P1a worked brilliantly as a team to solve their challenge set by the pirate! They built their own pirate ship and even remembered the scary plank!! Watch out for these pesky pirates! 🏴‍☠️ @laidler_hannah NewtongrangePS #aspirebelieveachieve #learningthroughplay #teamwork

Our primary 1’s have had a brilliant first week of primary school! Thanks to our fabulous P1 team for settling them all in to school life! 🥰 Lynsay Mitchell @missBChunter @laidler_hannah #aspirebelieveachieve

Look at the wonderful, patterned “triceratops frill” B created in P1a today! He taught me that the spiky bit is called a frill. 🤩 I am very impressed! Lynsay Mitchell NewtongrangePS

K had fun counting out 8 loose parts to fill the octopus’ legs! I so very proud of her effort and focus 🤩 Lynsay Mitchell NewtongrangePS #aspirebeliveachieve

P1a had great fun making and trying out their ball and cup toys today as part of their “time travellers adventure” topic learning about toys from the past! 🧸 🪀🏏🧩 NewtongrangePS #aspirebelieveachieve

P1a and I have been having lots of fun exploring patterns over the past few weeks! 🟣🔵🟢🟣🔵🟢 #aspirebelieveachieve NewtongrangePS Lynsay Mitchell

P1a have chosen to do experiments for Wider Curriculum this term. So far, we have mixed colours in test tubes, made predictions and showcased our understanding of colour theory! 🧪👩‍🔬👍 NewtongrangePS Lynsay Mitchell

Our time machine has now taken us back to the time of the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖 and our classroom has been invaded! We are waiting patiently for our dinosaur egg to hatch and N and N worked together to build a cage for when it does! Let’s hope it doesn’t bite! 🦖🦕 NewtongrangePS

It was so lovely getting to meet lots of our new P1s and read them a story as part of our transition. I can’t wait to see them all again at our transition afternoon on Wed and then ready to go in August! NewtongrangePS #aspirebelieveachieve

P1b enjoyed exploring different concrete materials and making patterns as part of their learning this week 💙💚💕💙💚💕 NewtongrangePS #mathsweekscotland #aspirebelieveachieve

P1B had an exciting afternoon meeting a police officer as part of their topic. 👮🏻‍♀️ They loved getting to see inside the police van and had lots of fantastic questions to ask to find out more about the job. NewtongrangePS #aspirebelieveachieve
