Pancake Day

On Tuesday we celebrated Pancake Day.  We had to carefully read the recipe and  measure and weigh the ingredients.  We then had to spread our pancakes after they were cooked.  But our favourite part was definitely tasting them!!

World Book Day

We also celebrated World Book Day on Thursday.  We had a wonderful day sharing and reading our favourite books.  The buddies came to our class in the morning and we took part in a Story Book Quiz.  They then helped us read our stories and played some book related games with us.

We have also been busy this week learning about Doubles and trying to commit them to memory.

We have also started dictation, listening to sentences and writing them on a whiteboard.  We tried to remember capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

Miller also brought in some shark’s teeth to let us investigate. We loved looking at them! Thank you Miller!

As part of our World Book Day tomorrow, Thursday 6th March, we would love the children to bring in their favourite book from home.  They will then get an opportunity to talk about their books with their friends.

Thanks again for your support!

Mrs Ferguson

We had great fun today making pancakes! I’ll be posting photos on our weekly round up on Friday but some of the children were asking for the recipe for home, so thought I’d share my granny’s recipe! The milk is roughly 150ml.
Happy flipping!!

This week our Numeracy Homework is focusing on Addition.  Please complete and hand in by Friday 7th March.

Thanks again for your continued support!

With Mrs Schendel we were learning how to make o’clock on both an analogue and a digital clock.

In literacy we were focusing on the common words be, he, me and we.  We had great fun writing these words in the foam.

We are making great progress with our ERIC time and some of us found some of our common words in our books.

In PE we have started gymnastics.  We were very excited to get the mats out!

We practised balancing on our backs, on two hands and one leg and on one hand and two legs.

And then we were doing log rolls and eggs rolls.

We also need to learn how to put the equipment away safely, well done boys!

It was SO lovely to be back this week and see everyone.  I missed all those wee smiley faces!

We have been busy this week learning the ‘qu’ sound.  We drew queens, built duck ponds, created castles for queens, played cards and timed how quickly we could make the alphabet.  We also used our letters to build CVC words.

In Numeracy, we have been consolidating our learning of addition, subtraction and missing number calculations…

We drew some beautiful daffodils to add to our display of spring flowers.

We spotted some snowdrops and daffodils on our walk this week but we also ended up VERY wet!!

Primary 1 have been working hard for Mrs Stewart this week.

We have been learning all about the seasons and have been outside building nests, just like the birds in spring, and followed  an Art Hub tutorial on YouTube to draw autumn hedgehogs.

Our sounds this week were x and z and we have been working on putting our letter sounds, as well as the names, in alphabetical order.

We have had a lovely week with Mrs Stewart and are looking forward to having Mrs Ferguson back next week.

It’s been a short week but we have still managed to pack lots in!

Our sound this week was ‘y’  and we built a yacht, designed yoghurt pots and practised our common words on yellow post it notes.

In maths we were introduced to the analogue clock and found it very funny that it has two ‘hands’.  We made our own clocks and have taken these home.  You could use these to practise making o’clock times at home as we will be learning this in class over the next few weeks.  Also, have a look out at home, or when you are out and about, for all the places that we can see the time displayed.

We are coming to the end of our hockey block in PE and this week we used all the skills we have learned to play mini hockey games.  Look at how happy we were when we scored a goal!

This week we were practising shooting at a target. Look at us go!

This week we have been learning the ‘j’ and ‘v’ sound.  We have been making jelly and jam sandwiches, creating jellyfish, building jungles, painting volcanoes, role-playing vets and designing vans.

We have also been exploring our favourite tool to use when subtracting.  Can you spot the tools we have used?

This week was the end of our Scotland topic.  The children have worked so hard to make ‘My World’.
