P1 Term 3
P1 have been busy in Term 3. Here’s what they have been doing.
Literacy – Lots of writing, looking at using full stops, capital letters and finger spaces. Looked at the difference between fiction and non-fiction texts.
Reading – using the front cover to predict what a book might be about.
French – we have been learning how to say the colours in French
Numeracy – Started Subtraction. We also learnt about ordinal numbers and have been using this when talking about the calendar each morning.
HWB – Our strengths and the strengths of our friends. We have been looking at what makes us and our friends special and how it is okay that someone might be better at things than we are.
IDL – Weather (looking at symbols and seasons), did a green screen weather report.
Water – looked at how water changes when we get it hot or cold – did lots of experiments and made ‘hypotheses’ about what would happen.
Other Areas – Drama focus, retelling fairy tales like Jack and the beanstalk through drama, with a focus on using our body and facial expressions to convey emotions.

P6/7 Blooms Taxonomy Posters
P6/7 has been learning about HOTS (higher order thinking skills). In class they were creating posters to show that they can create questions and understand what section of HOTS it would come under.
P1 Fitness
P1 has been focussing on fitness within PE. They have been working on building their stamina, which means we try our best not to stop. They have been having a go at doing wall-sits, shuttle runs, toe taps and arm exercises. They have worked really hard, and are usually a bit sweaty by the end.
