P1b

This week has been our Workd of Work Week. We have been very busy thinking about lots of different jobs we could do when we grow up. We had a fantastic careers  fayre on Friday and some of us dressed up to show what we would like to be.

Primary 1 have been working very hard since we came back after our Christmas holiday! We have been writing more independent sentences in the morning, all the teachers are very impressed!!

We have also been learning about Scotland and have made some super tartan pictures to go on display.

Maya – Scotland has bag pipes.

Thea – Scotland is a rainy country.

Matthew – Scotland has the highland games.

This week we have had a lot of fun doing Christmas art and we also had our party. We really enjoyed playing different games like pass the parcel, musical statues and corners. We were very lucky and also had a special visitor called SANTA!!!

We have been learning all about position and movement with Mrs Noble at maths time.

We know that this is all about here things are and the directions they move in.

We have been learning to understand and use lot of positional language in our play and tasks as well as learning how to operate the Bee-Bots.

This week we have been learning to write simple sentences using our common words and our sounds to write cvc words.

We know a sentence must start with a capital letter, end with a full stop and have finger spaces between words.

We have been reading a book called ‘Eric Makes a Splash’ in class. In this book Eric can be a little bit worried about trying new things but his friend Flora helps him and encourages him to try.

Today we were tasting some fruits and discussed our likes and dislikes. Mrs Oliphant is very proud of us for trying all of the fruit.

Joe – ‘The apples are delicious’

Robyn – ‘Bananas are healthy’

Zac – ‘I liked all of the fruits’

Oliver – ‘I didn’t like the banana’

Last week we went on a trip to the Science Centre. We completed a workshop relating to our 5 senses topic and got to explore and play. It was lots of fun!! 

We have been learning about symmetry with Mrs Noble.  We know that there has to be the same thing on both sides.  If you put a mirror down the middle of something you can use it to help you create a symmetrical pattern or picture.  We learned that one side is the mirror image of the other side.

Some of the activities we have enjoyed:

Kiara – I enjoyed making symmetrical playdoh bugs

Xavier – I liked making a symmetrical pattern with the peg boards.

Tilly – I used the bricks to make a symmetrical bug.

Tommy – I liked making a butterfly.

Harrison – I enjoyed going outside to see symmetry in nature.

Oliver – I found a leaf that was symmetrical outside.

Primary 1 have enjoyed celebrating and learning about Hallowe’en! We painted some super pumpkins with different faces 🙂 

Primary 1b have been learning about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We made some lovely collage bears to put on display in the hall 🙂
