It has been another busy week in P1C! This week was anti-bullying week and the theme was ‘I Am Me’. In class, we spoke about what makes us ‘us’ and we discussed our similarities and differences. Also as part of anti-bullying week, Primary 7 completed some activities with us during PE  to help us understand what it might be like to have a disability.

This week in Numeracy and Maths, we have been continuing to identify coins and make different amounts of money. We have also been counting in 2’s and creating our own addition calculation chains.

In PE in the Muga, we enjoyed working as a team to complete different challenges.

We also had great fun at Woodland, we enjoyed looking for animals and bugs using the binoculars and bug catchers from the woodland trolley and we of course loved jumping in the muddy puddles!

We have had a great week celebrating Book Week Scotland. Our story of the week was One Button Benny’ by Alan Windram, which we really enjoyed!

We predicted what Benny’s button might do when he presses it. We also created our own robots and wrote about them. In our creative area, we made Benny out of lots of materials such as felt and tissue paper.

   

We then created Benny out of toilet roll tubes and gave him a special shiny button..

   

   

   

    

We enjoyed hunting for different items in books and discussing our likes and dislikes of different books. This week we also discussed fiction and non-fiction texts and  we learnt that non-fiction books can tell us facts. We used our reading books to help us find out information.

We also enjoyed looking through our new book bags and reading our new books with our P6 buddies.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

In Numeracy and Maths we use lots of different resources to help us learn. Here we are using our number cards to help us count in twos!

    

In PE, we have started Gymnastics and we have been exploring different movements using the equipment.

   

   

    

In Health and Wellbeing we have been learning about friendship. We have discussed what it means to be a good friend and what we like and dislike our friends doing. We have also learned about sharing and treating our friends with respect.

 

We have had another great week in P1C! We have really enjoyed reading our reading books and this week we were learning all about prediction. We learnt that we need to make a prediction that relates to the story and we enjoyed predicting what might happen in our reading books. We are continuing to work hard learning all our sounds and common words.

This week, we have continued to learn about money and we have been recognising and ordering all coins to £2. We have also been exploring addition and enjoyed creating our own calculations.

We learnt all about floating and sinking this week and we really enjoyed predicting what items will float or sink. We were very surprised by some of the items that floated and some of the items that sank. From our experiment, we learnt that items float or sink because of their density and we know that buoyant objects float and dense objects sink.
