What a wonderful morning! Primary 1 had a visit from Santa!

Allan and Lacie have been working so hard on their numbers this week! We have been playing lots of games to work on our number recognition and we have been ordering numbers to 10 and counting out quantities to 10! What fantastic work Allan and Lacie, well done!

P1b have had a lovely afternoon outside today! On our walk we had a wee look in  fairy tree to see if we could spot any fairies!

We made fantastic tree rubbings

We used the magnifying glasses and the binoculars to see if we could spot any interesting creatures and we managed to find lots and lots of worms! We wondered if any of them were Superworm!!!

We found lots of interesting leaves and made some pictures! We’ve brought lots back to school to look at next week!

Then we had a treat of hot chocolate!

What a brilliant afternoon!

Primary 1b are very excited about going up to the woods tomorrow, can our families please remember to pack us some waterproof, warm clothes that they won’t mind getting muddy! Thank you!

Primary 1b are collecting yoghurt pots so that we can have a go at growing cress in class – if you have any yoghurt pots at home could you please wash them and remove any labels on them and send them in to school with your child please? Thank you!

P1b have been using lots of digital technology to support their learning in class!

We used the chrome books to practice some of the things we have been working on during our maths and numeracy lessons!

Some of the digital leaders came to support us using Dash, our school robot! We were able to program him to follow different directions and draw some super pictures!

We had a go of hit the button on the interactive board and Liam managed to get 26 questions correct in 30 seconds, well done you!

We also had a go of he virtual reality headsets and were able to experience lots of different environments! They were amazing!

Primary 1b have been planning their own learning! We started with the experience and outcome we need to cover and we made suggestions of all of the different things we’d like to learn about within that. Our suggestions linked really well with other areas across the curriculum so we’re going to be very busy!

We started out today with our main interest and we learned about trees! We were able to identify the main parts of a tree and we designed our own trees with all of those parts! Next we plan to go on a leaf hunt to collect lots of different leaves and identify which trees they come from!

Primary 1b had some fantastic fun over Halloween enjoying lots of different activities! We created some shadow pictures using sponges and paint –

 

We made up recipes for our own scary potions!

We also made a paper chain that was so long we had to take it outside to measure it and it was 19 children long!!!

P1b have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and have been using it to practice our measuring skills! We have been using the language of measure while we have measured the width of the bears’ bowls, the height of their chairs and and the length of baby bears bed! We have also put all of the characters from the story in to order from smallest to biggest. Super work primary 1!
