First Week Fun!

We are learning lots of new skills while we are having fun in our classrooms, outdoor learning areas and enjoying tasty lunches. We stay at school all day!

On our first day we listened to a story and learned a song all about S.
We practised writing our names, letters and numbers.

Loose Parts.

We have enjoyed our loose parts den. We have been linking our loose parts den to the story corner and doing lots of counting and measuring.

The children were making the bridge for the Three Billy Goats Gruff.

We asked for donations of old photo frames and made our own pictures using our loose parts.

We displayed them for everyone to see.

We used loose parts to count and make numbers.

Fair Trade.

The children have been learning about Fairtrade. The children were asked to bring things in from home that had the Fairtrade logo on it.

What do we know about Fairtrade?

“I have seen it on bananas” Bradley

“You have to be fair ” Tilly.

“It kind of means its a trade for food to go on” Alex.

We went on a walk to the local shops to look for the Fairtrade logo.

We bought bananas and chocolate from the shops with the Fairtrade logo. Then we gave them to the office ladies and our janitor Mr Stern and explained why we bought them.

What have we learned about Fairtrade?

“It is not fair if they are not getting enough pennies.” Macey

” Fairtrade means that farmers get a fair price because they work hard.” Zoe

“What Fairtrade means is that it is not fair if you don’t actually get a lot of money for all your hard work.” Alex.

“I have a bag with a Fairtrade sticker that means the farmer got a fair price.” Isla.

World Book Day

Sam, Matilda and Chloe listened carefully for the rhyming words.
Thomas, Aidan and Vivian sang along to London Bridge is Falling.
Megan and Ramona shared their favourite rhymes.
Kai and Nairn listened to the P6’s rhyming story.
Olivia and Paul sang Incy Wincy Spider
Josh loved hearing the P6 read to him.
Molly and Martha spotted the rhyming words.

 

We had a very successful World Book Day sharing our favourite nursery rhymes. We even had some Primary 6 visitors who wrote their own rhymes and read us some rhyming stories.

 

Burns Day

 The children enjoyed celebrating Burns day with a variety of learning experiences.

We made our own tartan.

“We used cars to make checks look.”  Isla
