Our snowflake workshop was popular too.

We enjoyed writing and drawing in the “snow”.

Lots of debate during the Fun Christmas Quiz and a surprise visitor at the end of the day too! Merry Christmas everyone!

We had danced so much that we were ready for some refreshments!

Party time!

Nativity rehearsals underway.

It was great to see so many families attending our Book & Biscuit event. Free Bookbug bags were eagerly explored and new stories were shared before voting for favourite books. We hope you continue to have fun trying out all the other activities together too.

The children in Primary 1 were very respectful at 11am this morning.

Are ye wantin ony guisers missus?

We all helped to make pumpkin lanterns.

We also enjoyed crunching the leaves under our feet and throwing them up for the wind to catch. What a lovely autumn day!

When we visited a sweet chestnut tree, we studied its leaves and bark. Then we sang a song to the tree before gathering lots of chestnuts to take back to school.

Spotting signs of autumn on our class walk was fun. We noticed the wind and the clouds. We even spotted lots of apples growing on someone’s apple tree in their garden.

P1 pupils were excited to visit the Healthy Tuck event, run to raise funds for P6 pupils to fill boxes for the Blythswood Shoebox appeal. 12 boxes will be filled with the money raised. Well done P6!

As a class reward for getting all the smirks in the jaur, we enjoyed an exciting visit to meet the school gerbils, Moon and Snowy.

We were very glad we had taken our jackets because when we sniffed the air, we knew there was rain on the way. Time to head back indoors!

We were excited to see how many apples were growing on the high branches and curious about what had made the holes in the apples on the ground.

We gazed at the solitary sunflower and wondered if the wee stone bird had been trying to peck the berries under the water in his birdbath.

We had a marvellous visit to the school orchard recently. The children were astonished at the brightness of the red berries on the rowan trees and they were amazed to see how plump the blackberries were.

We have been very busy in our first few days of Primary 1. Have a look at some of the things we have been exploring.
