Sports Day

We won lots of prizes and Murran won the award for amazing sportsmanship, she really showed us what it was all about!

Millie – I liked it when we did the long jump.

Noah – I liked that Oscar went very fast.

Ryan – I liked running fast.

 

 

Good afternoon!

This week we have been painting beautiful watercolour pictures for the art exhibition. Hereā€™s a sneak peak of some of our masterpieces.

We have also been continuing to work on developing our speed and accuracy when answering addition and subtraction questions. Our first target is to work within 10 (eg. 5+2, 9-2) and then 20 (eg. 6+6, 5-1). We have been writing answers to questions on our whiteboards, hiding them and then showing the teacher all at the same time.

In technology we are gaining confidence working on the laptops. Today some pupils from P7M came to support us to use Paint. After todayā€™s lesson we can now-

  • log on
  • open the Paint programme and create a picture
  • save a file
  • log off and shut down

Bonjour!

Another sunny day in P1F! This week we have been revising our number bonds, this is really important and if we have fast recall of these it will help us with all other maths.

Also in maths we have been learning sbout fractions of numbers and fractions of shapes. We know how to share out objects into 2 groups and we can divide a circle into halves and quarters!

In French, we are learn g the days of the week – Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi and Dimanche.

25.3.19

We have had another busy week in Primary 1. We are still practising our assembly songs, just in case you are wondering why we keep singing about Enormous Turnips!

In maths we have been learning about direction. Knowing left from right can be tricky, ask us to see if we can remember.

We have also been practising our handwriting to make sure we know how to correctly write each letter and where it should sit on the line.

18.3.19

We have had another busy week in Primary 1!

For Red Nose Day we got to wear red to school for the day! This is a really important charity and we have been working with Primary 5 to sell Red Noses.

In maths we are continuing to learn about measure and we are now learning about area Ā area is the amount of space a flat shape takes up .

11.3.18

 

In maths we are continuing to learn about measure in maths, this week we focused on weight. We revised using the language of heavier and lighter and learned to use the balance scales.

We we read the book, ā€œShhhh! We have a plan.ā€ We liked the book because it had a good ending but we also thought the angry bird was a bit scary.

We used the story to help us to create characters and we used different materials to create our characters, just like the ones in the book.

Next we used the characters to create a new set of stories called, ā€œShhhh! We have another plan.ā€

We loved dressing up for World Book Day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.3.19

Last week we were learning about capacity in maths, we learned that this is the amount of space liquid takes up. We were using vocabulary including full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty and empty to describe liquids. We were also comparing different containers of liquid to each other.

We are really lucky to have Mrs Duncan working with us, she has been teaching us how to speak French.

Lots more measure…

We are learning about living things and this week we were looking at plants and how they grow. We planted some cress seeds and we are keeping a diary to show how they grow. We are using our measuring skills to track their height.

Sam: We put the soil and the seeds into a pot with Mrs Given.

Millie E: In our cress diaries we wrote instructions.

Kyle: The instructions tell you how to plant the cress seeds.

Beni: We drew a picture of the plants.

In maths we are learning more about measure. Today we measured lots of things inside and outside the classroom. We have been practising using measure words including longer and shorter.

Here are some of our measurements:

Measuring is an important life skill and lots of jobs rely on accurately measuring things.

Ryan: My dad measures lots of things for his work, he is a joiner and a builder.

Sam: My Uncle is a builder and he makes roofs so he needs to measure.

Aaron: You might need to measure a wall to paint it.
