Miss Nisbet and Primary 1a invite you to share in their learning.
This week we have been learning about time. We learned o’clock times. O’clock times means the big hand needs to point to the 12. The big hand is called the minute hand. The little hand is called the hour hand.
If the time is 3 o’clock, the big hand points to the 12 and the little hand points to the 3.
Look at us practising outside!
We went on a sound walk inside and outside to listen for all the different things we could hear.
Before we went, we made listening ears!
We had to be very quiet to hear everything.
We heard some very quiet noises and some loud noises.
We made a list of things we heard inside and outside. We have out a picture on but our list didn’t fit on one page!
We heard a siren and a plane when we were outside. Teachers knocked on the window very loudly while we were outside!
We heard the radiators and scissors cutting inside. We heard lots busy people in school. Children were working and teachers were talking.
We built snowmen today. -Aydin
we liked building our snowmen. – Lewis
We went for a walk to see the other playgrounds and look for snowmen. – Erin
Primary 1 had lots of fun building snowmen. – Riley
This afternoon we went outside to play in the snow and build snowmen. It was hard work, we were bending up and down and running all around to find things to help us make great snowmen. It was cold but were kept warm by moving around all the time!
Look at the pictures of the fun we had.
We took our maths outside today. We were learning our numbers and did work on ordering numbers, looking for missing numbers, counting on and back and we have also been working hard on the number before…test me at home!!
Today we went on a walk outside to find signs of Spring.
When we first went outside we felt the air was cool but the sun was shining and made our heads and backs feel warm. We saw some buds on the bushes ready to come out.
Rhys saw birds and heard them chirping. Caiden saw some flowers growing in the garden. They were daffodils. Atholl saw a rabbit hole but didn’t see any rabbits in it.
For maths we learned about symmetry and made some lovely symmetrical Spring flowers.
We made some Spring pictures today. We painted the sky and the grass. Then we used brown paint to paint the trunk and branches. We then used pink paint and our fingers to paint the pink blossom on our Spring trees.
Look at the pictures of our fabulous Spring day!
We have been learning about 3D shapes.
The shapes we know are:
cylinder
cuboid
cone
cube
Caiden knows that a cylinder has 2 faces that are circles.
Amy knows that all the faces on a cube are square.
Niamh knows that a cone has 1 face that is a circle.
Erin knows that a cone has one point.
Emma knows that a cone has 2 faces. One is flat and one is curved.
Ewan knows that a cylinder can roll because it has one curved face. Cylinders also have 2 circle shaped faces, one at each end.
Today we went on a 3D shape walk outside to see what shapes we could see. Have a look at our photos.
Yesterday we had a wintery day in Primary 1. When we came in to school we went straight back out again to have a look for signs of winter.
This is what we saw: bare trees with no leaves, icy bits on the ground, red berries on bushes and the sun was low down in the sky. Our skin felt cold when we went out of the door into the playground.
We drew winter pictures with black pen when we came in and we wrote a sentence about winter. Then we painted, cut and stuck to make a winter tree picture.
Look at our photos to see the fun we had.
We have been learning about 2 D shapes.
Some of the shapes we know are – circle, square, triangle and rectangle.
Callum knows that a square has 4 sides which are all the same length.
Ewan knows that a triangle has 3 points and 3 sides which are all straight.
Rebecca knows that a circle is round and has no points.
Atholl knows that a rectangle has 4 straight sides and 4 points.
Brielle knows that a circle has one curved edge.
Today we went on a shape hunt around the school and took pictures of what we saw. We are sure you will agree that we were super shape hunters!!
