Primary 1

Welcome to our Blog update this week, we hope you enjoy it 🙂

 

ICT

In ICT this week the children were much more confident at using their mouse to point and click.  With a partner they successfully opened up the internet page and selected a programme from the ‘favourites’ section.

STEM

In STEM this week we were learning all about different forces.  The children were becoming familiar with and confident with the words – push and pull and how to use them in the correct context.  They had great fun exploring how toys moved and how we use the forces of ‘push’ and ‘pull’ when playing games – tug of war, climbing the wall, basket ball and playing with a ball.

Maths

We started the week off by having a number hunt outside and the boys and girls were great number detectives and managed to hunt out the numbers 1-10 and they used their clipboard to record the numbers they found.

This week we were learning to add.  We explored the language of addition, familiarised ourselves with the symbols and came to the understanding that when we add we are creating a bigger number.  The children did this by counting to see how many objects there were ‘altogether’.

Language

This week the children were introduced to some words – some words we can sound out and some are tricky and we just need to try and learn them.

The Enchanted Forest

The boys and girls used the talking tub to decide what they wanted to learn about for their new topic – ‘The Enchanted Forest’.

The picked an item out of the box that interested them and told us what they knew already and what they wanted to learn about next.

P7’s day out at Hillpark

Last week P7 went to Hillpark for a STEM day.

First of all we made rockets to launch later that day. We made them out of card and sticky tape. Next we had our break and it was delicious.

Then we went to maths and learned how to find the average speed of our rocket. After that we went to science to launch our rockets outside to see how far they went.

After we launched our rockets we went for lunch. It was very tasty.

After lunch we tried to recreate our rockets in ICT. They were amazing. Here are some pictures from the day.
