We had an excellent day trip to Calderglen country park where we took part in many exciting activities! We set off on the coach and the children couldn’t wait to get to the park! 😀☀️

Our first activity was playing in the play park and we had great fun with our friends on the swings, climbing frames, spin seats and much more! 🛝😀

 

We then headed to the sensory garden where we stopped for a quick snack! ☀️

Now it was time for the zoo! The children loved seeing the animals and we agreed our favourites were the rabbits and the wallaby! The meerkats were very cute too! 🐇🐾

We then had some lunch before playing some outdoor games, we played duck, duck goose and  then had some free time to play with some of the sports equipment! 🏀🎾

We finished the day off with a lovely woodland walk, we walked along the river pointing out huge trees, minibeasts and crossing many bridges! 🌳🐜

A great day was had by all!

We had an excellent sports day taking part in flat races and team games. We all displayed excellent school values and resilience during  the day! 🥎

We have also been visiting the kitchen as part of our gastronomers Mearns Masters. We have been working on chopping skills such as the claw chopping skill and bridge hold.

We chopped our fruit and made strawberry and banana smoothies, we then took them back to class and drank them while watching a farm to food video using claw chopping skills. 🍓🍌

Primary 1.5 had a great time learning about the kings coronation. We learned that the king will be crowned in Westminster Abbey. The boys and girls made flags that represent Britain. 🇬🇧

We then had a coronation party and the boys and girls each told us a fact they had learned about King Charles and his coronation. We tried scones with jam and cream and then watched Paddington visit Buckingham Palace! Well Done Primary 1.5! 👑😄

Today we headed out onto the pitch for outdoor PE! We practised our balances we have been learning in gymnastics and played balance tig as a class! We then worked on our stamina and did some races!

After spending our PE slot on the pitch we then went to our transport play area and had great fun exploring lots of different imaginary play games with our friends! Well Done Primary 1.5!

The boys and girls in Primary 1.5 created Easter cards using different painting techniques, they used a silhouette to create some beautiful bunny art 🐇

We have also been working hard on our number bonds to 10, we used cubes to separate our number bonds. Some of us even tried number bonds to 20! 😀

In Primary 1.5 we have been learning to subtract using concrete materials and our number lines to support our learning! The boys and girls have been working very hard on their calculations! 😀

We have spent lots of time outside also, the boys and girls have been enjoying choosing different classrooms and areas to play in during Iplay! Some of the boys and girls chose the outdoor area and had great fun with the hula hoops, balls and our transport play area outdoors! ✈️☀️

We have also been working hard on building sentences and ensuring to have capital letters, full stops and finger spaces in our sentences. We all achieved our learning intention and wrote super sentences! 😀🌟

The boys and girls have been having great fun in our continuous provision areas! Have a look at some of our wonderful creations here! 😀

Today we went outside and spent time playing in the snow! The children loved building snowmen, making snow angels and using their hula hoops to create patterns in the snow! Well done Primary 1.5! 😄⭐️

 

We read the story of the Three Little Pigs and made the houses out of each material! We used straw, sticks and bricks to make our little pigs houses! We then talked about each material and what was the strongest! This built on our learning from last week where we designed houses for the three little pigs! 🐷

  

  

  

We then had time to read our favourite books we had brought in from home! The boys and girls found comfy, quiet areas in the classroom and spent some time reading their books! 📚

  

Today we had a special visitor come to talk to us about his important job as an air traffic controller! We told him all about our Pilot visit and he then told us about how he helps the pilot by directing him in his aeroplane!

We spoke about different airports across the UK and where the air traffic control tower is in each one. It needs to be very high up to see all of the planes!

We then played a fun game where we were all planes flying around the sky and our peers directed us on where to fly by using the directions ‘climb’, ‘descend’, left and right. We all had lots of fun and learned lots about the job of an air traffic controller!

      

Primary 1.5 had a special visitor come and speak to us about our transport topic. Matthew is a LoganAir pilot who flies planes carrying passengers and goods around the UK and to other countries.

We had so much fun learning all about being a pilot and the special job Matthew has! He also answered lots of questions we had about aeroplanes and how they fly!

We had great fun trying on some of the kit pilots need to fly the plane! We loved talking to each other through the headset and also got to see a real pilots license!

 

   

 

We were very excited this week to have some of our Primary 7 peers come down to primary 1 and read us their lovely stories! We had lots of questions about the stories!  📖

Primary 1.5 have been having lots of fun during lunchtime on Fridays when some of us go to Playzone and play fun games with the Primary 6 leaders! Well Done boys and girls!
