Welcome to our new school!

We were all very excited about coming back after Christmas to see our new school and we were not disappointed! We have not only been enjoying our new classrooms but also our new break out space, filled with wonderful things to help us learn and play. We have been exploring all around the school and were very excited to have gym for the first time in our gym hall as well as lunch in our enormous new lunch hall! We look forward to welcoming our family and friends soon to show them round our new school.

Our very first golden time in our brand new break out space. We had so much fun playing with the other children in primary 1. We have been using the space outside of the classroom for music, painting, crafts and even listening to stories and having circle times. The couches are especially comfy but everyone's favourite thing to sit on are the giant lady bird cushions!

Christmas 2011: A very special visitor comes to visit Primary 1

We all had a brilliant time with the other children in primary one at our Christmas party.


Hands up who wants a present!












From all the children in primary 1b and Miss Williams, we hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year. We look forward to the term ahead in our brand new building!

We dressed up as our favourite characters from story books. Look how fantastic we look!

Welcoming a Baby

As part of our welcoming a baby topic, we invited Mrs Coyle and her adorable son Matthew to visit us. We thought of some really interesting questions to ask Mrs Coyle and she showed us some of the things that Matthew needs. We were all really excited to see Matthew and we think he liked coming to visit us because he didn't cry at all!

Welcome to Primary 1b

The children in primary 1b have made a fantastic start at Kirklandneuk primary and have settled in really well. We have really enjoyed getting to know our primary 7 buddies over the past few weeks and we would like to say a big "thank you!" to them for helping us when we are in the playground and showing us what to do in the lunch hall. We look forward to getting to know them better over the year when they come and visit us in our classroom.

So far in primary one, we have been very busy learning to recognise our new sounds and learning how to write them. We have also been getting to know the characters in our reading books: Biff, Chip and Kipper. In maths we have been counting and learning to write and recognise our numbers. We have been having great fun working together on our active maths activities.

Each Friday Miss Williams chooses someone in the class to take home a very special member of our class - Scruff the Dog! We have really enjoyed looking at the photographs and hearing about the different adventures he has been going on with the children.

Please check back regularly to see photographs of our class at work and to read about all of the exciting things that we are doing in primary 1.

There are lots of things living in primary 1b!

We are very excited about the latest additions to primary 1b...caterpillars! We have named them all (Bruce, Sooty, Slimey, Crawly, Scott, Junior, Buster, Cutie, William and Kate!) and are measuring them every day to see how big they are getting. One (William) is already 5c m long! We also check them every day to see if they have gone in to their chrysalis yet. Its all very exciting but Miss Williams is keeping her fingers crossed that they don't turn in to butterflies over the May weekend!

Bruce the Caterpillar

We have planted our seeds and are taking really good care of them making sure that they have enough sun light and water.

End of Term Reward

We all had a fantastic afternoon along at the sports centre for our end of term reward. We enjoyed trying new things and having fun with our friends. The fun didn't stop there though because when we got back to school we got to play one of our favourite games...dodgeball!
