Welcome back to Primary 1c’s blog! We can’t wait to show you what we have been learning and exploring in school.
A huge congratulations to Sophie and Ellis for making it through to the finals for Crookfur’s Got Talent. They performed and danced amazingly with so much confidence in front of the whole school. Well done!
ICT
Within ICT we have became confident in being able to log in, use different programmes such as ActivInspire and are now able to access Internet Explorer to access a website.
Now we are learning about Microsoft Word and how to use the different tools within this.
Literacy
In Literacy we continue to expand our knowledge about the properties of non-fiction books. We are able to locate information using the contents page and use the index page.
We are sorting out pictures that rhyme with the heading! We use our knowledge of sounds to determine if it rhymes.
We continue to practice tricky words from our Common Words to ensure we know how to read and spell it correctly.
We are also practising to solve the missing letters within an alphabet!
Within Writing, we have been learning how to write instructions. We know that instructions require numbered steps and openers.
On Monday, we wrote about making a Fruit Salad. Before this, we were using our listening skills as we recorded notes about making a fruit salad that would be used to inform our instructional writing.
‘Silly sentences’ is a fun game within Literacy we love to do! We have to make a sentence using random pictures shown to us. Our sentences show we can punctuate our sentences correctly.
Numeracy and Mathematics
We continue to practice adding and subtracting to 10 mentally!
At the easel, we were trying to beat the timer by completing all the sums on the board! We were able to beat the timer!
We are linking addition and subtraction with Money and are able to complete questions and word problems relating to this.
We are also linking addition and subtraction sums together by making fact families!
Ordering numbers to 100 was too easy! As a challenge we have been practising to order numbers to 1000 – which we can do too!
We are able to recognise different shapes and identify how many corners and edges it has.
We had to explore different shapes and identify its properties.
Learning Experiences across Indoors and Outdoors
In the construction area, we have been so inventive and creative in our creations. We have been building houses relating to our fact families within addition and subtraction and created houses for our animals!
Within the art area, we continue to use our colour wheel chart to help us create different colours by mixing paints together.
Outdoors we are building dens and continue to work as a team by listening to each others ideas.
We are mixing different paints together to create our desired colour.
We built and created a bird feeder to allow birds to each and drink water from P1!
This is the end of Term 3, however after the Easter Holidays we will come back ready and excited to learn more!
Have a great and safe Easter Holiday everyone!
