Numeracy 🌟

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about right angles. We know they have 90 degrees, that a right angle turn means the same as a quarter turn and we can identify them in the environment. We were very excited to make our own right angle checkers and go exploring outside for right angles.

We have also been exploring symmetry and patterns. We are able to identify lines of symmetry in everyday objects and shapes and also in nature. We loved painting our own symmetrical butterflies 🦋 We can all identify a simple pattern, continue patterns and create our own.

Finally, we have been busy learning about directions. Using the arrow keys on Blue-bot we programmed him to go to different places on the mats. We confidently use the terms forwards, backwards, left and right turns and we are getting increasingly confident in saying ‘quarter turn’ and ‘90 degree right angle turn’.

You have all worked so hard, well done Primary 1! 🌟

Fun outside!

Today we have had lots of fun outside. We have been making sure our number formation is correct by using chalk to write numbers to 10 on the playground. Then we went on an orienteering adventure to find and write each number we found.

After lunch we went to Muddy Movers. There was lots of exploring, bug hunting, making potions, den building and experimenting with balancing.
