P1b have been really busy today! We have all had new reading books today which we did really well with. We’ve been making sentences with puzzle pieces, making pictures using shapes which we then painted, we worked on our fine motor skills by doing some threading, we used Teach Your Monster to Read on the iPads and we had a great go at logging in to the chromebooks and using Google Classroom for the first time!

The Owls continued their work on subtraction, the Foxes were adding 3 numbers together using cubes to help and the Mice were working on numbers to 100. What a busy day! Well done Primary 1!

As it has been so prevalent in the news, we have been talking lots about the spread of germs in class. Today we have been really busy working on our hand washing technique, writing instructions for washing our hands and we also took part in some interesting experiments!

We talked about how easily germs can spread and we demonstrated this using glitter! Some of us glittered our hands and we spread the glitter by shaking hands, and by doing this we were able to visualise the spread! We then tested our hand washing technique by using soap and water to get it all off.

We also started an experiment looking at the impact of germs on bread. We touched slices of bread with washed hands, unwashed hands, the iPad screen, the board pen and other bits and pieces we touch all the time around the class. We will check the decay on the bread next week to see which carried the most germs!

Fantastic work today P1b!

P1b heard some more excellent family presentations today! Well done Clayton, Arya and Mohammed Almeer who spoke so clearly about their families to the rest of the class and were able to answer some very interesting questions. Well done!

P1b had another amazing presentation from Zara today! Zara told us lots of interesting facts about her family and she even had us researching some of her family’s favourite foods! Fantastic work Zara and brilliant questions again from the class!

P1b are celebrating some amazing construction in the class today! Kieva created a wonderful replica of St John’s church today and we thought it was brilliant! Well done Kieva!

P1b heard 2 more presentations today from Mila and Martin! They both spoke so well about their families and were able to answer questions from the class after their presentations! Well done!

Primary 1b has some new teachers taking on their own groups in the atrium! Clayton and Lorena were getting on with some number work with their friends during their play today. They has some brilliant conversation around how best to solve the problems they had written on the board. Well done you two!

 

Today Primary 1b began their presentations about their families! The children we heard from today spoke so confidently about their families and presented in such creative ways. Thanks as always to our families for their continued support 🙂 we are looking forward to hearing more tomorrow!

P1b are having a brilliant afternoon working together with Primary 6 to make some amazing constructions with the Kapla blocks! P1 worked in their learning buddies to decide on their designs and then worked together with P6 to have a go at constructing them. What a fantastic afternoon, thank you for helping us P6!

P1b have enjoyed a Bookbug session this morning with Mrs Carwood to finish off World Book week! We sang lots of songs and said lots of rhymes and we also read The Jumblebum which we thought was a brilliant book!
