We have been learning about our senses and what it might be like if our senses don’t work as well as they should. We had two visitors in class to help us understand what that might be like. Mrs Piper joined us to talk about Visual Impairment and Mrs Thornhill talked to us about British Sign Language. We also played games where we had to use our senses to work out a problem or solve a puzzle. We even had a go at Goal Ball.
P1 have been measuring and estimating this week. Using different equipment we have been weighing objects and measuring water. We are learning to use words such as- heavy heavier heaviest, light lighter lightest, holds more holds less. There was a lot of good thinking and talking going on in the classroom!
We are learning about water and its uses. Here are just some of our watery activities. We also learnt about Yero the Rainbow Snake – an Australian Aboriginal story about rain.
We have been learning about take away in Maths. We took our counting and resources outside to practice our number skills.
Our new IDL topic is Senses. To get us thinking about how important they are, we had a visit from Isobel who is blind and her guide dog Spice. We learned a lot and was very impressed with how calm and clever Spice was.
It was a great start to we hope will be a very interesting few weeks.
Recently we visited the residents at the Speyside Care Home and sang our Spring songs. We remembered all our actions and words. We certainly made everyone smile and we enjoyed ourselves too. Well done everybody you got a class Oscar for all your hard work.
As part of our learning we were thinking about living and non living things. Primary One grew seeds- grass seed and cress seed. Some seeds had all the right conditions- the needs of the seed and some did not. Look at our yellow grass -it grew in the cupboard!
We had a visitor to our French lessons recently. Tristan is the French assistant for the local Speyside schools and he came to tell us a little bit more about France. We played a game with colours and of course Camembear was there too.
P1 have been learning about the needs of a seed. We made actions, sang songs and made a small play to remember a seeds needs…water, space, light(and warmth) ,air ,soil and time.
P1 listened to the classical piece of music -Vivaldi’s “Spring” and made a spring inspired mural. We had a lovely sunny spring day for it too!
