We have been learning about Space in Primary 1.
Today we have been talking about the planets in our Solar System. Some of our class decided to recreate the planets orbiting the sun.
The Three Little Pigs
We have been enjoying reading different fairy tales in Primary 1 recently, the latest is The Three Little Pigs.
The children all discussed their favourite part of the story, they wrote sentences and drew pictures about it. They then used clay, straw and beans to build their own house just like The 3 Little Pigs.
Such great focus and concentration.
Really imaginative and individual houses.
They did an amazing job and were very proud of their creations!
First week of 2019
It has been a busy first week back to school after the Christmas holidays.
Primary 1 have been …
Making patterns using beads.
Using the wooden blocks to build towers and compare their sizes.
Learning to read numbers in words and match then to the numeral. 
Investigating numbers and building a number line
In numeracy today we have been using numicon to build a number line and investigate number stories. 
Colour Mixing
Using paint ice cubes children investigated mixing different colours.
Children then used this knowledge of colour mixing to create an umbrella.
They chose two colours to paint their unberella then mixed them together to create a third colour.
We then talked about warm and cold colours. Everyone had great reasons for why they might be referred to being a hot or cold colour;
‘orange is like fire and that’s hot’
’yellow would be warm because it’s like the sun’
‘blue would be cold because it’s the same as cold sea water’
’white is cold like the snow’
Handa’s Surprise
Primary 1 have been reading Handa’s Surprise. We decided to taste the different fruits from the story then make a graph of our class favourites.
Literacy
Playing pairs when practising our story book words.
Lots of letter formation activities.
Spiderman broke into our classroom and captured the sound toys. We had to rescue them and sort them out into the correct boxes.
S is for sunflower.
Using the paint bags to practise letter formation.
Numeracy and Mathematics
We have been learning about patterns.
We have been using lots of different resources to create repeating patterns.
When learning about data handling we sorted the elephants into groups by colour and size.
