We have had another busy week in P1C! This week, we have been working hard consolidating and learning new sounds and tricky words. We have enjoyed a wide range of activities and here we are finding our sounds and tricky words in our favourite books from our library.

For our Seaside Topic, we created an amazing lighthouse for our class and a super ocean mural. We had to take great care cutting and sticking to help create our colourful lighthouse and sea creatures.

We had great fun preparing our sandwiches for our picnic. We made sure we used our knife safely and took great care when spreading our jam or butter. We also made sure we cut our sandwiches super carefully! We had lots of yummy flavours like ham, cheese and jam! We enjoyed our picnic outdoors, were we enjoyed our super sandwiches, some biscuits and a story.

We have enjoyed exploring colour and looked at how we mix colours to create new ones. We have also looked at how the season is changing and we have noticed that the leaves are starting to fall of the tree and we were inspired by this to create a lovely Autumn painting.

In Music, we have enjoyed exploring sound and we have been using foam tubes to create different sounds.

For Maths Week Scotland, we enjoyed exploring pattern and  STEMAZING structures, we had to build a structure that could hold five books. We noticed that using cylinders made our structure much stronger and stable. We also enjoyed finding shapes outside on our shape hunt.

 

 

We have had another busy week in P1C!

This week we have been introduced to our new sounds S, A and T and we have enjoyed exploring a range of activities to help  consolidate our sounds. We have also been working hard on our tricky words and have enjoyed playing different games to help us identify them.

 

We have been working hard to identify numbers before and after a given number and have been learning how to estimate quantities.

We are continuing to develop our digital technology skills and enjoyed using the bee-bots and mats to direct the bee-bot to a certain location.

  

This week we started our Seaside topic, we read the ‘Lighthouse Keepers Lunch’ by Ronda and David Armitage and we discussed the importance of Lighthouses and what they are used for. We designed our own Lighthouses so that we can use our designs to build one for our classroom. We also created amazing Lighthouses in our construction area and in our garden.

We had great fun outdoors where we had lots of sand cakes, mud ice-cream, buildings and obstacle courses.

This week Primary 1C have decided on their first IDL topic. We will be learning about The Seaside and we have already chosen to learn about shells, sea creatures, why the water has waves and also why it is salty. We are also interested in treasure and using a metal detector to find some.

We have enjoyed making playdough, creating crowns, rings and handbags in our creative area and building in our construction area.

   

In Literacy and English we have been working hard matching words that rhyme. We have enjoyed identifying rhyming objects, matched the rhyming  word to the correct rhyme house and played games to consolidate our learning.

   

In Numeracy and Mathes, we have continued learning to recognise numbers 1-20 and practised sequencing numbers and  identifying the missing number. We have also looked at the number before and after and used the number fans in class for the first time.

   

   

   

In Health and Wellbeing we are developing our Growth Mindset. We spoke about not giving up when we are stuck and we used our jackets to help us learn about this. We worked with our partners and helped each other if we found it difficult to get our jacket on. Mrs Agnew and Miss Regan did make it extra challenging by turning our sleeves inside out 🙂

   

   

   

We also had great fun outdoors this week! Our kitchen was open again with lots of tasty mud pies and ice-cream on the menu. We also displayed some great problem solving and building outdoors this week too.

   

   

    

   

   

Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our ‘Meet the Teacher’ event on Wednesday evening. The SWAY presentation will be e-mailed to all parents and carers to ensure those who were unable to attend do not miss any information.

The children have worked extremely hard on their self-portraits and many parents/carers enjoyed looking at them. We wanted to share our beautiful art with all parents/carers 🙂

What a wonderful and busy week we have had in Primary 1C. The sun has been shining and we have had a lovely time outside in our garden and Muga.

This week we have continued with Phonological Awareness and have been learning about syllables. We have also practised making our names with magnetic letters and scrabbles tiles. On Wednesday we told Mrs Agnew or Miss Regan an imaginative story of our choice and they wrote it down. Next week we will act out some of our stories!

We have continued with numbers 1-10 and have been enjoying different activities to help us count along with recognising the number as a numeral or a word.

We have continued to explore the areas in our classroom.

   

   

   

Our story of the week has been The Colour Monster. We have been learning about different feelings such as happiness, sadness and fear. We discussed times where we felt different feelings and drew pictures of them in our jars. We also painted a Colour Monster to show how we were feeling.

On Monday we went to the Multipurpose room and enjoyed some drama games. We played a game called ‘Who’s Shoes?’ and took turns to act out a person. There were firemen, paramedics, racing car drivers, farmers and artists!

    

On Friday morning we enjoyed the sunshine in our Primary 1 garden. We enjoyed exploring the areas and lots of us decided to create our own garden area with the stones.

   

   

   

   

    

We played parachute games in the Muga on Friday. We were incredibly excited trying to keep the ball on the parachute and loved playing cat and mouse. There was lots of teamwork involved!
