EWHCF Class of 2024

We learned to sequence different stories. – Ethan

Sequencing is when we split up bits of the story into the start, middle and the end. – Kerr

In Social Studies we were learning about different types of houses and matching the names and descriptions of the houses to the pictures. – Ismail

In P.E. we were learning to practise our catching and throwing skills with a partner. – Ava

In French we were practising our numbers with number fans and playing French Musical Bumps. – Sophie B

In Art we made a collage. We were all making different designs on our collages. – Cormac

A collage is when you use different materials and make a picture with it. – Evie

In Music we were using different instruments to make quieter and louder sounds.  We learned that this is called dynamics. – Arjun

In Maths, some groups have been finding out missing numbers to complete an addition calculation. – Finn

What a fantastic year it has been for Primary 1c! Every single person has grown so much throughout the year not just through their education but personally too! We have grown in confidence and believe we can achieve anything we want if we try our best!

Have a wonderful summer holiday Primary 1! I cannot wait to see you all back when you are in Primary 2.

Take care, have lots of fun and be safe!

Lots of love

Miss Amin 🙂

You may think school is nearly finishing, but everyone in class has continued to learn so many new things just before we finish up for the year! We are keen learners!

In Math’s we have been exploring place value in numbers – tens and units. Also, we have learnt about the greater than and less than sign and how to use it in different situations.

We were working in pairs and asking each other to add together two digit numbers together. They were tricky at first but it is very easy now to complete!

Exploring greater and less than signs!

We have developed our knowledge for symmetry too! We created our own symmetrical paintings using any shapes we wanted.

For our topic space, we went on a Planet Adventure. We chose one planet we wanted to explore in depth by reading different books and facts and then created a poster for it.

Lastly, since we are fantastic authors, we created and completed our Space non-fiction book!

2D shape

We have been exploring the properties of 2D shapes and using them to create patterns and pictures.

Space

We used information books to do some research about space and have been having a go at spelling lots of Space words.

Electricity

We have been looking at the importance of electricity in our lives and how it is important to keep safe around electricity. We created some safety posters and looked at how electricity is used in a range of different places.

We had a great time at the Science Centre on our journey into Space at the planetarium. We also enjoyed exploring all the different exhibits and learning lots of new things. Thank you very much to all the parent helpers who joined us on our trip, making it a great day.

We had so much fun at the Science Centre last week. The boys and girls are still talking about all of the exciting activities they got to take part in and were amazed with the Planeterium expereince. Thank you to all of our lovely helpers who kept us safe and answered lots of our questions.

What a great day we had exploring the Science Centre! We used all our knowledge about Space and explored it through so many different activities. We even got to visit the Planetarium. It made some of us feel a little bit dizzy as the moving images spun around us.

Happy faces as we set off in the coach to the Centre!

This is where we began to learn about all the different planets in the Solar System! We also learnt about light pollution and what causes it!

Afterwards, we had enough time to investigate and explore all the different areas and activities within the Science Centre. What a great day everyone had!

We had a fab day today exploring at the Science Centre. The boys and girls were on their best behaviour and had lots of fun investigating each of the stations. We thorougly enjoyed our time in the planetarium and got to see lots of constellations, some planets up close and learnt lots of new space facts. Lots of photos to follow but here a couple to get started.

Have a great weekend everyone and a well deserved rest!

We have been learning about Creative Writing through our Space topic. We have been practising extremely hard to use our phonemes and alternative sounds to make tricky words when we write a story. We have been making sure we sequence our story by having a beginning, middle and end!

An exciting activity we completed involved us making a Passport for our own Alien! We learnt about the properties within a Passport and created a detailed description about our alien.

We enjoyed reading about the ‘Purple Muncher’ which helped us write tricky words!

For another Writing activity, we imagined an Alien landing in our garden like the Purple Alien in the ‘Purple Muncher’ story. Our sentence began with – ‘If an alien landed in my garden I would…’

We then created an Art piece which showed our own Alien landing in our garden using different textures, materials and colours.

We were writing descriptive words about an Alien we created. We used words like bumpy, slimy, smelly, tall and small.

Throughout the week, we have been reading ‘Aliens Loves Underpants’. Using our knowledge about the events within the book, we wrote a creative story about our Alien wearing and stealing pants from Earth!

After creating our Writing piece, we made our own fancy underpants and alien just like the story.

Well done to everyone for all their hard work whilst writing creative stories!

We have been so excited this week to learn about Space! We couldn’t believe it when our class got a phone call from the office on Monday telling us there was a mysterious delivery for us to collect from the office.  It was a letter from Sporkle, an alien from outside the Solar system, asking us to share information about ourselves,  the sun, moon, stars and planets.  We thought it would be a good idea to make Sporkle a book with lots of information, and we’ve started our book!

Ollie and Omar, our stars of the week, collected the special delivery from the office and read out the letter!

We made a mindmap of questions we’d like to know the answers to all about Space.

Abu-Huraira wanted to learn what the moon was made of.  We read books, watched a text and found information. We know the moon can look different shapes in the sky but it’s always a sphere.

Ava wanted to learn about gravity. We discovered that there is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth which is why astronauts can seem to float! We set up a test to learn about forces. We dropped objects from our shoulder height and noted if they fell quickly, fell slowly or bounced. We made predictions and checked our findings!

We have been creative in the play areas too. We designed our own collage planets and gave them a name.

We  read Space books and recorded facts in our talking tins.

We have also enjoyed reading a fiction text together about an alien visiting us. We made book covers and discussed ideas for what might happen if an alien landed in our garden on a spaceship.  We are looking forward to writing this story and making our own own fiction alien book.

We can’t wait to show you our finished fiction books!
