Just Another Fun Packed Day in 1.3
It’s another day in 1.3 learning through play. Some people built towers and measured each other. Some people did maths with the ducks. Some people sang “5 little ducks”. Some people were creative with the play doh and some people drew pictures with wonderful stories. Mrs Arbuckle read a story , which led to a discussion about astronauts that she hadn’t even dreamed about this morning! Mrs Arbuckle doesn’t ask them to do these things…. it all happens naturally. 😁
Sports Day
We had been practising for weeks and the big day finally arrived- Sports Day 2018! It didn’t rain ( amazing!) and nobody fell ( even more amazing!) . A great time was had by all. Well done to the winners and a big thank you to the parents , grannies, grandpas and family friends who were able to come along and cheer on the children.
Maths and Language Play
Our maths and language today was about using different games and taking turns and cooperating . There was an immense sense of pride when they completed their tasks.
Playing together in the sun
We took the opportunity today to take our learning outdoors. We changed in to our PE clothes to be cooler. It was very warm, so we took our water bottles with us. We practised the hurdles for sports day; played circle games and did some roly-polys down the hill ( you have to when you’re in P1!) . We were exhausted.
Scavenger Hunt
We did a scavenger hunt this afternoon using the letters of the alphabet. We had to chose a card and find something and show it to Mrs Arbuckle. F for feathers; y for a yoghurt pot; g for grass etc. It was hard work in the warm sunshine.
Our Brilliant Assembly
The day had finally arrived. We were very proud of ourselves at our assembly today. We all learned our lines and we were all well rehearsed. We hope you enjoyed it.
The Duster Monster
The Duster Monster visited us today. We looked at how the electric circuit makes the Duster Monster move around. We also had to solve some problems:
- What happens when the circuit is broken?
- How do we fix a broken wire?
- What do. we think has happened when we have tried to fix all the problems, but it still won’t work?
There were a lot of giggles as it moved around.
Talent Show
We have been practicing for our Talent Show. Some people sing, some dance, some recite poetry and some do the Chicken Dance! It has caused much laughter. We have three judges at the table and have to write names, make comments and score out of 10. We also have the Golden Buzzer. A star is born!
Nessie
We learn our phonics and letter rules using Nessie in ICT. We really enjoy playing the games as we learn. Every time we get something right , we earn “nuggets” from the mine.
