In gym this week we have been doing Obstacle Courses. They make it tricky for us to cross the hall. They make us do lots of different movements like, jump, over and under, balancing, running, zig zagging, and sliding.

On Tuesday we were the ones making the obstacle course because we were showing that we could be safe with the equipment. We worked in groups to pick our equipment and decide how to build the course.

We got to try all of the obstacle courses and we thought they were all great and easy! It was fantastic!

Our favourite parts were:

Jumping over – James & Lewis M

Zig Zagging in the cones – Kacey

Sliding – Callan

Under and Over – Zara

 

Today Miss Kinloch brought in her gold fish bowl. Inside the bowl there was some fish and they were special because they had our common words on them. BUT in our class we have some very naughty kittens and they were trying to take our common word fish!

The boys and girls shouted ‘Naughty Kittens!’ and we tried to make the kittens put them back. To do this the kittens showed us their words and we had to say what it was. If we got it right the kittens had to put the fish back.

It was fun – James

It was great – Zara

It was fantastic – Donald

Excellent – Zak

I didn’t like the Naughty Kittens – Rory

This week we used Goldilocks and the three bears to help us do our sorting. We were sorting by size.

We got to sort the pictures from the story from big to small, sorted the bears on the smart board to get them ready for a walk with the right size clothes on, we sorted what the bears needed by size and we sorted the compare bears into daddy bears, mummy bears and baby bears.

We thought it was fun!

On Thursday we started learning something new in Health & Wellbeing. We started to learn about staying safe. Our friend Oscar asked us where we feel safe and we had lots of ideas like being with family or adults, in the school, in our bedrooms and in our houses. We learned that it is very important to be safe in school too especially in the gym hall. We made up some rules, here they are..

 

Here we are in the gym hall being safe!

Yesterday we were Rhyming in P1b and we were AWESOME!!

The words we were rhyming with came from our story ‘The Three Little Pigs’. We had to think of words that sounded the same. Some of them were easy like ‘stick’ and ‘pot’ but some were very hard like ‘straw’ and ‘pig’. Thankfully Miss Kinloch had an ideas page in case we ran out of our own ideas. Take a look at the picture of our hard work…

This week in Numeracy we have learning all about 3!

We had to put all the number 3’s in the 3 green box.

We made our number 3 with the playdough.

We practised writing number 3.

We had to count out 3 and put it in tubs.

‘Around the tree, around the tree that is the way to make a 3!’ – Donald

P1 homework 2 2016

Here is the latest homework sheet for primary one (in bags 9/9/16). If you need a replacement paper copy let Miss Kinloch know ASAP via the Homelink Diary.

Literacy:

This week we learned the letter a. We had to feed a monster in our class but he only eats ‘a’ this week so we fed him an arm, an apple, an aeroplane, an alien, an anchor, an astronaut, an ant, an axe and an alligator!

Our new topic:

Our topic is the three little pigs. On Monday we were doing stations for our topic. We got to read the book in the library, we made the little houses in construction, in the house corner we were pretending to be the characters, we used some playdough to make pig faces and wolf faces, we used puppets, and at the writing station we made words from the story with the letter beads. We all had great fun! Later in the week we showed off our colouring, cutting and sorting skills to make a straw, stick and brick house. Check out our pictures…

 

Our Maths & Numeracy:

This week we learned the number 2! We have been writing it, making it and we learned a little rhyme to remember it too.

We have also been busy sorting. We can sort things by colour and on Friday we did a colour hunt and we were in teams wearing colourful bibs. It was really good and we had fun!

 

Thank you for reading our blog!

Since we’ve been at school we have been very busy making and writing our names. It is important that we can read and write our names because they are ours.  We’ve worked hard making our names with giant chalk in the playground, crayons, pens, playdough, beads, sand, and in the Big Book of Names!
