Data Handling

P1B have been learning about data. We have discussed how to gather data, the different ways to sort it and how to present the data on a pictogram.

We have worked together as a class and individually.

We had an amazing time going outdoors to collect items to sort and present on out natural pictogram.

 

Happy Easter

P1B have had a busy term.

We have loved learning about plants, having the best time on our school trip!

We have been Marvellous Mathematicians learning about addition and money!

I hope you all have a lovely break and can’t wait to see you all after the holiday!

School trip tomorrow

Hi,

We are all very excited for our school trip tomorrow to Dean Castle Country Park!

Please remember to wear school uniform and weather appropriate clothes. Lots of children took home their puddle-suits and wellies for the occasion!

Any snacks/drinks/lunch should be brought in a disposable plastic bag. Any lunches ordered through the school app will be handed to learners in class in the morning. Ideally, learners should bring drinks in a disposable bottle or carton. School bags will be left in school. Feel free to put a change of clothes in learners bag for when they return to school, but please note (unless you ask the teacher otherwise), this change of clothes will not come on the trip with us.

We will be leaving at 9am sharp, so please make sure everyone arrives on time! Look forward to seeing you all then!

Thanks, Miss Ronald and Miss Barrett

School trip

Hi all,

Next week, P1R and P1B will be visiting Dean Park in Kilmarnock for our school trip, linking in with our current STEM topic on Plant Growth and Plant Care.

Please note the new date of our school trip is Tuesday 17th March: this is different to the original date of Wednesday 18th March. P1 will be away for the school day and will be travelling by school bus. Please ensure that all learners wear their uniform and dress weather appropriate, as well as bring snacks/lunch/drinks in a disposable plastic bag. If any learners want to order a packed lunch from the school, then please do this through the lunch app as soon as possible. We would also really appreciate if you can ensure that all names are on uniform and jackets, to support with smooth transitions between workshops and areas.

The cost of this school trip is £4. This is now up on Parent Pay and available to pay.

If you have any questions regarding this, then please speak to Miss Barrett or Miss Ronald. Thanks!

Measuring Weight

We had a great time last week making our own fruit salads when learning about weight. We talked about how much fruit we wanted to weigh out.

We were able to read the scales and decide if there was too much (too heavy) or too little (light) and were able to talk about how to fix this, by adding or taking away.

P1 loved using our child- safe knives to cut and prepare the fruit for our salads, using great listening skills.

Scottish Assembly

This Friday is our Scottish Assembly. All children are invited to wear something tartan (a piece of clothing, an accessory etc) to celebrate the day.

Well done to all our hard workers in P1B who have spent weeks preparing for this special event. A special good luck to our three finalists!

Thanks,

Miss Barrett
