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

Outdoor Learning 22nd January
Both Primary 1 classes joined forces this week again for outdoor learning.
Yet again the weather did not stop them from working as a team to come up with creative ways to approach their tasks.
They experimented with different ideas to measure the depth of their digging by using non-standard units of measure (hands, feet and even legs to name a few). They developed their fine motor skills while creating number lines with chalk. Then took on different characters during role-play, it seems we have some budding baristas in the classes. Some children used the rain and paintbrushes, they had a lot of fun working on their letter formation and common words. There was also some design problems solved in the construction area with water jugs being built to catch the rain.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Literacy, numeracy, science and expressive arts all in a Primary 1 afternoon!
Scottish Foods
P1B and P1R had a lovely afternoon yesterday trying some Scottish food and drink.
We voted on the things we thought we would and wouldnāt like. Talked about what made the food Scottish and what it was made from. Then onto the tastingā¦
We had some thumbs up and some very BIG thumbs down for certain foods.
Note to self, pepper oatcakes are very spicy… Nothing a little Irn Bru couldn’t fix though!
Well done P1 for being brave and trying things out of your comfort zone
Position and Direction
Primary 1B loved creating their own maze and directing their BeeBots from start to finish.
