This week the class have been working very hard all week. We started a new topic of NHS with a focus on people who can help us. 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 role play where they all got to work in a hospital and medical centre. In maths we have been learning to read time to the o’clock and learning how to collect and display data on a bar graph. 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. One of the children’s favourite part of this week was our visit from ZooLab. The children got to meet some new creepy crawlies and some of the class even felt brave enough to hold a snake, cockroach and giant snail. As always I am incredibly proud of all of the children, well done P1C!

The children have loved exploring our space topic in the playroom this week. There was lots of creativity, curiosity and collaboration. Well done P1c.

This week P1 have started a new topic all about Space and Robots. The children learnt about the Moon, Sun and Planet Earth. In art we are learning about tone, we mixed different shades of grey with black and white paint, afterwards the children created textured grey Moon pictures. Our painting inspired our writing this week, the children were able to describe the moon and extend their sentences by using a connective. In Numeracy we have been learning to subtract with concrete materials; in maths we have begun learning about 3d shapes, the children loved discovering that the planets are sphere. We made our own 3d shapes with play dough. We have had another fantastic week, well done P1c!

What a wonderful start to the new term P1c has had. The children have worked extremely hard this week. Take a look at some of our learning below.

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.

The children have had a fabulous week in the playroom exploring superheroes. The children have been very creative and have been designing and constructing a variety of models. Take a look at some of our work.

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!

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.

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!
