Our P1s loved threading beads onto pipe cleaners to create candy canes - a perfect festive way to build fine motor control and hand–eye coordination! 🎄 🌟

Primary 1 Play 🌟

🧩Brain Flakes - “Look, it’s standing!”
🎨Peg boards - “My pattern’s perfect!”
🚂Train tracks - “This bit goes here!”
🍟McDonald’s - “Order number 3!”

So much creativity, language and problem-solving happening through play every single day. 💛

Lots of focus and fine-motor fun today during art - P1 used their weaving skills to give their winter bears the cosiest jumpers. 🧵🐻❄️

🦷✨ Last week our P1s were developing their health and wellbeing skills as they learned how to keep their teeth clean and healthy with Childsmile! They listened carefully, asked great questions, and practised brushing on some furry friends. 😁🪥

Putting names to faces and jobs - P1s are learning all about the people who help us every day! From scissors to glue, our P1s are learning to use tools with skill and control ✂️📄

Learning through nature! Our P1s went leaf-spotting to discover all kinds of colours and shapes! 🍂🍁🍃

Spooky season success! Here are our P1s’ finished Halloween decorations! 🦇🧙

From wooden shapes to wickedly wonderful Halloween art - P1s are ready for Halloween! 🎃

Our P1 learners have been consolidating their SATPIN sounds through a fun and creative colouring activity. Fantastic to see growing confidence in identifying and using their new sounds! 🎨🔤

Using chalk, P1s created life-sized body outlines, colourful houses, and even roads to follow.
“This is my road - you can drive on it!” and “Look, I’ve made a door for my house!” 🏠🚗 One learner proudly said, “That’s me on the ground - I’m taller than I thought!”👤 @mrsguidori.bsky.social

Our P1 learners had a wonderful morning exploring their creativity during play!

Some children worked together to build amazing models with Duplo and magnetic tiles, showing great imagination and teamwork. Others enjoyed playing teachers, taking turns and sharing ideas!💡👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 @mrsguidori.bsky.social

Primary 1 are working hard on their phonics. In these pictures they are focused on the sound t through a colour-the-sound task, building recognition in a fun and active way.

This week our Primary 1s enjoyed a very special reading session with their Primary 7 buddies! The children loved sharing stories together, listening carefully, and chatting about the pictures and characters. 📚 @mrsadonnelly.bsky.social @mrsbartley.bsky.social
