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.
