Primary 1/1 are back and have settled right back into our class routines and are working hard as ever!

 

We have been working on our digital skills. From this term, we will be accessing our DigiSpace every Tuesday to begin developing computer skills. The class have learned the importance of keeping passwords safe and have all been able to log into the computers using our class login. In just three weeks the class can also open the internet, click and drag to play games, close a window and log out. We love digital technology🖥⌨️!

At Muddy Movers, we have been getting back into team-working and using clear communication with others. Some of us made a water run together and used various parts to do this. The class love being inquisitive and exploring the areas outdoors🍃.

Making a worm pool🪱.

Cementing the mud kitchen back together with mud🧱.

Exploring push and pull forces with a car ramp🚗.

Trying to balance!

We have been discussing different emotions in Health and Wellbeing and sharing what makes us feel this way. We identified times we have felt happy, sad, scared, excited and worried. We read ‘The Worry Monster,’ story and we have our very own Worry Monster in class🌈. The class are free to write or draw worries, then the monster eats these! We have also identified ways we can help each other when we feel worried and identified people we can talk to when we feel this way.

Primary 1 are currently learning about our local area. We took a trip round to the big playground to explore our surroundings and compare our playground to this one. The class also made excellent links with Maths. We are learning direction and when showing the class the school on Google Earth, some were able to press the arrows to give directions to their house🗺. Super work!

We are working on our fitness in P.E. and have enjoyed stretching, races and games🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽.

For Robert Burns’ Day, we learned about the poet and listened to some songs and stories in Scots Language. The class enjoyed listening to Scottish music and learning some Scottish dance moves💃🏼! We even had a piece of shortbread to celebrate🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

With Chinese New Year coming up, the class made Chinese lanterns with Mrs McMillan and have enjoyed exploring some traditional Chinese household items🇨🇳🏮.

In our Maths area we have enjoyed exploring these new, colourful shapes. These have been used on our light box to mix colours, used as goggles to see things in different colours, used for building things and for making patterns and faces😁☹️🔺◽️.

Here’s to a great 2022✨.
