Primary 1/1 have been working very hard this month. We have learned new sounds, tricky words and had lots of number work🔡🔢.
On our outdoor day🌿, we have had a focus on measure and 2D shape📏🔺. We used big chalk to draw different sized lines outside and we measured them using cubes and linking elephants. We were then able to discuss who had the longest and shortest lines and which lines were longer or shorter than others.
We continued to explore this inside when we found the Giant’s footprint from Jack and the Beanstalk🦶🏼🌱. We measured, again, with cubes and linking elephants.
Then we had the challenge of trying to find things longer or shorter than the Giant’s footprint.
We have also been having a look at 2D shapes. We went on a shape hunt around our playground and found so many shapes🔎. Well done Primary 1!
Thank you to those of you who managed to come along to our Open Afternoon😊. The class thoroughly enjoyed showing you all of their work they had been doing and having you there to support their learning.
The class continued to explore measure and worked with each other to draw around each other’s feet to measure using cubes. They also designed their own beanstalks and put the correct number of magic beans onto each leaf.
In Science, we have been looking at living things🐌💐. Last week we used an app on the iPad called ‘Seek.’ We explored the upper playground for flowers and took pictures of these. The app then told us which flower families these belonged to and gave us some information about which season these flowers grow best in. We can’t wait to keep exploring this app.
We have started to brush our teeth in class🦷. We have discussed the importance of having healthy teeth and all of the class brushed their teeth very well! This is the song we use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCio_xVlgQ0
Well done for a super September Primary 1/1. I am excited to see what we learn in October🍂.
Miss Payne⭐️.
