We were learning all about the letter “i” today. We made beautiful igloos . We also watched a clip of “Pingu” building his igloo and we looked at pictures of the George Square igloo. It sparked some great discussions.
The George Square Igloo
Everyone loves Pingu.
Chris Riddell visited the school today. He is an author and an illustrator and drew lots of pictures for us. He read us his latest book, “Once Upon A Wild Wood”.
Every week, we ask the children how they would like to learn and what they want to learn. This week, we have put in the castle for role play, the blocks and foam to build with, and the ramps for looking at friction and speed. There are always lots of choices for the children to develop their play as well as having teaching time with the class teachers.
All of our children in P1 are allowed school lunches for free. Parents can find the school lunch menus at
http://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/article/8930/Primary-1-to-7-lunch-menu
All menus are subject to change. We order our lunches from our board in class and they go electronically to our lunch staff. Each child is then given a coloured band , which the children give to the lunch ladies in exchange for their lunch. The children know to put their plates, cutlery and rubbish in the bin before they go out to play.
Here is our lunch board.
Mr Tyler came in with us this afternoon and planted runner beans. We learned that they need soil, water and light. We will water them every day and watch their roots grow and then they will start to grow out of the soil. Mr Tyler will come back and see us in two weeks.
We are always busy in 1.3. There is so much to learn as we play. We also learn to talk to each other, have manners and take turns.
We Looked T the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We sorted things into groups and we made the number two using our loose parts.
We have started our Jolly Phonics Programme and have heard the stories and sung the songs about “s” and “a”. We have searched for them and written them in rice and on paper.
We we’re learning all about the number two today. There were lots of different things to find around the building and out in the playground. We even found two dinner ladies and two teachers! We also looked at the two school goldfish. We then practised writing the number 2. It was quite tricky, but practise makes perfect!
We started on “s today. It sound sounds like a snake. We did rainbow writing with our snakes and drew spots around them. We also wrote “s”using chalk on the playground. We listened to the “s” story and sang the song.
