Digital Learning Week

 

Muhammad and Hafsa went to the Emirates Arena to let people know all about stop motion. They had to do lots of talking. Muhammad was tired from always talking about the life cycle of a frog!! They had a wonderful day!

 

 

The children from the nursery came to visit our class.  We showed them how to animate. It was lots and lots of fun.

 

 

We are working with P4/5 to produce stories! This morning we used iPads to type up our creations!

Spring has Sprung!

This week in P1/2 we have been celebrating the arrival of Spring! Better weather means we can play outdoors – our favourite! Have a look at some of our high hits from the week!

 

Unfortunately, one of the tables in our class broke this week! We decided to make a new road map from it instead of throwing it out. We planned where the roads would go and what facilities we would want. We are going to use our road map to learn about road safety and positional language!

 

We have teamed up with Miss Webster and P4/5 for our Social Enterprise project. We are creating our own stories and aim to publish them to support refugees settling in Glasgow. We love working with P4/5 and have had the chance to be super creative. We are also working with Ben from Village Storytelling to help us realise that stories are everywhere!

We have been spending loads of time outside in the sunshine. Miss Kinloch taught us how to make daisy chains and we used them as crowns and necklaces! 

We also worked together on a Science treasure hunt where we looked for animal’s habitats in our school grounds! We stamped on the ground pretending to be rain drops to make the worms come to the top of the grass!

 

Loads of fun fun learning this week! Please remember there will be no school on Monday and Tuesday due to May holidays!! Wednesday the 9th or May is our whole school trip to Kelburn Castle! Please come to school with a jacket on Wednesday incase it rains!

Once Upon a Time…

This week we have been learning about new ways we can talk about, read and write stories! We looked at the story of The Little Red Hen. Have a look at our work!

We even learned actions to the story to help us remember it! Have a look at us practising outside in the sunshine!

This week we were raising awareness for Down’s Syndrome. We all wore odd socks on Wednesday! 

We spoke about how we can support and include children and Haadiya told us all about ‘acting out’ what you are saying. Haadiya taught the whole class how to ask to go to the toilet in Macaton! Well Done! 

Then Hasnain remembered that Mr Tumble uses Macaton to communicate and we watched a little bit of Mr Tumble as a treat!

We were working on our number bonds to 10 this week in P1! These are numbers that add together to make 10!

 

We also made the most of the sunshine by spending time outside!

Aydin was making Mrs Twits Wormy Spaghetti out of mud!!

Jay was feeling peaceful outside!!

 

On Friday we wore our Pyjamas to school to raise money for Mary’s Meals. We know there are children in the world that can’t go to school because they have to work hard to look after their families. Mary’s Meals encourages children to go to school (and eat some porridge when they are there). We know Mary’s Meals works with children in Malawi  miss Kinloch has been to Malawi 3 times and on Friday she showed us some of her photographs! We hope we raised lots of money  to help!!

Have a great weekend!

Prehistoric Play!

This week we have been learning all about Dinosaurs. We love talking about Dinosaurs in class so Miss Kinloch thought it would be a good idea to use them as a context for learning! Have a look at what we know already on the left – and what we want to find out on the right! 

 

We know now that some dinosaurs eat plants and leaves. These dinosaurs are called Herbivores. We decided to investigate some dino-poop to see what our dinosaurs had been eating. Maryam and Haadiya found lots of grass and leaves! Ew!! 

We were experimenting with light and shadows too! We cut out shapes of dinosaurs and projected them on to the roof. This was great fun and we asked our friends if they could identify the dinosaur by it’s shadow! 

Aydin used what he knew about phonics to write a letter to a dinosaur  he asked the dinosaur if he was a kind person – we are still waiting on the reply!

Kalsoom used her digital skills to create an animation of a Brachiosaurus! Miss Kinloch thought this was amazing!! We loved learning about Dinosaurs so much that we are going to do it next week too!! Had a great weekend everyone! Miss Kinloch and P1/2 x

13th March 2018

Claire from Hats of Faith came to talk to us about different religions and their customs. We know that we are all special and unique, no matter our eye colour, hair length or what we believe in.

We have been learning new sounds this week. We know sh, ch and th now and we love listening out for these sounds. Maryam found a shell and is listening to see if she can hear the sea!

Here we are improving our cutting skills and learning about our new sounds at the same time!

Jay and Muhammad used their digital literacy skills to create their own animation. They retold part of The Twits. They had to take lots of pictures to complete their animation and they even used speech bubbles to help tell their story!

Snow Day Tasks!

Hey P1/2!

 

Hope youre enjoying spending time nice and cosy or out playing in the snow!

I have been thinking of some snow activities that you could do to keep you busy while you’re off school!

 

This is Week we have been learning about standard and non standard units of measurement! We know that standard units of measurement are things that are made for measuring like rulers, measuring tapes, metre sticks etc! These things give us an exact measurement in cm or m!

 

Non standard units of measurement are things that have other jobs – but we can use them to measure too! Things like hands, shoes and pencils can be used to measure! My challenge is for you to build a snowman and measure your snowman in standard and non standard units of measurement!

 

(If you don’t have anything that’s made to measure, you could estimate the height. That means make a good guess!)

 

please send me me pictures of your work. Hope you’re having as much fun as I am!!

Here are some very interesting footprints I found in the park yesterday! Who do you think they might belong to??

Comment on our Blog!!

Here are some photographs of us working together to make Grandmother’s Cottage! Little Red Riding Hood will be so pleased!!

 

 

We have been learning about staying safe online and being nice to each other online! Please practise leaving positive comments on this post!!

Our Magical Week!

This week, a friendly dragon left us a mysterious letter. He told us that children are not reading enough fairy tales and, because of this, Fairyland is disappearing. He needed our help – so we spent a whole week learning about fairy tales!

This dragon left a magical, glittery footprint in our class!

    

We rewrote the story of Jack and the Beanstalk to help the dragon! Our writing was amazing and Miss Kinloch was so proud. Hooriah wrote a letter to the giant saying that it wasn’t her who stole his gold!!

Haadiya and Abdul developed fine motor skills by making a play dough path for Jack to follow!  

We made magic beans from playdough. We counted the beans, made patterns and even weighed the beans to check how heavy they were!     

We decided to make our own Beanstalk in class for Jack. Kalsoom and Haadiya worked out that we had to use a box to steady the beanstalk. Maryam thought that we could keep play dough in the bottom to weigh the box down. Raghad stood on a chair to paint the top of the Beanstalk. Some children went outside with Miss Bull to collect real leaves for our Beanstalk. Lily was developing her cutting skills making pretend leaves for the Beanstalk.   Ali decided to measure the Beanstalk to see how tall it was – it was 2m 20cm!!

We have had such a lovely week using fairy tales as a context for learning. We have learned about measure, weight, letter writing, developed fine motor skills, worked together as a team,. evaluated our work and most importantly HAD LOADS OF FUN!!!

 

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Kinloch and P1/2 xx

 

Digital Literacy

Today we were learning about being safe online and leaving nice comments on our friend’s work. We know that if anyone leaves negative or upsetting comments on our class blog we have to tell Miss Kinloch and she will remove the comment. We know to always be kind to people in person and online.

Here are some pictures of our favourite things to do in school.

Please leave kind comments on our work!

 

   

Our Learning this week!

This term we are learning all about Migration! Here is a phot of us talking about animals that migrate and following their paths! We know that people migrate too and have been talking lots about where our families come from!

 

This is Week was also Burns Day! We watched the Gruffalo in Scots and tried to learn some Scots words. Kalsoom noticed that the word for an owl was a ‘hoolit’! Lily told us that some people say Glasgow like Glesga! We had fun talking in Scots for one day!

We have also been improving our digital literacy skills. Last week we spoke about how to stay safe on the Internet. We know we should ask a parent or teacher for permission and only talk to people we know! This week we learned how to search for things on google and looked up pictures of our favourite animals!

 

Have a fab weekend!

 

Miss Kinloch and P1/2
