🧸Children in Need🧸

We had lots of fun on Children in Need Day.

🚀Bonfire Day Fun🚀

On Friday the 5th of November we had a fireworks theme in class. We made tricky words inside flying rockets,  practised writing our sounds and tricky words on a sparkling night sky.

We had fun writing our tricky words using pretend sparklers too! We also programmed Spheros to roll through paint to make a bonfire night sky.

Here is a peek at what our day looked like.

 

Adam and Robyn wanted to know…

Where does sea glass come from?

We have been using sea glass in lots of different loose part activities. Adam and Robyn wanted to find out how it was made and where it came from.

After some Google searching we learned that sea glass is made from glass objects that have been thrown into the sea or fallen in. The waves rub on the broken glass creating smooth edges and give it a frosted appearance. Most of the sea glass washed up on our shores have been in the sea for about 50 years.

We also discovered that lots of artists use it in collage pictures, sculptures and use it to make beautiful jewellery.  We decided to use it to create our own transient art pictures.

Well done boys and girls we all learned something new today.

Outdoor Learning

We have really enjoyed learning outside each Wednesday. This afternoon it got very wet but that didn’t stop us having LOTS of fun 🌧💜🍁🎃 Please remember to pack a dry set of clothes in your child’s bag so they can get changed if they get wet.

We have been making our own staircase number lines, which we think we are brilliant! 🌟👏

We went on a bear hunt, designed our own maps and we are now planning to write a story using our maps 🐻📚

We enjoyed some Halloween themed activities outside today 🎃

Every Wednesday afternoon we go outside for Muddy Movers. We work together to build obstacle courses and dens, some of the children have created a ‘Secret Club’ which sounds very interesting and we explore lots of resources, investigating how we can use them.

Well done boys and girls, what great learning and team work! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

🔤Tricky Words and Patterns🧮

In mathematic we have been working on the following Experience and Outcome.

I have spotted and explored patterns in my own and the wider environment and can copy and continue these and create my own patterns.

  • We can identify and describe patterns.
  • We can copy and continue repeated patterns using loose parts, flowers, Lego, blocks, peg boards
  • We created complex repeated patterns using numbers, colours and shapes.

In Literacy we have been focusing on the following Experience and Outcome.

I explore sounds, letters and words, discovering how they work together, and I can use what I learn to help me as I read and write.

We have explored and investigated what tricky words are.

We know they try to tick us when we sound them out.

We have practised remembering what they look like, writing them in different ways and scanning stories to find them.

Supertato Fun

Over the month of September and October we enjoyed reading the Supertato books by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. Following the children’s enthusiasm for the stories we linked the ideas in the text with the following experiences and outcomes. 

I enjoyed exploring and working with foods in different contexts TCH 0-04a  

I enjoyed experimenting with a range of textiles TCH 0-04b  

I shared my thoughts with others to help further develop ideas and solve problems. TCH 0-04c 

I explored everyday materials in the creation of pictures/models/concepts. 

TCH 0-10a 

From this we had lots of fun exploring, investigating and being very creative.

  • We used simple techniques with textiles and collage material when creating our characters for Supertato. We selected materials to design and create characters from vegetables, gluing materials to build our characters.
  • We discussed and described the materials by touching them, for example sticky, squidgy, soft, fluffy, hard, rough, wet, heavy and light.
  • We used a range of materials when creating pictures and models relating to the book study of Supertato. 

 

 

  • We demonstrates simple food preparation techniques such as peeling, slicing, mixing, spreading when making a fruit smoothie and using different vegetables to make soup.
  • We discussed what we could prepare or cook using different vegetables and fruits.
  • We made and followed rules to keep safe when using sharp knives and peelers.

September 2021

September has been a very creative month. Primary 1 have been designing and building using lots of different resources.

We also enjoyed our first Outdoor Learning Day. First of all we collected lots of natural resources to use in numeracy. We have been learning about staircase number lines and we all created our own. We played lots of fun number games and sang number songs.

I hope the children told you all about the tiger who came to visit the classroom! 🐯 After his visit we read The Tiger Who Came To Tea. Then we wrote about our favourite part of the story.

We all enjoyed playing in the rain during Muddy Movers. Some of us explored the gathered rain water, some of us wrote our names in the mud and others made their own seesaw.

We have been exploring patterns and designing our own and we continue to explore numbers to 20.

We are working hard to learn our tricky words. Please help us learn them at home by revising them each evening.

What a busy month we have had.

I am looking forward to our October learning 🎃 🌟 📚
