What a week of Easter fun we have had in P1C this week. We began our week learning about The Easter Story and demonstrated our sequencing skills by putting the pictures of the story in order. We discussed what Easter means to us and different ways Easter can be celebrated.

We loved demonstrating our creative side by decorating some eggs and colouring in our own.

   

    

We designed our own Easter cards and then wrote them to a special person. We discussed how we write a card and what is important to include in a card.

   

   

   

    

    

In Numeracy and Maths we have been learning about 2D shapes and 3D objects. We have been exploring the features of shapes and explored what 3D objects can stack and roll. Some of us created pictures with 2D shapes whilst others had a go at building a model with 3D objects.

   

   

   

   

We had a lovely morning on Friday exploring the garden and then enjoyed a short film on Friday afternoon as a treat.

   

   

   

   

   

    

   

    

We hope everyone has a lovely break and we look forward to seeing you and hearing what you did when you return to school.

Superworm is super strong! We have really enjoyed our story of the week and have been completing lots of activities around this story. On Monday we went on a Minibeast hunt in the woodland and the garden areas around the school. We didn’t find many butterflies or bees but we did manage to find worms, spiders, flies and woodlice.

   

   

   

   

    

On Tuesday we created our own superworm by collecting our own stick from outside and then decorating it and adding some googly eyes!

   

   

   

   

   

    

On Wednesday during gymnastics we focused on balancing and control. We completed handstands against the wall, forward and backward rolls, balancing across an obstacle and also a jump of our choice off the springboard. We also showed we could use the equipment safely by following some careful instructions.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  

During Literacy this week some of us have been focusing on our sounds by drawing something beginning with that sound. We have also been building our own words with a sound and then drawing a picture of that. In writing, we wrote about what we did at the weekend and followed our rules of writing by making sure we had a capital letter at the start of our sentence, a full stop at the end and a finger spaces between each of the words.

    

In Mathematics this week some of us have been creating our own bar graph based on the data from our workbook.

   

   

We have also been learning about capacity and created our own water xylophone. We could describe if each glass was full, nearly full, nearly empty or empty.

   

    

Some of us went outside to play a game to help us learn to add three numbers together. We each had three balls and had to put each of them into a different hoop. Each hoop was worth an amount and we then added up the three numbers to get our total.

Some of us created our own number line in the playground with chalk and then challenged each other by completing an addition calculation on the number line. We were also able to demonstrate our addition skills by jumping along a number line with a counter.

   

   

   

    

    

 

 

 

Despite the cold and wet weather, P1C have had an amazing week of learning! We have continued talking about people who help us and focused particularly on the emergency services this week. We discussed when we might need them and how they can help people in the community.

In Maths we are learning lots of different skills. Some of us are learning about fact families and have used different strategies to help support our understanding. We have also been revising our number bonds to 10 and have been practising this lots during our mental maths input each day. We also used domino cards to help develop our addition skills. We wrote the calculation based on the number of spots and then completed the calculation by counting the total.

We have also been learning about measurement and the vocabulary we use around this. We focused on length and weight and enjoyed some time in the playground making our jumps longer and shorter.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

In writing this week we went on an adventure in a bubble. We watched a beautiful story about a girl who found some bubbles on the beach. She blew a giant bubble and went on a journey in the ocean. We loved watching her explore and then created our own stories by using our imaginations. Some of us visited space, a volcano, Chocolate Land and the beach.

    

We were very lucky to receive some new resources in our class. We are particularly enjoying threading and created some wonderful pieces of jewellery, a bauble decoration and a beautiful design.

   

   

   

On Friday afternoon we had a muddy but enjoyable time in the woodland.

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

We have had another busy week in P1C!

We have been learning all about healthy eating and to finish our healthy eating topic off we created our own yummy fruit salads. We selected the fruit we wanted to include in our fruit salad and carefully used the knifes to cut our fruit. We then enjoyed our fruit salad together on the carpet, can you tell we enjoyed them?

In Literacy and English this week, we have been creating lots of rhyming lists, consolidating our sounds and learning to sequence the events in a story. In our writing, we created our own imaginative stories. We had to look into the woodland and imagine what we could see, we had some really creative and amazing ideas!

We have also been learning about people who can help us, we discussed who in our community can help us and when.

We also discussed different items we can re-use, recycle and compost. We spoke about what each of these words mean and the importance of re-using, recycling and composting our waste.

Outdoors this week, we really enjoyed exploring the snow, creating water slides, sweetie machines and obstacle courses. We had some wonderful cupcakes and ice cream on our menu from the outdoor kitchen too!

Here are some more pictures of us exploring our areas this week.

Primary 1C have had a lovely week marking World Book Day. Each day we have watched ‘The Masked Reader’ where Crookfur teachers read a story behind a mask. We loved seeing which character they were and guessing who was behind the mask. All of the readers were revealed at assembly.

We enjoyed some time on Monday with Primary 7. They had written and illustrated their own stories and were keen to share them with us all.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

Each stage in Crookfur were given an author to study. Primary 1 have been looking at Nick Sharratt. We enjoyed reading quite a few of his books together and had a go at illustrating our own book covers using the style of Nick Sharratt.
