We learned the sounds ‘o’ and ‘u’ this week in phonics  the boys and girls worked hard to create an octopus for ‘o’, working on their fine motor skills cutting and sticking to create these excellent crafts! We also made umbrellas for the sound ‘u’ and the boys and girls worked hard to design and make their own umbrella! ☂️

We went on an autumn nature walk looking at the trees and discussing the changes in colour of the leaves due to the changing seasons 🍁 🍃 We then spent some time making leaf art using the fallen leaves from the trees. The boys and girls created rainbows, headphones, faces and patterns using the leaves! 😀

Primary 1.4 have been spending lots of time in our continuous provision areas in our classroom working on turn taking, sharing and literacy and numeracy skills! Well Done Primary 1.4! ⭐️

Primary 1.4 went to the Mearns Library for our first Bookbug session together as a class! We all showed excellent Mearns values when we walked responsibly with our walking partner down to the library, staying safe near the road.

When we arrived at the library we were welcomed by Bookbug and a lovely story where we had time to pick out some characters and talk about what was happening in the book. We then sang some songs and did the actions as a class!

We enjoyed spending time on the transport outdoors working on our gross motor skills and playing with our classmates! We took part in imaginative play on the boat and plane and some of us created art in the sun! ☀️

The boys and girls have also been spending time in our continuous provision areas within the classroom! Building dinosaur caves, houses, climbing walls and much more! Well Done Primary 1.4! ⭐️

We learned the sound curly ‘c’, we made crowns using our cutting skills and decorated with 2D shapes we have learned and glitter ✨

The boys and girls have worked hard on their handwriting forming their sounds using different materials! 😀

Primary 1.4 read ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ and we looked at all the different obstacles the family came across while on the hunt!

We then sequenced the story thinking about the key events in the story.

Then the boys and girls went outside and we looked for bear prints.

We found many in our playground! 🐻

We then headed into the forest and searched for bears! The boys and girls found two bears while on our Hunt! Well Done Primary 1.4! ⭐️
