People who help us

When learning about the people in our community who can help us Primary 1 were very lucky to have visitors from a variety of jobs.

They learnt lots about possible jobs for when they grow up and how they help others in the community.

Recycling 

Mr Williams talked to us about the importance of recycling on our environment and how to keep our planet healthy.

We then went to clean up our playground and sort the rubbish.
We used a Pictogram and a Carroll Diagram to sort the rubbish into groups.

Police

We had a visit from PC McFarlane who explained all the amazing things that the police do for our community. It was particularly exciting to hear about the canine unit and the mounted police.

We even got to try on the uniform, and try out the hand cuffs and baton !

 


 

Vet


Yesterday we had a visit from the local vet Shona and her lovely dog Coo.


We learnt a lot about the different aspects of being a vet and the animals you get to care for. We also learnt that it takes 5 years at university to become a vet, but it’s worth all the hard work as it’s a great job!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We looked at models of different parts of a dogs body and got to use the instruments to listen to Koo’s heart.

Her favourite toy was the ball, she kept asking for it to be thrown!

Thank you very much for coming to visit us!

November in a nutshell

It has been a busy few weeks in Primary 1. This is some of what we have been up to.

Using the the new white board to practise our sounds and writing new words. It’s a big improvement from the old board and we are loving it!

We have been learning about capital letters and letter names.

Working really hard to learn our core reading book words.

 

We have also been learning all about our 5 senses, we made a hand using different textures and materials.

Super Hero Party

A few pictures from our super hero party. There were many more activities going on but we were all having so much fun we forgot to document them.

We visited our buddies to show them our costumes and got to tell them all about our favourite super hero.

We had a super hero parade.

We also got to taste some healthy snacks that would be important for a super hero, design our own cuffs and masks as well as explore different materials that would make a good super hero costume.

Muddy Movers

We have been developing our gross motor skills, working together with our friends and exploring maths in real life contexts, all while playing outside in the school garden!

 

  

 

  

 

 

 

Some children found insects in the grass where they were building a slide so decided to relocate them to a safer place.
