Sorry it’s been a bit quiet recently…

We have continued to be super busy in class and we are all working so hard.

We’ve also been practicing our show songs on the stage – we are very excited for you to see us!

We had a brilliant time at sports day too – sorry these didn’t get posted earlier :-/

Today we have come home with our report cards… we hope you enjoy reading them!

We have really enjoyed exploring our new ‘space’ themed Learning Zone this week.  There is lots to do & we have been using our imaginations to role play.

At the creative table we have been experimenting with clay. We liked using it but found it a bit “squishy”. When you add water to it, it goes a bit “jiggly”.

We also have a Minibeasts discovery area and the Small World Area has ‘People who Help Us’  toys & costumes to play with.

Tomorrow we are going to try creating some art work for the Learning Zone wall – watch this space!

A great day in Primary 1. We’ve worked so hard today!

We enjoyed our reading tasks this morning before going out to play with the nursery preschoolers. After break we went to gym and took part in some obstacle courses.

This afternoon we completed some maths before exploring some of our rights in health and well-being.

Our Learning Zone was closed today as it was transformed into ‘space’ so we had a little play with some of our new resources in the classroom.

Have a brilliant long weekend & see you on Wednesday!

Today we were able to tell Mrs Thomson how we get onto Word & how to use the “down & around” button to go onto a new line. Then Mrs Thomson showed us how to change the size of our text & how to change the colour.

Some of us had a chance to play on the interactive board too!

Remember our post last week about retelling the story of the Little Red Hen? Well today we had a go at changing parts of the story to make it our own! We had a Little Green Hen who lived in a cotton candy castle, spiders, farmers & cows that all could talk & instead of corn the animals could eat hotdogs!

It was a lot of fun playing with a familiar story!

We had a great morning retelling the story of The Little Red Hen. We listened to the story without pictures, joined in retelling the story with Mrs Thomson & then created a story map. We used the story map to retell the story to a partner. We couldn’t believe how well we could tell the story!

We have also been learning how to tell the time using o’clock – we are getting pretty good.

It appears that the wrong code for Teach Your Monster to Read was put on the P1 homework for this week. The code for P1 is:

www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/u/2507523

This should allow you to have a go at home – I haven’t set any passwords so that it’s easier for children to work it in school. Their usernames are just their first name. I’ll pop a wee card into their homework folder on Monday.

Please note that if you want to use it on a tablet or phone you may have to pay for the app as it was only free for a certain period (but I’ll let you know if they are providing it free again!) however it should be free to play on a computer through the web.

We had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day!

We had the opportunity to visit 4 classrooms & listen to 4 different stories:

First we went to Mrs Lennon’s class to listen to The Cat in the Hat. We completed a couple of activities before moving onto Mrs Lang’s class to listen to Cops & Robbers & create a wanted poster.

After playtime we went to Miss Murray’s class to listen to The Tiger Who Came to Tea & have a tea party before finishing in our own class with Mrs Thomson reading The Day the Crayons Quit.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day – the children are invited to come along wearing a costume of their favourite character or in their PJ’s for a bedtime story. We have some lovely activities ready for them to take part in!

Friday is the Pancake Breakfast – you are all invited to come along to listen to our lovely singing & enjoy a delicious home-made pancake 🙂 As part of our performance we’d like the children to bring in their teddy bear.

Today we went to ICT to have a go at painting some familiar characters – Kipper and Floppy! We worked either with a partner or on our own. What do you think?

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Eco Active Day so children should come to school in their own clothes (suitable for being outdoors & ones you don’t mind getting a little dirty) ready to join in the action packed day!
