What an amazing year it has been! No words can express how brilliant everyone has been and what wonderful young people they have grown to be throughout the year.

We have had amazing memories throughout the year from our fantastic Rainforest Assembly (who can forget that dance?) to our Teddy Bear Picnics or in general our learning that has taken place daily.

I am so proud of you all and I cannot wait to see you grow even more! Have a wonderful summer holiday.

You will all be missed dearly. Stay safe and have fun!

Lots of love,

Maths and Numeracy

We continue to develop our  Maths and Numeracy skills consolidating learning about symmetry; numbers greater/smaller than others including the < and > signs; and ordering numbers to 100.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Literacy

We love playing games to develop our reading skills and often choose games from our Literacy area.  We are getting more confident reading independently and enjoy creating our own texts!

What a fantastic year we have had in P1b! Everyone has worked so hard to develop their learning and everyone has made lots of great friendships throughout the year too.

Tomorrow is our last day in Primary 1 and we can’t believe how fast this year has been, we are so excited for our next adventure in Primary 2!

I am sure you will all have an amazing summer holiday making lots of great memories. I I know you will all be fantastic in Primary 2 and I can’t wait to hear about your adventures!

Have lots of fun and be safe!

Lots of love

In Numeracy and Maths we have been revising and consolidating all of our skills!

We have been exploring money, working hard to identify various coins and then deciding what coins to use to make a total amount.

We have been revising symmetry, working hard to create a line of symmetry and symmetrical patterns.

We have also been learning all about odd and even numbers, we are now able to identify these and are able to explore number sequences involving odd or even numbers.

We continue to revise strategies for addition and subtraction, we are becoming much quicker at solving these calculations mentally!

In Literacy, we have also been consolidating our skills. We enjoy exploring lots of different books and enjoy reading on our own or with friends.

We have also been working on answering tricky questions about a text, we find it useful to identify key words such as ‘where, how, why or who’ and have been using these to help us create our own questions for various characters.

We continue to develop our knowledge of phonemes, we have been working hard to identify words which contain these sounds.

As we have finished learning about keeping safe and healthy, we decided we wanted to learn a little bit about the human body. We can now identify most parts of the body and we are also able to label these parts too!

We also completed a wordsearch, searching for and highlighting the names for different parts of the body.

Sports Day!

Last week, we all took part in sports day.

We had so much fun!

We loved exploring all of the stations and enjoyed taking part in relay races. We had lots of fun supporting all of our peers and it was so exciting having families there to support us too!

We can’t believe Primary 1 is almost over! We are determined to keep up the hard work until the end of term.

Hello,

Welcome back to our blog, we can’t wait for you to see all the amazing learning that has been happening in our class throughout the last few weeks.

Sports Day just ended and it was such a fantastic event, we all had fun participating in all the games and races!

We have completed our Rainforest topic and are now exploring Nutrition, Health and Safety.

Here are a few pictures of us showcasing our learning and posters for the different animal groups!

We have been practicing to use the Green Cross Code to ensure we are keeping ourselves safe when crossing the road.

Also, we have been learning the importance to keep ourselves safe in dangerous situations! Here we completed a cut and stick, we had to decide whether a situation was safe or unsafe.

Within our Health Topic, we are looking at ways to keep ourselves happy and healthy. We have been exploring the Eat Well Plate and learning how to have a balanced diet. Soon we will be learning how to make delicious healthy meals like a fruit salad.

Outdoor Learning

As the sun is shining on us now, we have been investigating shadows! We then completed an Art activity to draw and sketch a shadow that was reflecting from an object.

As always, we are using our team work skills to make the most amazing dens we can!

Numeracy and Mathematics

We have become super confident in being able to partition two digit numbers into tens and ones!

Now our addition and subtraction skills have become advanced, we are now able to make complex number bonds which have huge numbers!

We have also been practicing to make symmetrical patterns using different loose parts.

We are easily able to identify a 1/2 as a fraction and know two halves make a whole. Therefore, we have been learning about quarters!

Within the areas, we have the opportunity to explore lots of different areas of Maths. Here we are sorting days of the week into the correct order and months of the year.

Literacy

We have been practicing when to use a full stop correctly as quite often we are placing them in the wrong place. We are continuing to get better at this!

We are now able to understand the purpose of a speech bubble. We were using our imaginations to create a context within the speech bubbles for the different characters.

We always use our imagination to inform our writing too! This helps us add in more detail and information within our stories.

As we have become confident in identifying different phonemes and alternative sounds, we are beginning to increase our fluency within reading. We were reading a different book each and then writing a book review about it.

We can’t believe school is about to end! We will be continuing to work extremely hard before the end of term!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Art

In Art we have been learning how to draw detailed line drawings. We studied the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and enjoyed learning how to draw the famous ‘Mackintosh’ rose.

Problem Solving

We have been enjoying using our knowledge of different strategies to help solve various problems and are improving our skills at explaining to others what we have done to work out a solution.

ICT

In ICT we have been learning how to access the internet, using internet explorer or google chrome. We have been using search engines to find sites to consolidate our learning across a range of different curricular areas.

Music

In Music we have been introduced to the difference between rhythm and beat. We have enjoyed learning some new poems to demonstrate this.

Maths

We have been exploring the relationship between different numbers and using the symbols for greater than and less than to compare numbers. We are able to identify and sort odd and even numbers and can continue number patterns counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We have also been looking at how we can use different coins to make the same amount and have been adding a selection of coins to check what is in our piggy banks or to pay for a range of items.

 

 

Literacy

We are really enjoying creating our own stories through play and writing about things we have done or places we have visited. We are extending our use of vocabulary and are keen to share our writing with others. We are able to select interesting facts from books or write about our favourite part from a story we have read. Within reading activities we are using skills such as prediction, finding information, sequencing events and answering in sentences.

IDL

Within our healthy eating topic we have been looking at food labels to help us sort food into healthy/unhealthy choices. We learned about how sugar and salt can be bad for our health if we eat to much of it and used our knowledge to create our own healthy meals. We have also been learning about different food groups and the importance of having a balanced diet.
