P1 & P1/2 Celebration Day
We created our very own bear just like the one in 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen using a variety of materials. We used different fabrics and textured paper, our bears were amazing!
TeePee Time
We had so much fun reading 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen inside the teepee kindly constructed by Miss Hutcheson. We were surprised at just how warm and bright it was inside!
Rolling, rolling, rolling through the swishy swashy grass!
Just like the story - we can't go over it, we can't go under it, we'll just have to go through it!
squelchy mud, pebbles and water!
What interesting words and phrases we used to describe the feeling of the mud, pebbles and water between our toes!
more mud, stones and water!
Class Photo
Hello everyone, tomorrow we will be getting our class photograph taken. Remember to bring those big smiles to school!
What We'll Build! A cosy fire.
Today we had so much fun watching and listening to the P7 Outdoor Learning Prefects and Miss Hutcheson showing us how to make a fire safely. Together we followed all the Fire Safety rules to toast yummy marshmallows. Primary one listened really carefully and really enjoyed the warmth of the fire just like the little girl and her father in our story. More Text to Self Connections made today! A big thank you again to the primary sevens and Miss Hutcheson. :o)
Creative Colours Day
A wee reminder that Thursday is our creative colours day to round off the term with a celebration of achievement and the birthdays of the past term. Children can come to school dressed as colourfully as they choose; we’ll also have some crispy cakes for all made by our head cook – thank you! Please remember that we are now fundraising along with the Parent Council for Block Play – a fantastic resource for all our children from nursery to P7 at the school. We would be grateful for any contributions towards this on the day. Thank you!

What We'll Build
Primary one loved having Clelland coming to visit to tell us all about the tools he uses to help keep us safe here at MOL. He showed us all the safety features from clothing to multiple guards and switches on saws. We really enjoyed trying on the safety boots and trousers and feeling the weight of the tools. We saw many of the tools in the book 'What We'll Build' by Oliver Jeffers, making Text to Self connections.

Happy Hallowe'en
Just look at our amazing pumpkins! We safely used different tools to make holes, scoop out the seeds and saw the pumpkin skin to make these perfect, pumpkin designs.
Autumn Dress Down Day and Birthday Celebrations!
Term 2 Week 1
We've been super busy this week after our October holidays investigating Food and Textile Technologies for Hallowe'en. We have demonstrated creativity, design, dexterity and problem solving.
First we designed and glued paper pumpkins, next there was lots of scooping and carving using different utensils and then we made and played with webs.
Family Gallery
This week we will be sharing and celebrating our families. It would be great if you could take in a photo of your family for our gallery wall.
Sequencing stories
Together we voted which story we would read this week and the winner was The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Our focus was to include the sequencing language - First, Next and Finally. The story spoons were very popular to help us retell the story and draw our story maps. Ask your child to re-tell the story to you.
Who did it?
What happened? Who was it? So many questions! An incident occurred in the classroom and primary one investigated by following the clues. We are fairly confident it was Cat in the Hat who made the mess.
Investigating patterns and Numicon
We have been talking about colour, shape, patterns, size and position with the Numicon Baseboards and Numicon Shapes. We used our knowledge to make pictures and play board games.
