The boys and girls in the green squares are learning to add within 10.
They found how many pieces of fruit all together and are learning to recognise the addition sign and equals sign. They had a go at writing the calculation too!
Amazing
Yesterday afternoon the Giraffes were out enjoying a lovely autumn day! We had a chat about what we knew about autumn. We spotted lots of beautifully coloured leaves lying on the ground and so we went on a nature walk, collecting lots of them to make an autumn collage!
The Tigers asked to go out to the mud kitchen today! They were able to follow the mud paint recipe from the board and made their own paint!
Some of the children have been enjoying exploring the water. They have been pouring water through the guttering and catching it at the bottom. They had lots of chat around full and empty while they were pouring. They took turns doing each job and they worked so well together!
We had a lovely return to school after the October week with lots of lovely creative tasks outside! The Panthers have been talking lots about Autumn and the changes that we can see in the world around us. We went on a nature walk around the school, collecting lots of beautifully coloured fallen leaves. We found leaves that were green, yellow, orange, red and brown. 
We used the things that we found to create wonderful autumn pictures!
The Tigers made mud paint today! We measured out 3 tablespoons of mud and added a tablespoon of powdered paint to it. We mixed it together with some water and made some very interestingly coloured muddy paint! We painted some very scary Halloween pictures with it!
Check in again tomorrow to see our pictures when they’re dry!
The girls chose to make a castle from the 3D shapes this morning, what a masterpiece!
Primary 1 have been learning about using non-standard units of measure to measure classroom objects.
Today the Blue Rectangles measured objects in the classroom using paper clip chains. They used their amazing fine motor skills to create the paper clip chains.
The Purple Triangles and Green Squares were working together today, they measure each other using elephant chains.
Today the Tigers were outside collecting leaves. We found leaves of lots of different shapes and colours! We brought our leaves inside to make pressed pictures, we can’t wait to show you once they’re ready!
It has been very wet outside this week so we haven’t been able to take many pictures with the iPad but we’ve still been taking our learning outside!
The Tigers continued their search for carrots in the planters. They learned to identify the leaves from the top of the carrots so that they knew where they would be able to find them!
Some of the Giraffes have been experimenting with force. They rolled the tyres up to the top of the hill and let them go. They took turns at estimating how far they thought the tyres would roll!
Martin and Annabelle couldn’t believe how strong the wind was! They found leaves and held them up in the air to see the wind blow them away. They were able to tell which way the wind was blowing by watching which way the leaves flew.
Some of the girls started building a castle using the blocks. Queen Lilja asked the girls to make a bed that she could lie on in the castle and the girls managed to make two beds, one for the Queen and one for her pet dog! They tested their beds by having a go at lying on them! Well done girls!
Some of the children were helping to weed the planters. We found lots of worms and some carrots! This group also learned to identify the leaves from the top of the carrots and used this to help them to find more!
Jack and Kyle had a jumping competition! They jumped together to see who could jump the highest!
Lacy made a swing! She used some material that was tied around the climbing frame to make a seat and she spent lots of time swinging backwards and forwards. Well done Lacy!
This morning the boys and girls in Primary 1 have been blending! The girls were fantastic at making the words and sounding them out.
Thank you so much to the Parent Council for our movie afternoon and our movie snacks!
We’ve had some lovely sessions outside this week!
All groups have had turns at getting the pots filled ready for planting. We planted spring onions and radishes and we will be keeping an eye on them making sure they get plenty of water to help them grow!
Some of the Panthers were experimenting with the equipment to make their own slides. They had great fun sliding down the different combinations!
Some of the Giraffes made a band! They used the different instruments to make a beat and Lorena made up a song to sing!
Some of the Tigers were experimenting with the water. They made a water slide with it and poured it down, catching as much of it as they could at the bottom! They noticed the numbers on the side of the measuring jug and learned that it was a scale to show them how much water they had caught!
The Tigers also used some of our new outdoor books to choose projects for us to complete and also to identify some of the insects that we found! We found a slug and a spider and we looked them up in the bug book and read about them.
Fantastic work this week Primary 1!
