This week we have been celebrating 100 years of Dens Road School. We had an assembly on Tuesday where we saw what it was like to be in school in 1911 when the school opened. We saw a classroom with slates and chalk and an abacus. And we saw a classroom like ours with Nintendo DS’ and interactive whiteboards. We like our classrooms. We did a mind map of what we would like to learn about schools. Check out the latest school blog which has extracts of the school log book 100 years ago. https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/dd/DensRoadSchool100Years/
We have been practising our Jolly Phonics sounds lots this week. We have been making 3 letter words in class. We play with the wedge and make words.
In our homework we have a new Blending Book so we can have lots of practise of blending our sounds together. The more we practise, the better we get!
In maths we are learning to add things together. We are really good at it already. We have used our Ladybird Maths Box to help us.
We also practise writing numbers on our whiteboards. We completed our first adding sheet in the class and Mrs Mackay and Miss Davies will be putting them into our Folio of Work for P1.
This is brilliant – really puts what we do in secondary schools to shame! Amazing p1!
Thank you for writing to us and we think it is very kind of you to look at our blog. We heard that you are going to show our blog to your school and we would like to hear what your big school teachers think. Primary 1a1 would like to know if your children at your school have a blog that we could look at?
Today we are going to be making treasure maps like people would have made to play with 100 years ago… Look on our blog to see how we got on.
Thank and a big big goodbye for p1a1 and Mrs Mackay
