Congratulations Primary 1 on two fantastic performances. With so many pupils and staff being absent due to sickness in the last couple of weeks and for the shows, you did amazingly well to ‘stand in’ for each other and keep the show going. Well done!

Thank you to the family and friends who were able to attend yesterday’s show, we hope you enjoyed it. Thank you also for helping the pupils to practise the songs at home as it made such a difference to their confidence.

Thank you to Mrs Swan for our costumes, Colin and Ms Macauley for supporting the pupils during the rehearsals and also to Miss Appleby, Mr Madine, Mrs Wilson and Ms Robertson for helping out during the show and to Ms McEwan and Mrs Mancey for helping with refreshments.

Wow, what a team! Thank you everyone,

Miss Copeland

Sleepy Shepherd

We will be performing to the school children on Wednesday 11am this week and to parents and family on Thursday at 2pm. Your child should wear normal school uniform on these days. If not already wearing, please bring a plain black/grey trousers/leggings and a white top – long or short sleeved. All costumes are provided for the pupils. We look forward to performing for you!

Snow fun

primary 1 took the opportunity to enjoy the short snow fall, writing our names, shapes and patterns in the snow and expanding our science vocabulary – snow, melt, ice, freeze, wet, cold!

Word building

primary 1 are increasing their confidence in building and reading words. Most children are now reading short stories and sounding out CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant e.g cat, dog). In the activity below, pupils choose a card and build that word, before independently photographing it as evidence.
