Learning in P1-4

We finished off our ‘Wildlife and the Weather’ IDL with a visit from Lianne, Mar Lodge Ranger. She took the children into the woods where they they looked at the changing seasons and how animals respond to this.

On Friday afternoon we talked about our learning throughout the week. Edith has enjoyed learning how to multiply. Scarlett has been practising her 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Craig has been ‘learning his numbers’. We talked about how division is a bit tricky and how it’s the opposite of multiplying.  Some children mentioned learning how to join the letter ‘s’ in handwriting and how to write stories like a news reporter. They are enjoying opportunities in class to play at being reporters, complete with wearing a suit! In PE they have been learning how to play volleyball and in RME the class have been finding out about the colourful Hindu festival, Holi.

In assembly this week we found out about lots of different kinds of scientist, as part of British Science Week. To be good scientists we have to be curious and ask lots of questions, and we spoke about what kind of scientist we might like to be. Lots of information and activities available on the British Science Week website here.

 

Learning in P1-4

This afternoon we talked about our learning this week in RM 2. Ava told us that she has enjoyed learning in maths, finding out about graphs and charts in ‘data handling’. She has also enjoyed her reading book, part of the Dragon Eggs series. Oscar has enjoyed finding out more about journalism and reporters and their role in telling us about the news. Edith talked about fasting, covered in RME when learning about Islam.

Aiden has really enjoyed playing with the cars this week, especially playing with the ramp built by Lucas. Scarlett told us about using a mnemonic to help her remember how to spell ‘ould’ words. ( O U lucky duck!)  The children have really enjoyed Tech, Doodle and Dance clubs this week.
Assembly today was about friendships and P1-4 had some great ideas for our Braemar School Friendship Code.  Here are some photos from our week.

 

 

Making our ebooks in P1-4

P1-4 have been learning about animals who migrate, hibernate or adapt during our cold winters. They used their technology skills to make ebooks. They needed to decide which animals to write about and made sure to put them in the correct section. Some children took notes from the internet and drew pictures of their favourite animals.

IDL learning in Room 2

This term our topic is the weather and its impact on our local wildlife.

We will regularly update the slideshow below to let you know what we are learning in class.

Learning activities P1-4 Wednesday 7th January 2026

Good morning P1-4,

I hope you are enjoying the snowy weather! The penguins kept us entertained yesterday- did you get a chance to see them being fed?  Lots of you have already spent time on Sumdog this week- well done!  Mrs McKnight and the MacFadyens have been busy building snowmen, and my doggies have enjoyed running around our garden. If you have a picture you’d like to share here, just drop me an email.

Here are some learning activities for you to have a look at today.

Literacy/IDL/ Get outdoors

Part of our new topic for this term is learning about the weather and its effect on animals.

When we are back in class we shall do some planning together, but you can make a start by finding out about snow. Click on this link and work through the page, watch the video and then try the quiz at the bottom. If you’d like a challenge, can you write a poem about a snowy day?

Look closely at the snow outside- ask a parent to help you zoom in on a camera app on a phone or tablet. What can you see?  Can you draw a snowflake?

Numeracy

Log onto Sumdog and practise your maths.

If you prefer, have a look at Hit the Button. There are lots of different levels and you can practise number bonds, times tables or halves and doubles.

If you want to let me know how you get on, ask a parent to help you leave a comment on this post.

Stay cosy and hopefully we will see you soon,

Mrs Maclean

 

 

PC Cain visit to Room 2

Today we had a visit from our local police officer PC Cain. In the playground she showed us her police car, the important things she carries in the boot such as a broom and traffic cones and she also put the siren on. It was very loud! After that we went to the hall and tried on some pieces of police uniform.  We had so much fun trying on coats, hats, vest and learned about why she carries handcuffs, radio and a baton.  This visit concludes our IDL topic: People who help us.  Thank you PC Cain!
