P1c weekly update

The children have had a jam packed week, filled with lots of learning, nativity rehearsals and time in the playroom. The children worked very hard to practise their letter formation. They enjoyed a ranged of literacy stations to consolidate their learning. In the playroom our new topic is Scotland. The children have been designing outfits for characters from the Katie Morag stories and loved ‘working’ at our own WWP tourist office.

This week the children have been working very hard learning in the classroom and rehearsing their Nativity songs too. In Health and Well-being we are continuing our PATHs program learning all about uncomfortable emotions. In Numeracy the children challenged themselves to find all the different number bonds to 10. The children also had a visit to our school library and got to pick a book to keep from the Book Swap as part of our schools Scottish Book Week celebrations.

P1C weekly update

Primary 1C have had another wonderful week. We started our new IDL topic of Superheroes in the playroom. The children took part in a range of activities including role play, mask designing, exploring kinetic electricity and building a new superhero headquarters.

In literacy the children completed some wonderful writing using onomatopoeia to describe fireworks, and we learned the c and k sounds, and practised CVC words using the 5 finger spelling strategy. Take a look at our fabulous letter formation and magnetic board work.

In maths we are learning all about 2D shapes, and numeracy the children have worked very hard on number work and addition.  We have had another great week packed with new learning and as always I am incredibly proud of the progress all the children are making. Well done P1c!

First week back – P1c

We have had a wonderful first week back in P1c. The children have all worked incredibly hard in all areas of their learning. Everybody loves our Room on the Broom topic and the children had a wonderful time exploring forces and story through a range of play experiences.

On Friday the children really enjoyed getting to see the P2s Harvest show and all the children were a fabulous audience. We then ended our week with a wonderful workshop from Wildside with Donald. All the children loved our outdoor learning and especially loved using echo location to understand how bats catch their food.

 

Last week of term in P1c

The children had a fabulous week engaging with all of their learning. The children worked so hard consolidating their numeracy learning through a range of active numeracy activities.

In literacy the children spent lots of time developing their letter formation, recognising initial sounds in words and enjoyed sequencing stories. We ended the week with some ‘have a go writing’. As always the children worked extremely hard to challenge themselves.

This week we finished our ‘Enchanted Forest’ topic. The children had some much fun exploring traditional tales in the playroom and loved learning about trees and why they are so important.

We finished our week with a ‘Ready, Steady, Sing’ workshop from the YMI CREATE team. The children absolutely loved all the singing and dancing.

As always I am incredibly proud of all the progress made this term, and I hope all of the children enjoy a well deserved break. Well done P1c!

P1c – Enchanted Forest

The children have been enjoying their new topic, Enchanted Forest. In the playroom the children have engaged well with all experiences. They especially loved creating soundscapes with all the different instruments and creating their very own enchanted forest picture. Well done P1c!

Play in P1c

The children have had a wonderful week engaging in their learning during their time in the playroom. This week all play provisions supported development with challenges in STEM. The children worked so well together and challenged themselves too.  

A Fabulous Last Full Week in P3a

The children have been very busy this week. We finished our class novel ‘Harry the Poisonous Centipede’ and the children explored each character using Hot Seating.

The children designed their own toy for a Toy Design competition. All of the designs were really fantastic and original. Well done to everyone involved and thank you to Lorna from ASDA Robroyston who came to judge the competition.

To finish the week off the whole school took part in a Talent Show, well done P, K and A who came second place with their fantastic dance routine.
