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!

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!

 

 

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.

       

Our P5 buddies popped in to visit us in our classroom. We read books, made models and played together.

After reading the Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson, we made our own Gruffalo puppets to play with.

Working on jigsaws,puzzles and building models individually or with others is a great way to build natural problem-solving strategies.

We had fun trying to find some of our tricky words in books from our class library. It helps us develop our skimming and scanning reading skills.
