Good morning primary 1/2.

It’s Friday already and I have been so proud of all your hard work this week. It’s been a very strange week but it’s been so good to have our google classroom so that we can all keep in touch.

Try some of our activities if you have time.

I’m going to start my day with Joe Wicks although my legs are a bit sore! He makes me work very hard!

Have a good day 😁

PLEASE try to log in to our classroom today if you can.  If you are finding this hard, please email the school and we can help you.  All web links are there and the children are chatting with each other which is really lovely.

I’ll post a few screenshots of what is on our classroom today.

Bye for now,

Mrs Powell

Today we are thinking about …

TRICKY WORDS

Here are the tricky words I would like you to spell today …

the
in
it
she
we
be
they

You could rainbow write them in your jotter – just like we do in class.

Challenge – Can you use one of the words in a sentence?

READING

As I can’t give out books in school at the moment, why don’t we try this fantastic website!

It is called Epic!

I will give you 2 books a week to read.

Class Log In Instructions:

Open up web browser
Go to www.getepic.com/students
Log in with your class code – xpn5384
You can use this website from 9am to 3pm.
Select your name and you are in!

Check your mailbox for the book you have been assigned.

Today, everyone will see ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ – this is the book we read in class last week and giggled about! 😂

MATHS

We have been learning our doubles in class.
Can you write the doubles out in your jotter today? 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3=6
Or can you draw a butterfly and make each wing have the same number of spots – learning about symmetry and doubles! 👏
Write the calculation to match your wings. Have a look at the blue butterfly for an idea.
Let me know how you get on!

 

XA Factor 2020

XA FACTOR 2020

Well done girls for making it through to the LIVE FINAL!

We were so proud of you both 😍

Nervously awaiting the results …

And …. they were third!

What a fantastic result out of so many wonderful contestants.

Your rendition of ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ was beautiful.

Very well done 🤩

February in P1/2

FEBRUARY has been another busy month!

We have been learning our doubles using spots on the ladybirds.  This also made us think about symmetry.

We learned new things about Chinese New Year and talked about The Great Race.  We looked at some very interesting Chinese artefacts.

      

We have been working really hard on our coordination skills in the Gym Hall and now we are learning about the sport of badminton.

We created some beautiful pinch pots using clay.  We filled these with love heart chocolates and gave them to people we love on Valentine’s Day!

We loved every second of our adventure walk!  So many little rivers to walk through and so many interesting things to talk about.  We can’t wait to go again!

 

      

      

      

      

We have been thinking about correct letter formation and these resources have really helped us.

 

Alphabetical order activities …

Can you count to 10p?  Let’s play shops!

This amazing engineer made a wonderful bridge.  Well done!

The End of January 2020

We’ve had a very busy and fun January!

Here are some of the highlights …

Dancing the Gay Gordons and The Canadian Barn Dance with our friends from Primary 2.

Creating tartan with our Buddies from P5 – paper weaving and painting with cars wheels and brushes.

  

  

  

Trying on some Scottish clothes.

   

Making  tartan scarves for our soft toys.

   

    

    

     

Making our very own oatcakes and shortbread – we loved tasting these during our Scottish Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

   

    

     

     

     

      

Going for big walks around our school grounds – looking for rocks, birds, funny looking trees and muddy puddles!

Learning about a career as a vet from Shona and her dog Coo.

   

    

    

     

     

 

PHEW!!  It’s been busy!

 

 

January 2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It was lovely to be back in class with P1/2 today.  All the children were very kind and helpful.

Everyone was happy to see their friends and we all worked very hard!

Everything in the room has changed around and we were all excited to try out new things.

We enjoyed creating patterns with 2D shapes and pins.

Our new Library was really popular today!

We talked about our favourite stories and we will display our drawings in the new Library corner.

   

    

Learning about 3D shapes…

Having a chat with our friends in our new Home Corner.

   

    

    

The girls loved the new writing area.

     

      

       

       

We created lots of interesting artwork ion the new art area.
