We had a fabulous day out at the Science Centre this week. Thank you so much to our parent helpers who came along.

We were very excited to go on the bus…

When we arrived at the Science Centre, we went straight to the Pod for our workshop. The Science Centre teachers were very impressed with our knowledge of our senses.

We had a safety talk …

 

 

 

 

 

And then we went outside to the Urban Meadow to see what we could feel, hear, see and smell – we were told in the safety talk not to taste anything!

It was really hard work, so we were glad to stop for our snack.

The rest of the day was spent exploring the Science Malls.

We had the best day and we will continue with the workshop learning back in class as the Science Centre have kindly provided us with lots of lesson ideas.

This week in P1a we have been working on our number formation.

Learning about camouflage and creating camouflaged creatures.

We played colour bingo in French

Welcomed our grown ups in for Pop in and Play.

Our Drawing Club book this week was The Hairy Toe. We used the metal loose parts to create traps for the monster.

We were estimating and ordering numbers using the Dienes materials.

And we explored the classroom play areas.

I hope everyone has a fabulous October break – remember we are off to the Science Centre on the first day back!

This week we have been working on our number skills and linking into the Maths in Motion theme of Maths Week Scotland. We were ordering numbers to 20 and beyond and then we completed a task to choose three numbers, order them from smallest to largest and create a movement sequence to match our numbers.

We have also been investigating length using standard and non standard units of measurement. We compared our shoe sizes and placed ourselves in order from smallest shoe to biggest shoe.

In our Wasps v Spiders Topic work we have been comparing Wasps and Bees, creating insects using pastels and tile printing.

Outdoors, we still managed to develop our skills while sheltering from the rain and then the sun came our in time for us to investigate  magnetism.

We look forward to welcoming you all next Tuesday afternoon to Pop in and Play.
