Primary 1b’s Scotland Assembly

Primary 1b wanted to learn more about our country and so decided to do a mini topic on Scotland. We loved sharing our learning with our parents at assembly.

We sang some Scottish songs and some of us performed the Canadian Barn Dance.

We also taught our parents some facts about the Scottish Saints from our school house system. We hope they were impressed.

P1b and P1d enjoyed working together to develop gymnastiscs skills

P1b and P1d worked cooperatively to develop their skills in gymnastics. We were working on balancing this week which was tricky but we learned some good tips to help us:

“you need to hold your tummy muscles in tight”

Aadam

“you need to pick a spot on the wall and keep looking it at”

Calli

We worked in pairs to practise balancing on different parts of our bodies. Look at some of the great poses we made!

P1b Love Science Experiments

We have been learning about water as part of our Holiday topic. We wanted to find out which things float in water and which things sink in water. We decided to carry out an experiment to find out. We made predictions (good guesses) first and then tested these out.

We then decided to add some salt to see if things would float more easily in salt water. We tested this out with an egg. We found that the egg floated in the water that had the salt added. We now know that things are more likely to float in the sea especially if it is very salty.

I liked doing the sheet to guess what would float and what would sink. Some of my predictions were right. Abbi

I liked putting things into the water to see if they would float or sink. Ethan

P1b Love Using Beebots

P1b have been using beebots to practise their sounds. We had to programme the beebot to go forwards, backwards, left and right in order to land on our chosen sound.

I loved making the beebot go round in a big circle (Aadam)

We had to try to make sure the beebot didn’t go too far forward or it would come off the sound mat (Susanna)

Primary 1b Autumn Walk

Primary 1b enjoyed exploring signs of Autumn at Eastwood Park. We worked well in teams and found lots of lovely things such as acorns, conkers and mushrooms! We had great fun stomping on the leaves with our wellies and hearing them crunch.
