of clothing should have a football badge on it

- all wording and graphics should be appropriate for under 12s

Kind Regards,

Shona MacLean

Nativity - enjoy a sing song at home!

Dear Parents and Carers,

This year’s nativity is “The Bethlehem Bake Off” and the children are already having great fun preparing for it. Using the links below, you will be able to access the soundtrack so the songs can be enjoyed and practised at home. The words for each song will be sent home next week as part of the children’s homework. Thank you for your support—we can’t wait to share the performance with you!

Book Bug Bags!

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are delighted to let you know that your child will be receiving their Bookbug Bag today!

Bookbug is a national programme in Scotland that encourages a love of stories, songs, and reading from an early age. Each bag includes carefully chosen books and fun resources to help you share reading time together at home.

Reading regularly with your child supports their language development, imagination, and confidence, and is an important part of Scotland’s early years curriculum.

In class we have made predictions about the stories included and thought about the front cover illustrations. The children are very excited to read them with you at home!

We hope you enjoy exploring the books together and creating special reading moments as a family.

Kind Regards,

Miss Sophie Shepherd and Miss Gemma Munro

This Week in P1: Spooky Fun and Fantastic Learning!

This week in Primary 1, we had an exciting mix of learning activities centred around letters, numbers, and all things Halloween! Here's a peek at what we’ve been up to:

Letters of the Week: Ss and Aa

Our little learners have been exploring the sounds and formation of the letters Ss and Aa. From practicing how to write the letters in capital and small formation, to identifying them in stories and around the classroom, we’re building strong early literacy skills!

Here are some highlights:

• Sound Spotting: We listened for words starting with “Ss” and “Aa” in our favourite books and during conversations.

• Art with Letters: Children created colourful artwork featuring snakes, stars, apples, and astronauts!

• Practice Makes Perfect: Through fun tracing and matching activities, everyone had a chance to practice forming their letters beautifully.

Why not try this at home? See how many words starting with “Ss” and “Aa” you can find during a walk or while reading together.
