It was lovely welcoming all the children back today after the Christmas holidays. I hope we all have a happy and healthy 2022 ❤️
We all tried really hard to use our phonics knowledge to write our own holiday news today. Great work Primary One! 🌟🌟🌟
Then we continued exploring numbers up to 20 in Numeracy. It was tricky putting 4 or 5 numbers in order forwards and backwards.
After lunch we loved exploring the ice and frost outside. But our fingers got cold quite quickly!
We had a fantastic day watching a pantomime in the morning and having our Christmas party in the afternoon. As we have been such a great class Santa came to visit us. He enjoyed our singing.
We had lots of fun on Children in Need Day.
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.
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.
Over the last few weeks we have been exploring 2D shapes. We have worked on identifying simple 2D shapes and learning about hexagons and pentagons. We used 2D shapes to create pictures and make patterns.
🎃👻We enjoyed celebrating Hallowe’en on Friday!👻🎃
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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
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.
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.
