A Busy Week in P1C!

We have had a super busy week in P1C!

We started off our week learning about Diwali. We enjoyed learning about how Diwali is celebrated and why. We decided to create our own super Rangoli patterns outside using chalks.

“We made Rangoli patterns”

“I liked learning about Diwali!”

“We learnt about how Diwali works”

To celebrate Book Week Scotland, we headed to Mearns Library where we enjoyed hearing stories from our book bags and voting on our favourite story. The highlight of Library visit was of course getting our book bags. We want to say a big thank you to Lily and Lucas Dad for joining us on our visit.

“We went to library because it was Scottish book week.”

“We went to the library because at book week you read loads of books and the library has lots of books in it.”

“We got bags with books to read!”

    

Also this week to celebrate Book Week Scotland, our buddies joined us to create our own Supertato out of potatoes and different materials. Supertato has been our story of the week and we loved getting to design our own special Supertato with our buddies.

“We made Supertato with our buddies!”

Outdoors this week with Miss Hutchison we had a great time creating our very own water slides. We had to constantly check our design to make sure the water could flow down the slide and ensure there wasn’t any gaps for the water to sneak out of. As you can see, we built some really super water slides!

“We made a water slide and water ramps.”

“We made HUGE water slides!”

Rockets, Climbing and More!

This week we started our new topic Space. We wanted to learn all about rockets so we looked at how rockets are made, what they look like inside and how they fly. We found it so interesting that we decided to create our own rockets and had a go at describing them.

“We made own rockets and we wrote about them”

“My rocket was cool and big”

We are continuing to develop our Gymnastics skills and have been working hard on our balance, handstands and cartwheels.

“We are doing Gymnastics, we have been working on cartwheels”

“We were practicing our handstands”

“We played the shape game to work on our shapes”

We loved exploring the Woodland this week, we enjoyed climbing trees to see how high we could get and jumping in the muddy puddles!

“We climbed the trees”
