Easter is approaching and you may be able to tell in our classroom!

We have created our Home Corner into an Easter Home! We have made signs, posters and Easter Masks! We are also learning about the importance of Easter too.

We have been learning about warm and cool colours! Using this knowledge, we discussed Spring colours and plants too! We drew a rabbit in detail discussing shapes and painted flowers.

Our love for Painting has grown so much that we have developed a designated painting area against the window!

In Literacy, we continue to explore sounds and practise our blending skills to read tricky words.

We have been learning about Speech Bubbles and their purpose!

We are becoming super confident at recognising phonemes and using our knowledge of these sounds to create words.

In the library, we enjoy reading non-fiction books with our friends!

We have been practising our reading skills! We use our book to help us answer questions.

In Writing, we have been exploring how to use openers whilst remembering to use punctuation!

We are securing our knowledge of number bonds up to 10. We have been using Numicon to add and subtract amounts, to practise our subitising skills or to make number bonds.

We are learning how to solve the missing number in a calculation!

Although we are super confident at using a number line to solve calculations, we are practising to use our mental maths skills!

WOODLAND!

We love exploring the woodland area!

We have noticed changes in the Woodland area since Winter!

We notice plants beginning to grow, the leaves are appearing too!

We were reinforcing our learning for Forces – push and pull!

We were using our imagination to create stories and we made apple cake!

Parent’s Evening was incredibly positive! I hope you are all proud of your superstars for working so hard in Primary One. I know they will continue to make you proud just as much as they make me proud!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!xxx

 

 

Welcome back to our blog!

We are having so much exploring Art through Painting. This week we created a Geometric Painting using tape. We created different shapes and then painted within the lines.

Scroll below to see our amazing and artistic paintings once we removed the tape!

We also discussed warm colours and cool colours!

During Outdoor learning, we made potions to enable us to paint!

We were painting a number line!

In Maths we have been exploring Money. We have been learning to make amounts using coins and learning about change which links with subtraction!

 

Continuing on with Science week from last week, we were exploring Materials. We learnt about what different objects are made from and learnt how to identify different materials correctly such as Wood, Metal, Plastic and Glass!

We have been using our knowledge of sounds to read non-fiction books about Materials.

‘This is glass’.

‘This is metal and the leaf is man-made.’

‘The fence is made out of wood.’

‘We are playing on metal.’

‘The tyre is rubber.’

The sun is shining which means our Outdoor PE lessons are extremely popular outdoors!

Our PE days are Monday and Thursday as is our Outdoor Learning Days.

Another fun filled week of learning, I wonder what will happen next week!

Have a great weekend superstars!

 

Welcome back to our blog! You will see another blog filled with amazing learning experiences completed throughout the week.

To help extend our ideas and vocabulary, we have began writing sequenced stories. We have to include a beginning, middle and end.

We make sure we remember to have neat handwriting, finger spaces and to use full stops and capital letters correctly. We are beginning to use openers such as First, After, Next and Finally.

To help us write and read tricky words, we use our knowledge of sounds including phonemes such as sh, ch and th.

Last week we explored Pointillism as we painted a Spring Painting! This week we have continued this to make a cherry blossom tree!

In Maths, we have continued to learn about number bonds. We have focused on adding three numbers too!

In the tuff spot, we were making Symmetrical Pictures and using mirrors to help us!

We are practising to add numbers together using our fingers, number lines and concrete materials. We are recognising to start with the bigger number.

To help us recognise 3D shapes, we tried creating our own using cocktail sticks and chickpeas!

Science week has been so much fun! We have been exploring lots of experiments!

To encourage our creativity, problem-solving skills and engineering skills we were creating models! The trickiest part was ensuring our structure was stable!

We also completed the Coca-Cola and Mentos experiment! We made predictions and hypothesis before we completed the experiment! We were real Scientists. We learnt about gas (Carbon Dioxide) and observed that the bubbles of gas had gotten larger. We realised as they are lighter than the cola liquid, they quickly shot to the top of the bottle!

This week could not have been busier! What a great week it has been!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 🙂

Welcome back to our blog this week! What a fun filled week it has been especially with World Book Day!

For World Book Day, we have enjoyed a variety of activities whilst reinforcing our reading skills and love for books. To test our knowledge of books we completed a Book Quiz, scavenger book hunt to locate information and completed Yoga whilst listening to a story.

Not only that, we drew a sketch of What the Ladybird Heard? with the illustrator Lydia Monks! We also made bookmarks and headbands for the story!

We are continuing to learn all of the phonemes. We learn how to say the sound, recognise it and ensure we are able to word build with a sound.

We play games to help our fluency and recognition of sounds!

We love exploring and reading new books! We use our reading books to not only practise reading, but to help with our understanding and comprehension.

Within Maths we are building on our knowledge for addition and subtraction!

Everyday we practise our number bonds to ensure we can give a rapid recall of number bonds for a given number.

We love learning through multi-sensory activities. We have to trace our answer to our addition calculation within the flour.

As Spring has finally arrived, we explored Pointillism to create a Spring painting. We had freedom to create a Spring Painting using dots only!

We have settled back in to school extremely well. We are so happy to be reunited with our friends and to play within our classroom again.

To help talk about our feelings and emotions, we explored Inside Out and created a feelings charter. Every morning when we arrive into class, we record how we feel!

What an amazing week it has been for us! We cannot wait for Monday already!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
