We have had a wonderful week in P1B and have enjoyed lots of painting, exploring and learning.

We drew a self-portrait and then created a colourful background for it by painting different coloured shapes.

Our self-portraits are now proudly displayed in our classroom.

We have been reading The Colour Monster and discussing each of the emotions from the story. We have learned what each of these emotions might look like and how we respond if we are feeling a particular one. We painted our own Colour Monster the colour of how we were feeling at that time. Next week, we will be thinking of a time we felt a particular emotion and drawing a picture of it.

In Literacy we have enjoyed the story ‘Spinderella’ by Julia Donaldson. Mrs Agnew read part of the story and we had to use our imagination to predict was happened next. We drew our predictions in our Literacy jotters and then shared our predictions with the class.

In Numeracy and Maths we have been doing lots of different activities to help with our number recognition. We used the number fans for the first time and enjoyed searching through the fan for a number.

We have continued to explore our classroom areas and enjoyed being creative and curious!

     

     

     

We have had a wonderful start to Primary 1 and everyone has settled in so well. We are learning the routines of our class and the school and have enjoyed exploring our new environment.

We are still getting to know each other and enjoyed a lovely Circle Time this week were we shared what we like to do outside of school and also something that is very special to us!

Here are some photos of us playing and exploring the different areas in our classroom.

     

     

     

     

We have been discussing our families. We have shared with each other who is in our family and discussed that families can look different. The most important thing about a family is that we feel safe and loved! We drew a portrait of our family and were so excited to see them on the wall in our classroom 🙂

We have been learning about the Rights of the Child and this links in with our Class Charter. To help us understand this we have been reading Elmer. Elmer is different from the other elephants. We learned that we are all different but we all have the same rights. We coloured in our own ‘Elmer’ to display on our Class Charter.

We went for a Listening Walk and had to listen carefully to what we could hear. We heard cars, birds, the trees moving in the wind and also a drill! When we returned to class we drew a picture of what we had heard.

   

In PE we have been concentrating on the rules of PE and how we can stay safe. We have enjoying games and loved playing with the parachute. Our favourite game was trying to keep the balls on the parachute!

    

     

Miss Regan will be teaching us about Coding over the next few weeks. She brought the Indi Cars into class and we loved exploring with them. Each of the different coloured squares give the car a different instruction. We will learn more about the coloured squares and begin to provide a set of instructions to program the car.
