This week primary 1b were learning about the World of work  we explored different job roles through play and discussed the skills each job requires.

Writing had them creating instructions for cleaning their teeth. They began by drawing pictures to demonstrate the actions and followed this by writing a sentence to explain what to do. Everyone should now have lovely clean teeth. We also read ‘Finns Little Fibb’ and identified the beginning, middle and end of the story.

We continued to learn about our emotions and were able to assign colours to a variety of emotions such as yellow for happy, blue for sad and green for jealous. We used the story Elmer, about a patchwork elephant, as inspiration and used some of the colours we discussed to create our own animals and jungle picture.

A fantastic week of learning in p1b 💫💫

P1b have been learning about halves in maths and put this knowledge into practice when they were cutting their Jeely pieces.

To celebrate the 850th birthday of Glasgow, the children sang along to the Jeely Piece Song after making a Jeely sandwich. Some children even made a fantastic effort to dress up for the occasion.

This week p1b have enjoyed learning about people in the past. We explored how technology has changed over the decades through our role play Museum.
We learned about the importance of bugs and the positive impact they have in their natural habitats. We also enjoyed learning about fractions and can confidently identify  halves.

P1b enjoyed their last week at school before the Easter holidays. We were busy learning about number words and recapped grouping and sharing using concrete materials to help. We also created wanted posters for the Easter bunny who has stolen all of our eggs!! We used fantastic adjectives to describe the Easter bunny and we hope to find him soon with all of our eggs not eaten!

We have had a fantastic term in P1b. I hope you all enjoy a lovely, well deserved break and look forward to our final term together.

Last week p1b listened to the story We’re going on a bear hunt.

We went on our very own bear hunt around the school grounds. The children loved retelling the story in real life. This inspired our writing and art for the week. Check out our fantastic story maps.

This week p1b have been working very hard all week. We finished our NHS topic by learning about the dentist and pharmacy through role play. All the children were able to show what to do in an emergency through our role play lesson. The children have engaged so well with our playroom room activities especially in the pharmacy, they used their money skills to purchase medicine.

In maths we have been learning to recognise coins. We used our pharmacy to practise using money in real life situations.
In literacy we have had a focus on reading and writing CVC words with our phonics boards. The children were fantastic and loved to challenge themselves to make sentences. We introduced ‘th’ and can all identify words that start with this phoneme. As always I am incredibly proud of all of the children, well done P1B.

A fantastic week of learning in P1b. In literacy we learned a new phoneme ‘sh’. We identified words starting and ending with ‘sh’ then created them on our phonic boards.  In Numeracy we learned how to read o’clock and half past on an analogue clock. We also had a lovely visit from Mrs Cattley and her baby and got the opportunity to ask some important questions about how to look after a baby.
