In groups, P1 visited some classes to do a favourite fruit survey. They used some of the fruit from Handa’s Surprise as their choices. They collected the information in tally marks and then displayed the information in a pictograms.

Shrove Tuesday and Fairtrade
We learn about the importance of Shrove Tuesday to Christians and make pancakes in class.
As this is Fairtrade Fortnight, we made the pancakes using Fairtrade ingredients and thanks Sainsburys for donating the ingredients we used to make the pancakes and our yummy toppings!
Chinese New Year
We have loved learning about Chinese New Year. We have been learning about and creating our own dragon dances, painting dragons and making fans. The class worked together to make a giant dragon’s head which we will use when performing our dragon dance.
We even make vegetable stir fry noodles using our bridge and claw grips when learning to chop the vegetables safely. The vegetable stir fry was a huge success.
The Chinese Restaurant role-play area has been a favourite in the class too this week.
Shortbread
We continued to learn about Scottish and Scottish traditions by following a recipe to make shortbread. P1 listened to Immersive Reader on word read the recipe aloud for them to follow.
Our village
As part of our Scottish fortnight, P1 went for a walk in the village to locate and draw landmarks.
Forms of water
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.

Natural painting
We used twigs and sprigs of leaves from different plants to paint Stick Man.
Christmas story time with P3/4
The Kindness Elves in P3/4 visited and asked the children to share some Christmas stories with P1. Some P1s visited their classroom and some P3/4s visited the P1 classroom to take part in the session.
We all loved listening to the stories!
Planting Bulbs
We planted from spring bulbs outside in the planters. Look out for them in the Spring!
Technology – Boat Builders
As part of our Jack and The Flum Flum Tree topic, we made boats for Jack, Stu and Rose to sail in to the Isle of Blowyernose using shoe boxes.
