On 1st December, Primary 1 
were visited by award winning author, Linda Strachan and one of the main characters of her books, Hamish McHaggis. This marked the end of a Scotland project in which Primary 1 followed the adventures of Hamish and his friends as they travelled around Scotland. The children learned all about Scottish geography and our folklore and traditions. The children enjoyed recreating different Scottish landmarks in the P1 classrooms to help celebrate the journeys which Hamish had made. Linda brought the latest adventures of Hamish to life as she read the story of ‘Hamish and the Lost Prince’. The day was made complete with a hug from Hamish himself and our rendition of ‘Coulter’s Candy’!

This will be reflected in the action plan which will be led by the steering group and available on GLOW and school website when completed. Thank you to all who have been involved so far. We’ll keep you posted of any future developments.
P1 Autumn Pictures
As promised, here are some of the amazing pictures taken when Primary 1a and 1b went for an autumn walk recently. The colours are beautiful!
Successful Learners in P1
We may only have been in school for a few short weeks but the children in P1 have been busy learning to count and use their sounds to help them read and write. Take a look at our pictures to see them busy at work in the classroom and in the school garden on a sound hunt!
Our Favourite Things
As part of settling into our first term at school, P1b have been reading the story, ‘Harry and the Dinosaurs go to School.’ Like Harry, we decided to bring in our favourite things to learn more about each other. I hope you like the pictures of our special toys. Thanks to all the children who are amazing photographers!
Primary 1 Autumn Walk
This week primary 1a and 1b went exploring the local surroundings looking for evidence of seasonal changes. We collected leaves & pine cones and made impressive tree bark rubbings. We have lots of photographs providing evidence that autumn is well and truly here. Photographs to follow soon – watch this space!
