Sharing the learning
Our Foxes and our Mice have been working very hard practising their addition skills. They have moved on so quickly to the calculations and enjoy doing their numeracy work!! Here are some pictures of only a handful of the amazing learning they have done with number so far!
During our planning session, the Giraffes expressed interest in learning how to go faster. We started today by talking about timing and looking at clocks! We made clocks outside and used them to tell ‘o’clock’ times.
Well done Giraffes!
This morning the Tigers received a letter from a very worried princess! Her castle had been stolen and she needed help to design a new one! They worked in teams to design a new castle for the princess.
Kieva and Layla gave their castle turrets and windows and even drew the princess living in it!
Ryan and Corey gave their castle turrets too and a door that needed a very special key to unlock. They also had a go at writing their names on their design!
Charlie and Anas gave their castle 4 legs so that it could run away if it was attacked again!
Kameron and Alfie gave their castle wings so that it could fly!
The Tigers then used the loose parts to make their castle outside! They worked together to create a very sturdy design and when the rain came on they covered it with tarpaulin to make a den.
Well done Primary 1, the princess will be delighted with her new castle!
The Panthers and the Tigers have both been outside today! The Panthers went for a walk around the school grounds, working together to collect leaves, sticks, stones, berries and all sorts of other natural materials. Then we brought our materials back and worked in our teams to create Panther portraits!
The Tigers had expressed interest in wanting to dig for treasure so we went outside to the planters to harvest the carrots!
We worked together to count all of the carrots – we found 53! Then we took some carrots in groups and sorted them from biggest to smallest!
Well done P1!
Just a reminder to all of our families that we will be continuing our outdoor learning sessions this week so please remember to send in appropriate shoes for your child to wear in the rain.
Thanks for your continued support!

Primary 1 created some fabulous art outside today! We used lots of different things that we found in our school grounds to create pictures of our group animals! Here are the Tigers and some of their pieces…
And here are the Giraffes!
Thank you also to our wonderful P4 helper, TJ! You were a superstar today!
The Panthers will have their turn to make their pieces tomorrow! Well done everyone!
Primary 1 have loved taking our learning outdoors this week!! We made some interesting meals in the mud kitchen…
Some of us made a map that we followed to look for treasure!
We played with musical instruments and used the blocks to build some very interesting structures!
We used the large loose parts to create obstacle courses…
We found an apple tree and we spotted lots of other berries growing on the trees in the grounds!
We did some gardening in the pumpkin patch and we found lots of worms and even a caterpillar!
What a fantastic start to our outdoor learning journey, well done Primary 1!
P1b have been learning all about dinosaurs. We looked at what a dinosaur was and that they lived a long time ago. We know that dinosaurs died because of a asteroid or meteor that hit the earth causing all of the plants to die, because of this dinosaurs did not have any food! We have learned all about fossils and bones. We know that fossils and bones can tell us about what lived in the past. It can also tell us where abouts on the Earth the dinosaurs lived from the location the fossils were found. We explored fossils in the classroom and guessed what dinosaur the fossil could have came from! We used dinosaurs and paint to make dinosaur footprints. We looked at the characteristics of dinosaurs and how dinosaurs like a triceratops has horns. Through small world play we got to pretend play with different types of dinosaurs. We know dinosaurs are either herbivores (plant eaters), carnivores (meat eaters) or omnivores (both!). As a little treat, we sometimes watch Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs when we have done lots of amazing learning!
We have really enjoyed exploring the dinosaur topic so far!! 🙂
Here are a few pictures of us all exploring dinosaurs that lived in the past.
On Wednesday P1 are learning all about the ‘m’ sound. We are hoping to recycle bottles and make maracas to explore the ‘m’ sound.
Please if you have any plastic bottles at home, can you pop them in your child’s school bag and remind them to hand them in before Wednesday. We can’t wait to hear the lovely sound of our maracas on Wednesday.
In Primary 1b today we have been learning all about the h sound. Here are some of the activities we have been exploring!
