Today was our class assembly. We were very excited to show off our learning to our adults. Some of us were a little bit nervous too!

Miss Kinloch said we all did an amazing job and made her so so so proud! We loved seeing our adults and we were so good at our lines.

We want to say thank you to everyone who came to our assembly. You are all amazing!

Love P1b

This week we started a new topic all about Percy!

We had a bit of excitement in P1 as we had a letter from Percy that had blown away and had to find it under wood in the playground!

Percy wants to help us find out more about his job as a park keeper, his animals and living things.

On Thursday we got to do some super fun new stations for Percy! Our house corner has turned into a Garden Centre and we do special jobs for Percy’s plants. At the writing area we were writing our own stories about Percy and his animals. In the library we used the animal puppets to act out the story. At the creative area we made a new wheelbarrow for Percy. At the construction area we made a tree house for Percy and his animals just like in the story!

We are enjoying our new topic and we can’t wait for our next letter from Percy!

Yesterday we had something very exciting happen!

We went to visit P2’s chicks! They were so cute! We can’t wait to visit them again when they are bigger!

Primary 1B have been so busy since coming back after the Easter Break learning about Fractions! We have learned the fraction called a half.

We know it is a half because it will be the same on both side and you get two equal pieces.

On Thursday we took our learning about halving outside! We worked as a team to half some even numbers. The first person had to run up and get the amount of cones the teacher said. Person number two had to put the cones inside the hoops and share them in half. The third person had to write the half story with giant chalk! Miss Kinloch thought we were all amazing!

Good Afternoon,

I hope you all had a great Easter holiday. It has been lovely hearing all the exciting holiday stories today. I can’t believe we are already in term 4. This is another busy term with lots to get through.

The children have the new homework in their bags. This will be issued on a Monday and should be returned to class every Friday. The homework pack includes a printed version of the choosing grid and on the back is a list of active spelling strategies and suggested websites for you to keep in a safe place at home. This won’t be reprinted as you can access it here:

P1 Homework Grid

It is designed to offer more flexibility as to  how many tasks you/your child select each week. the tasks/skills and websites that your child has completed can be recorded on in the space provided on the weekly A5 homework checklist.  The children can also colour in a smiley face once they have completed their school reading book each night. Within the pack is the maths worksheet. Please ensure your child brings their new homework wallet to school on a Friday so that the new weekly checklist can be added and new homework sheet inserted to avoid lots of loose paper getting lost.

Please see below the weekly checklist for week beg: 16th April

Thank you for your continued support,

This week has been the World of Work Week in Chryston Primary. As part of Primary 1’s committee they had been learning about People who Help Us. This week we have been so lucky because we met a Police Man, the Fire Brigade and a Midwife. We know they all help us in different ways and are part of the emergency services!

On Friday we got to visit out lunch hall. BUT there was lots of people there to tell us about all their different jobs. There was opticians, the ice cream shop, a paramedic, recycling centre, photographer, lawyer and an author!

Some of our favourite parts were….

Meeting the ice cream lady – Erin & Scott

I enjoyed all of it – Harrison

I liked the opticians because of the glasses – Josh, Sarah & Sienna

I liked meeting the lawyer – Zane

I liked meeting the lady who paints – Carys

I liked meeting the policeman – Zak

I liked seeing the Aston Martin – Logan

 

 

 

 

This week we have been learning all about Subtraction. We know some different words for subtraction they are take away, minus, less and subtract.

We have done 5 stations to practise taking away.

1. We used the buses to jump back on the 20 number lines by rolling a dice.
2. We had a dragon that was taking away our gold, we had to find out how many were missing by using our fingers.
3. We had one with a wizard who made us close our eyes so we wouldn’t see how many gems he took away. We had to find out how many were missing.
4. We had a jumble sale station were someone took some of the things away and the rest found out how many were missing.
5. We used Dinosaur land and someone took away some of the dinosaurs. Everyone else had to find out how many dinosaurs were gone!

We always have to remember to use our fingers!!

Today we celebrated World Book Day! It was fantastic to get to read some of our favourite books with the class.

Primary 1b love reading books!

Yesterday we took part in the Highland Games in the gym hall. There were 3 adults; Mrs Hansen, Miss Kinloch and Miss Nisbet. Only the Primary 1’s were taking part.

We split into 4 groups which we called Clans. There was Douglas, Anderson, Campbell and Bruce. We had a shield to show which clan we were in.

We took part in 4 activities. They were the Farmers Dash, the Welly Toss, the Caber toss and the Shot Put. We used our shields to mark how far we could throw. Every Clan won an activity!

After our Highland Games we were very lucky! We came back into class and we got a little of irn bru and a bit of shortbread. We had them because they are food and drink from our country Scotland.

We had a great time at our Highland Games!!
