We took a walk to the school orchard and picked some apples that had been growing.  Then last week we worked with Mr Furzer’s class and Mrs Russell to make our own apple crumble.  It was really fun.  We got to use Mr Furzer’s fancy apple peeler and corer and then we chopped the apples into little pieces.  We had to be very careful when using the knives.  We also measured all the ingredients for the crumble topping into a bowl and used our hands to mix it together.  Then we had to spoon it over the apples.  We were working so hard preparing it that we forgot to take photos…oh dear.  But here are some photos of our crumble straight from the oven and of us doing the best part…eating it!  Most of us gave it a try and lots of us found it so yummy that we almost licked our bowls clean!

We did lots of different activities to help develop our fine motor skills.  We had to place counters neatly on the lines, we did some threading and we made some patterns with the pins and boards.

We have learned some sounds.  We have been learning m, a and s.  We practised writing them on our whiteboards.  We are very good at them.

We played lots of games with our big buddies.  They helped us to set the games up, to follow the rules and to take turns.  We had lots of fun.

Hello and welcome to Primary 1D’s blog.  Here you will find out about all of our learning as well as any other information that may be useful for you.  We will try to keep you updated as much as we can (Miss Dryburgh is very forgetful but she promises to try and remember!).  We will also include some photographs and examples of our work so watch this space!!
