It is Road Safety Week and so the JRSO’s came into class to talk about how to safely cross the road. We then went down to the cycle track with them so that they could show us the safest way to cross at the Zebra Crossing.              

We then had PC Mitchell our Campus Cop at assembly and she was really impressed with our road safety knowledge.

In our literacy lessons this week we have been learning and using our new sounds ie, ee and or. We have used the talking tins to help us learn our common words and Drawing Club this week was all about Road Runner when we created a home for the Coyote.

In maths we have been investigating money. We have identified and ordered coins, learned that 100 pennies is much easier to carry as a £1 coin and we sorted money into the till.

In our Outdoor Science Lesson, we were investigating water, we had to work out the most efficient ways to move water around the area.

Here are some more photos of this week’s learning.

We have had such an exciting week in P1A.

We celebrated Scottish Book Week with a trip to Mearns Library. Where we were gifted our book bags. Our Drawing Club lessons this week were based around the story of the Five Bears and we acted out the story, drew ourselves as bears and planned a VERY nice day out just like the bears in the story.

We were so lucky to get to spend time with our Buddies working together to create Supertato – we hope you liked them!

It has also been Anti-Bullying Week so we read about Simon Sock and that it is ok to be different then we created our own socks.

We talked about how bullying is not just physical and sometimes words can hurt just as much (if not more). We created a kindness paper chain with all of the kind words that we use.

In literacy, we learned three new sounds this week – ai, j and oa and we have completed lots of activities with our reading books.

In Numeracy we have been building numbers in lots of different ways and learning how to write the number names in words.

                                                  But, we  have still had lots of time to play!

This week we were so lucky with the weather when we went to the woodland with Miss Hutcheson.

In RME we have been learning about Festivals of Light – this week we have learned about Diwali. We have made Rangoli Patterns and Mendhi, created a building and decorated it with candles and lots of colour for Diwali. Our Drawing Club book for this week was “The Best Diwali Ever”, we designed our perfect festival outfit and drew pictures of our houses decorated for the celebrations.

In Maths we have been conducting surveys and learning how to use tally marks to record information.

I hope everyone has a restful weekend and look forward to another great week of learning.
