We have been busy learning many different skills in Numeracy:
Doubles
Adding 3 Numbers
 Number Stories
We also took our learning outdoors. We created calculations and challenged each other. This was fun!
Primary 1.1 representing World Thinking Day on 22nd February 2019, a day of international friendship which has been celebrated since 1926.
A big thank you to Mr Ahmed who came along to tell us about his job as a business development manager. He told us about the device his company sell called lightfoot which monitors the speed you drive at. The lights change from green to red if you drive too fast and you can set the device up to send you audio nudges as warnings. If you drive safely and achieve ‘elite driver’ standard, you have the chance of winning lots of rewards and prizes. Well done to Sam who won a prize for listening well. The boys and girls had lots of interesting questions to ask and enjoyed hearing all about this clever piece of technology.
Mrs Sobocinski and Miss Khan remember enjoying Tap A Shapes when they were young children and the children in Primary 1.1 have been no different. They have loved tapping the wooden shapes into place on the cork board creating a range of patterns, shapes and pictures. Tap A Shapes encourage young brains to foster creativity and helps to develop hand eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Monday mornings are full of energetic fun!
We are showing good control and coordination in large and small movements. We move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. We are learning to handle equipment and tools effectively.
A special visitor came to visit us today, Captain Baxter an airline pilot.
He told us all about his exciting job. We learned about the roles of differnt people who work in the airline and the different types of planes which exist ✈
We also learned that there are many checks that must take place before a plane is ready to fly. First of all the weather, outside area and cabin have to be checked. Next the bags are loaded and fuel is filled. After that passengers have to be seated and the flightdeck has to be set up. Then the plane is ready for take off!
We found out how high and fast a plane can fly and how the pilot knows where to go. We checked live flights flying out of Glasgow and flying into Glasgow. We even went on a journey which took off and landed. It was so exciting!
A huge thank you to Captain Baxter for taking time out to visit us, we learned so much and had lots of fun exploring the props he brought.
After our exciting parent talk this morning, about being a pilot, we went to ICT and used Google to search for images of aeroplanes.
As part of our PE lesson today we were learning how to dribble a ball in and out of a row of markers. At first we found it very tricky to control the ball but we got better and better as the afternoon went on.
During our reading lesson today we became word detectives! We had the first letter of the word that we were looking for and using our scanning skills (and mini magnifying glasses!) we hunted down the missing words.
To support our work in symmetry and fractions the children asked to open a pizza parlour! We are looking forward to creating new and exciting pizza toppings, making symmetrical patterns and slicing our pizzas into different fractions.
As part of our role play we are also exploring the world of work with roles including: chef, driver, waiting staff and cashier.
