P1- Subtraction Tasks

We have continued to focus on our subtraction skills this week and had fun learning and playing with these ‘subtraction smash’ playdough and ‘stamp and subtract’ activities in small groups. We are gaining confidence using a range of strategies including our fingers, Manipulatives, drawing our thinking, counting back and number lines to take away successfully. Our next steps are to look at the link between adding and subtraction and to try to solve word problems.

P1- Super sense of touch

We are learning about our senses and focussed on touch earlier this week in a number of fun play to learn tasks including a mystery object game, an independent ‘textures to touch’ picture which our teacher asked us to explain later and got the opportunity to play in a range of different messy mediums such as spaghetti, icey water, lentils, gloop and mixed playdough! It was a busy learning time but lots of fun too!

P1- Invention and play

We love learning and playing in our class and outdoor environment and this week lots of us made some very inventive and creative models using different construction materials. We can share our thinking and tell others about our designs and how we overcame challenges. Amongst other things we had a waterfall, a new floor, a house with a trampoline, a train, some tall tall towers, a Lego work truck and even a real stick man!

Primary 1- Using Technology in our Play

After some help from our P7 buddies in how to use the laptops, we now have 2 of our very own in our class. They are available to use everyday but we have a 10 minute timer to ensure everyone can get a turn. We love to select from a range of learning games to help our learning across the curriculum and develop our skills with the use of technology. 💻
