In topic we have been learning about Transport and the different ways we can travel. We learnt about the different types of transport across the world depending whether you lived in a hot country or a very cold country. It was so interesting we wanted to make our own!! First we worked out what transport we liked and what we did not like. Then we designed our own transport and finally we used recycled materials to build our own transport. We used cardboard and cut out the shapes for the windows and then painted. We also drew wheels and lights on the cardboard to make it look like a train. Oscar built a rocket, Darcey built a bus and Eilidh started to build a Hot air balloon.

Primary 1 also this week went for a walk around the school playground. We were learning about our senses, we had to look for what we could smell, hear, see and feel. We also looked around the playground to find signs of spring. We looked closely at flowers in the plant pots that were starting to grow. When we came back to class we wrote a list of everything we had seen and heard.

In language we have also been learning about ‘Main ideas’. We were learning how to use who, what, where and when not only when we are reading but also for writing our weekly news. While in maths we were still trying really tricky word problems using our cubes, fingers, number lines and drawing as well as exploring patterns and shapes. Our favourite game this week in maths is bingo and “funky mummy.”

In art we made special cards for Mother’s day. We hope you all have a relaxing Sunday.
