Animals and authors!

1 Comment

This week we have been studying the author Julia Donaldson. Everyday we looked at two books by the lady who wrote the Gruffalo and we talked about what we liked about each one. Then we used the Activexpressions to vote for our favourite one. Some of the books had a Gruffalo sticker on them and we learned that these books were written after The Gruffalo.  We also noticed that pictures of the Mouse, the Squirrel and the Owl were in a lot of the other books.  We had fun trying to find them.

  

In number work we are learning how to add up.  We now know the number stories to 5.  We have been using the counting people and dalmatians maths box to help us.

We have been super busy adding sound to our Gruffalo films.  We worked together in groups to record what each character said in the story.  It was really funny listening to our recorded voices.  When all the groups are finished we are going to have a movie afternoon and watch each others films.

We have been busy making some beautiful crafts for the Christmas fayre next week. We hope that lots of people will come along and buy things from the Primary 1 stall.  Have a look at some of the things we will be selling.

  

There was a lot of excitement in Primary 1 yesterday as we had a visit from Zoolab.  Lots of animals came to see us and we were allowed to touch or stroke them.  We found out lots of information about the animals.  Some of us found a few of the animals a little scary but we were super brave.

  

  

This week we have had a fit Friday.  We have all been busy doing activities to help us stay fit and healthy and learn new sport skills.

Learning about Weight and Dens Road Gym

2 Comments

This week we have been learning about weight and capacity in maths. We have used scales to weigh things to find out which is the heaviest and lightest. We have used words like heavy, light, heavier, lighter, heaviest and lightest. We used lots of every day items you might find in the cupboard to find out which is the heaviest and lightest.

                            

In the water tray we have been experimenting with capacity by filling up things in the water tray and sand tray. We have used words like full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty and empty. We coloured in a sheet to show what we had learned.

   

DENS ROAD GYM

In our Gym we have been learning what you need to do to join the Gym. At the Busy Bee table we all filled in a Gym Membership Form. We had to put lots of information about ourselves on it and some of us looked in the mirror to remind ourselves what colour  of eyes and hair we had. We even stood on the scales to weigh ourselves for our forms. At the making table we made Gym Membership cards and Mrs Munro laminated them so they look just like a real card. We keep them in the Gym for when people come in. We have put up a display or all our ideas for setting up our Gym and have began to do exercise sheets and dance classes in it.

   

   

                                            

We have been keeping fit with the Wii too. We play a game called FIT which we borrowed from the nursery. We play with Dora and Diego and the Backyardigans. We have to pogo jump and hula hoop. Four of us can go on at a time and we take turns to hold the Wii remote. We collect medals if we do a good job and everyday we keep a tally of all the medals we collect.
