Mrs Halliday & P1H

Please find a letter from our current Pupil Parliament, attached. We are very excited about our Charity Fundraising Events that will take place over the season of Lent, and we thank you for your continued support. 🙏🏼 🌍 💛 🌟 🐣 #ResponsibleCitizens #EffectiveContributors

The beginning of Lent… 🙏🏼 💛 Please ask us about our learning at home, at school, and at church, this week. ✨ ⁦@MrsSt_STMB⁩

World Book Day 📚❤️. We loved sharing our thoughts on our favourite books/characters and the reason(s) why. 💭 Our learning centred on Mrs Halliday’s favourite book, an animation that you can watch: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0d… 👦🏼🦊🐴🐭 We would love to hear your thoughts on this!📖✨

We then created our own dreamcoats using oil pastels pieces of paper/card. We will share these with you soon! Please talk to us about this Bible Story, and our learning, at home. ☺️🌟 @MrsSt_STMB

This afternoon, we gathered together to read and discuss the Bible Story and Gospel Messages of: Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat. 🙏🏼 📖🧥🌈 We were fascinated by the story and we were reminded of the power and importance of forgiving those who have upset or wronged us.(1/2)

Phonics fun, in P1! ✨ 🌟 Today, we have been consolidating lots of our new digraphs (sh, ch, ai, ie - and many more!) in addition to practising segmenting and blending. Please ask us about this at home! 📸 ☺️ 📝 ⁦@MrsSt_STMB⁩

Since the start of January, we have participated in specialist Music lessons with Mrs Moore. 🎶🥁 We have been learning to keep a steady beat; experiment different ways of playing (scraping, shaking, tapping), and play soft/loud and fast/slow. We hope you enjoy watching us!✨🪇🎼

📚🧣 Reading for Pleasure in our Outdoor Classroom 🥰 📖 While the pre-schoolers paid a visit to our P1 classroom, we spent some time reading together outside. You can see from our faces how much we enjoyed sharing a story together! ✨ 👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 #ReadingSchools #ReadingForPleasure

Cosy stories 📚🍪🧸 Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Cosy Stories of 2025. We loved sharing our favourite stories with our grown ups 🥰📖@MrsH_STMB

Languages Week 2025 We plan to celebrate Languages Week Scotland, here at St Mary's, at the beginning of February, and we would be grateful if you could offer to help in any way. Please see the attached letter for further information. drive.google.com/file/d/1ygz6Pg…

Our Right of the Month is UNCRC Article 7: all children have the right to a name and belong to a country. At home, you could talk to us about our name, and why it is special/chosen for us. 💛 You could even tell us about where we were born and our family history in a country. 🌍

Please remember to click the link on Google Classroom to see your child’s Success Journal: they have lots of photos and videos of their learning, as they achieve their targets, and they would love to share and talk about this at home! ☺️🌟🎯 #CelebratingSuccess @MrsSt_STMB

@sciaf Thank you so much for your reply - we agree! 🥰🙏🏼

@MrsH_STMB Thank you for learning about our work P1 and P7! Together, we can build a better world💚

P1 loved learning about the charity SCIAF with their P7 peers. They told us all about SCIAF’s mission, and how they work to protect human rights across the globe. 🌎🙏🏼✨ We have engaged in lots of dialogue about SCIAF’s work recently, so please ask us about this at home. 🥰🏡
