Forest School

At forest school, Mrs Carwood was teaching us how to safely use a bow saw.

 

We knelt down carefully and slowly moved the saw back and forth to cut pieces of log.

We wore a glove to protect our hand.

We used the log slices to create some art to take home!

We also enjoyed playing on the forest rope swing.

We are getting better and better at taking turns and helping each other on to the swing.

   

Forest school is full of lots of interesting things waiting to be found.

 

We all love forest school!

Numeracy fun!

We have been learning about different shapes in numeracy.

We went on a shape hunt around the classroom and found lots of circles, squares, rectangles and ovals. It was extra tricky to find a hexagon but we found one at the end of our pencils!

 

Homework

Homework will be issued this Monday 31st August. On Monday your child will receive a red homework folder which will contain a yellow jotter for use when completing some homework tasks.

There will also be an information sheet in your child’s folder which explains how to access ‘seesaw’. This will be the remote learning app we will be using to assign and complete homework tasks each week. The sheet provides you with a QR code which can be used to log in to your child’s profile.

Over the coming weeks Seesaw will also be used to share pupil’s learning from the classroom. More information on this will be provided during next weeks online open afternoon on Wednesday 2nd September. A video presentation will be posted on this class blog at 3pm on Wednesday which will explain what the year ahead will look like in P1.

All homework tasks will be issued on a Monday, however, we ask that the phonics sounds are practised daily. Any other tasks can be completed throughout the week on a day that suits best to allow for after school activities and other commitments. Homework should be completed for Thursday night in order to be marked on Friday.

The video link below explains a little bit more about using seesaw at home.

If you have any questions please ask.
