Primary 1/2  found out about Chinese New Year. We found out that this year is the Year of the Monkey. We made Chinese lanterns and got to practice Chinese writing and using chopsticks.

P1/2 and P3/4 got together on Thursday and did some fantastic dancing to prepare us for the busy day ahead.

Primary 1 are learning about Measure through problem based learning activities and purposeful play.  In our classroom we have a “Science Lab” to help us learn about capacity, a “Dinosaur Park” to help us learn measure vocabulary, a “Construction Site” to help us learn about length and a “Bakery” to help us learn about weight.  We had great fun using our interactive areas to practise our measuring skills on Number Day!

Primary 1 are learning about Addition in Maths.  Active games help us to problem solve and use different strategies in new learning contexts.  We love playing the “Double or half it” game by throwing the correct beanbag into the cup, making “spider doubles” using the pegs, using the “addition machine” and playing addition games on the Smart Board.  In Maths, we work co-operatively and independently to develop our mathematical skills.

Primary 1 have been learning how to dribble and control the football.

Primary 1 enjoyed playing “Tunnel Tig” to practise moving into a space.

Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 worked together to make Scottish porridge.  We used the “bridge” knife technique to cut some bananas and Scottish strawberries for our porridge.  It was delicious!

P.3/4 are loving learning new golf skills and games.
