We have been learning about how water can look different…
It can be ice.
It can be liquid.
It can be steam.
We froze some water and then explored what happened as it melted.

Stick Men
After reading Stick Man, we used twigs, leaves and wool to make our own stick men. Â We had to work out how use the wool to attach the twigs and leaves to make our stick men.
The Nativity
We have been retelling the story of the Nativity.
Santa’s Workshop
P1 planned what they would like to have in their Santa’s Workshop.
With the help of some P5 pupils, P1 made labels and signs for the new role play area. Â The class cannot wait to start playing in it!
Gruffalo Tea Party
We practised cutting bread and spreading butter to make a cheese sandwich for our Gruffalo Tea Party.
Handwashing
P1 listened to a story about handwashing and how and when we should wash our hands.
We did a ‘Glitter Bug’ experiment to see how easy it was to pass bugs and germs from one person’s hands to another.
After this, we all then practised washing our hands correctly.
Bookbug Activity and Gifting Session
As part of Book Week Scotland, we had a fantastic afternoon sharing the contents of the P1 Bookbug Bag, listening to one of the stories and completing an activity session.
Mrs Conetta shared the story, The Station Mouse and then P1 pupils worked  with their grown-ups or buddies to complete the Maurice the Mouse challenge they had been given.  To end the session, Mrs Davidson gifted the pupils with their Bookbug Bags.
Active Literacy
We have been learning lots of new sounds  and beginning to make lots more words with our magnetic letters and boards.
Addition
P1 have been using lots of practical materials to support them when learning addition. Â We have been using objects, Numicon, coat hangers and pegs and Rekenreks.
Dot Images, Numicon and Teddy Frames
We are learning to recognise dot images. We chose a number card and then used counters to make the dot images.
We rolled dice and had to count the number of dots to work out how many teddies in the ten frames.
We had lots of fun pressing the Numicon into the sand to make different totals.
