Primary 1

In class we have been working on motor skills, we used a hammer to hammer in nails to decorate a pumpkin. We all found this lots of fun, we had to talk about how to stay safe with tools, how to be good at turn taking and how to be creative.

With our autumn leaves we created leaf monster puppets, we had lots of fun creating these then using them to play.

In number work we have been developing skills using Building Thinking Classrooms. We work in random groups to solve a problem together. We all love collaborative learning. We use “ thinking hats” to help us identify the problem, the information that we have, thinking time, how it makes us feel and how we can be creative.

In RE we have been learning why Mary is special to the church and that October. On Friday we joined the whole school in celebrating Mass.

During outdoor learning this week we created pumpkin designs with our handprints.

We had a very important job of voting for new house captains on Friday, we listened to the Primary 7’s tell us why they would be good captains. After thinking about it we went up to the Primary 7 room to vote.

Have a lovey weekend
