Burnbrae and Cleeves celebrate Burns Day

The children from Burnbrae Nursery and the boys and girls from Primary 1 joined up to showcase their learning about Robert Burns.

The boys and girls in Primary 1 worked with Mrs McVey to make shortbread – they measured the ingredients and talked about the process.  With help from Mrs McVey they followed a recipe.

They made their own Scotland flag bunting and their own tartan kilts and used them as decorations for the hall.

 

We sang scottish songs and performed a Scottish dance.  Everyone had a lovely afternoon.

Primary 1

Blending Mats

We enjoy using the blending mats to make new words and words we already know!

‘i used the mat to make my name’ – Max

‘j-e-t’, it’s like a small fast plane – Daniel

3D shapes

we take our learning outdoors as often as we can. The boys and girls applied their knowledge of 3D shapes to finding examples of them in our playground! Ava found lots of cylinders.

Addition

we use lots of objects to investigate addition – cubes, bears, counters.  Max really impressed with using a number line to work out the answers to his sums.

J

The boys and girls enjoyed exploring the jelly during literacy time. They were challenged to find the letters in the jelly to make ‘j’ words.

Making Playdoh

The boys and girls in Primary 1 have been learning to make their own Playdoh – they were measuring the ingredients, taking turns to mix the ingredients and then were timing the mixture in the microwave!

‘We put it on scal s to see how much we needed’ – Amy

‘it cooked in the microwave’ – Daniel

‘i poured the water and colouring into the bowl and mixed it’ – Ava
