Our new topic that we will be exploring in Primary 1 over the next few weeks is fairy tales. As part of our World Around Us lesson today, we enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ before accepting the challenge of building the three billy goats a new bridge to cross over the river, safely away from the troll. We studied photos of bridges, talking about the different shapes we could see and the different designs and materials used. We then investigated our own materials on offer and we worked in groups to make a plan of what our bridge might look like and what resources we would use. There was a lot of trial and error involved, and we discovered that folding paper made it stronger and soon realised the importance of using sticky tape correctly!!! Once our bridges were built, we tested them to see if they were strong enough to hold a toy goat. Thankfully, all of our bridges were successful!
As part of our new topic - Once Upon a Time, we read the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
We decided to build our own bridges and test if these were strong enough for the goats to cross.
The children loved thinking of different materials to use and working together as a group to create a bridge.
it was then very exciting as we tested these out over our ‘river’ to see if the goat got wet. I can confirm all of our bridges stayed standing! 🎉

Wow what a week!
This week we watched BBC teach lesson about helping our minds to have a growth mindset. We learned about using our hand to help us breathe to calm our mind. We learned about using music to keep our mind balanced. A healthy mind can keep us kind to everyone including ourselves!
Presentation Primary School came to visit, we made some art and learnt a little more about each other. We had such a fantastic time!
Also this week we were investigating items that would float and sink in our topic of Pirates! And to finish off our fun topic we danced and used some drama to act out the pirate songs. We also did some pirate Numeracy where a cube was worth 10 and a coin was worth 2, which was very tricky!
Please take a close look at our fun packed week...
