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.

 

 

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.

We have had a great first full week in Primary 1 and have all settled in really well. We have been learning about routines in the school and getting to know each other. We have lots of different areas in our classroom along with the garden and have enjoyed time exploring these areas.

Here are some pictures of us exploring our new classroom.

   

   

    

    

We enjoyed some time on the activity trail.

   

   

    

This week we have been learning about the numbers 1-10. We have enjoyed different activities to help us count.

   

   

   

    

We also practised our number formation.

    

We painted our background for our self portraits. We had to paint lots of different shapes onto our paper.

   

We had a lovely morning on Friday exploring the Primary 1 garden.
