This week we have been very busy sorting. We are able to sort by colour, size and shape. We have sorted lots of different things including compare bears, buttons, shapes, animals and lots of things from our natural area.
We are getting very good at taking photographs of our learning to put in our folios.
We have been learning and taking turns in the Active Learning Area this week. Some of our favourite places to learn are the puppet show where we have been telling the story of Sleeping Beauty, the construction area where we have been building words with the sounds we know and the dolls house where we have been taking turns to be different characters.
This week we were very excited to find out that we won prizes for our entries in the Dundee Flower and Food Festival. Our class entry of an autumn tree won second prize and Kira won first prize for her paper plate hedgehog. We were all very pleased and are discussing what to do with our prize money.
Week beginning Monday 9th September.
On Tuesday lots of us were joined by one of our grown ups and we all had a school dinner. It was very exciting going to the dinner hall for the first time. We wore our coloured bands to show the dinner ladies what lunch we had chosen. The choices were pasta bolognaise, fish fingers or a baked potato with beans. Everything was delicious.
We enjoyed our school lunch and are looking forward to next week when we will be in school full time and can have lunch at school every day.
We had a visitor from a Judo Club in Dundee. We were invited to a taster judo session which was brilliant fun. We got to wear a judo jacket and try out some games on the special judo mats. We have all taken home a leaflet to share with our families.
We visited Miss Gauld this week to learn all about teeth. Miss Gauld had a HUGE set of teeth to show us and we learnt how to brush our teeth properly. We had a go at brushing the teeth on the crocodile and the dog with a giant toothbrush. We were all very good at it.
Miss Gauld let us look at some of her interesting books all about teeth and she had some lovely stories about teeth too. We all looked at the tooth display and found out some interesting facts about teeth. We liked the big diagram of a tooth.
We enjoyed making paper plate faces with some lovely healthy teeth.
For homework this week lots of us have been busy making beautiful wands. We brought them in to WOW everyone. Some of our wands are going to be put up in the homework hall of fame.
Week beginning 2nd September 2013
We have been busy this week practising and learning lots of sounds. We are able to say the sounds and write the sounds. We have practised our writing on whiteboards, in the sand tray and at the writing table.
This week we had a rather grumpy visitor!! The Bad Tempered Ladybird came to visit our classroom. We enjoyed listening to the story of The Bad Tempered Ladybird and then we did some fantastic number work. We were so good that by the end the ladybird was in a good mood again.
We visited Miss Gauld our Healthy Eating Assistant again this week. We are going to be learning about the five main food groups and this week we were learning about yellow fillers. We looked at the eatwell plate that shows us how much of each type of food we should have. We noticed that the yellow section is quite big.
Miss Gauld had a special box full of examples of yellow fillers foods. We were very interested to see what was inside.
We also had the chance to taste some yellow filler foods. We all liked the different types of bread that Miss Gauld had prepared for us.
We looked at some books about bread and made some super pictures using pasta.
Week beginning 26th August 2013
We have had a brilliant first week at school and have all had great fun meeting our teachers and making new friends. We have explored our classroom and all the different learning areas.
We have a daily clock that shows us all the activities we will be doing. We take it in turns to move the arrow around to the next activity.
We are counting the number of days that we have been in Primary 1. Every day we add a number to our number square.
Dens Road is a health promoting school so every day at playtime we have fruit to eat. On Thursday we visited Miss Gauld in her area to taste and learn about different fruits. Miss Gauld prepared seven different fruits for us to try. The selection was watermelon, dates, peaches, apricot, pineapple, lemon and mango.
We all enjoyed tasting the different fruits and deciding which was our favourite. They were all so delicious it was difficult to choose one! We added our favourites to a chart on the wall.
The most popular fruit was watermelon. Miss Gauld has said that she will make sure we have some watermelon to enjoy in our playtime fruit box. Delicious!!
Week beginning 19th August 2013
