Sub-Zero Explorers

As temperatures hit -10, Primary 1 wrapped up warm and stepped out to explore the playground.  Because of the snow and ice we have been unable to go out to play at playtime and lunchtime.  We spoke about the risks of walking on the playground and how to keep safe.  We waited until the big boys and girls were busy in afternoon lessons and we went outside.  We had the whole school grounds to ourselves.  We took the camera outside and enjoyed looking for interesting things to photograph.  We saw ice that had started to melt into puddles, grit that made little circle patterns in the snow and we even followed the vehicle and bird tracks that we found.  We took such great photos Mrs Nicholson finished off by taking a whole class photo outside so we could remember this day when the snow melts away.  Mrs Guthrie spied us in the school garden from her window and came out to join us.  Most of the plants had died off but we're sure they'll grow again in Spring time.  We're going to keep an eye on them to make sure they do.  Look at what we saw outdoors.

Primary 1 Nativity

Primary 1 performed the nativity story this year for all our parents and community.  They kicked off each of the two performances of the School Christmas Show with "Whoops-A-Daisy Angel".  They were true stars and very professional.  Take a look at us waiting to go on stage before the first performance.

Christmas Decorations

Primary 1 used their number skills when making Christmas decorations for the class recently.  Each pupil made a set of 10 rings which we later joined together to hang from the class ceiling.  We found it a bit tricky at first but we helped each other and got there in the end.  We took our rings home along with all our other Christmas makes on the last day of school.  Here are a few snapshots of our handiwork.
