Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week! This week we have been exploring light and dark and focussing on space and the night sky. We have been discussing the different routines for night and day and the planets in our solar system. We have enjoyed reading books about the moon and astronauts and have been role playing in our space suit. We made some beautiful stained glass window decorations to observe how the colours change in the sunlight, built amazing rockets using recycling and painted some bright stars and moons. We also designed and built some brilliant rockets in our construction area and had lots of fun playing with our small world space station. We helped bake a yummy cake for our friend’s birthday and made some bright playdough. We had a great time at forest school making some lovely leaf rubbings and played hide and seek in the woods.
Please continue to post lovely pictures of the fun you have at home on the learning journals. If your child is going to school after the summer then please make sure you have submitted your application. As the weather is getting colder please make sure you bring you are on time as it is too cold for the children to be waiting outside for long periods of time. We hope you have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
Hello, I hope you all had a lovely holiday and enjoy your day off today. We have 8 weeks until Christmas holidays and lots of fun experiences coming up!
Dress Down Day
This FRIDAY is our dress down day. You may dress up for Halloween or wear non-school uniform. Sometimes Halloween costumes can be scary. Costumes from films or games should be suitable for the age of the pupil. If you would like some support with a Halloween outfit, please let P1 staff know so we can help. We are very excited!
National Poetry Day
7th October was National Poetry Day. We enjoyed hearing a few poems and playing the game taught to us by author Simon Mole below! Inspired by Simon Mole, we created our own class poem called Dream Day. We then each had a go at writing our own ones. Being creative and imaginative in our writing can help us develop a joy of writing!
Maths – Time Topic
This week we had two focusses. We were developing our knowledge of the days of the week further by using the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar and sorting the days and the food he ate. We also learnt about how you can see time passing through looking at the trees. This helped us learn about the 4 seasons.
Colour
We have enjoyed reading the book The Colour Monster throughout our first term. At the beginning, the colour monster is ‘all mixed up’ so we sort his feelings into 6 different jars. Listen to the story below.
We ‘check in’ our feelings every morning and can move our peg throughout the day to share how we are feeling.

Community classrooms
We loved having the Primary 7s come visit us and teach us all about place value. Well done to the P7s for teaching us such a tricky topic and well done to Primary 1 who listened so intently!
