Primary One Blog – week ending 13th March 2015
This week we have had the chance to learn a little more about transport. On Monday and Tuesday we designed our own mode of transport. We thought about what we liked and what we didn’t like about different types of transport then we worked together to create our own. Some of us brought in some junk and we got to build our own transport. Miss Welsh helped us make a tuk tuk which is a mode of transport used in very hot countries. We explored transport from around the world – we know that in Alaska they use Skidoos to get around as it’s very snowy there. In San Francisco they use trams because it is so hilly in this city. In Venice they use special boats called Gondolas because there are small rivers running through the city. We explored sea planes and hot air balloons too.
Miss Ninian came to assembly to talk to use about Red Nose Day – we know that this is a special where people try very hard to raise money to give to poorer people. We think this is a very good day !
Millie – Anne – I have learned how to make music for the very hungry caterpillar story. We had to get instruments – I had a Triangle and we had to use these to make music. I thought it was good to learn how to make music to go along story.
Rachel – I have learned to play the violin at home. My mum held it I put my cheek on the special cheek rest and my Mum got the special neck rest for me to help relax my neck. It was epic! I really want to make it more like a tune when I play and I want to be able to play let it go.
Kai – I have learned how to do better finger spaces in my writing. Miss Welsh told us that it was very important to have finger spaces in our writing because if they are not there we don’t know where words start and where words end. To do finger spaces I have to use my finger and put it at the end of a word and then start writing the next word and I can then write after my finger.
Lucas – I have learned to write and read the sound “ch”. We learned a song and we had to sing it and do the actions. Now when I see a c and a h together I know they say ch for children.
