Maths Week

September 16, 2018 User deactivated Leave a comment

This week was Maths Week for the whole school. This meant there was a particular focus on Numeracy and Maths.

In P1/2, in Soft Play, the children played a number of games with a Maths link such as Snakes and Ladders and Connect Four.

We linked our PE to Numeracy and Maths.

We did a couple of orienteering exercises where the children were learning to read maps, follow routes in a numbered plan, recognise shapes and score using mental addition.

The children also practised number recognition, addition and subtraction facts through racing games.

In the forest, P 1 and 2 were making numbers in different ways.

We have been learning about forces in class.

We tested how far different cars could travel and what affected the distance they could travel such as different surfaces and weight.

In the park we explored what you had to do make the equipment move – either push or pull or both.

The children read the book the Bus Under the Leaves about an old bus being found and then painted with multi-colours! They decided to make one and paint it too.

In Drama, they went on a Magic Carpet Adventure visiting a tropical island and the North Pole!

The Christmas Nativity

December 23, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

After two months of hard work, the children performed their nativity, The Christmas Recipe!

They worked hard to learn their songs, words, dances, stage directions and to speak loudly and clearly in front of a large audience. There were also a few changes of costumes to play different characters. Before the performance the children also helped to paint pictures and signs to decorate the stage.

Well done children! Your hard work certainly paid off on the night!

This week the children were learning about the Moon orbiting the Earth and how both of these orbit the Sun.

The children worked in groups of three and made little head pieces of the Sun, Moon and Earth. They then went out to the playground and practised orbiting around each other.

P1/2 Visit Dundee Science Centre

On Monday 29th. May, P1/2 visited Dundee Science Centre.

On the way the children learned about the Tay Bridge Disaster and the 3 j’s that Dundee is famous for- jam, jute and journalism.

Once inside they were allowed to explore the different areas. This included a section of a huge head, which they could then slide down!

The children then watched a show all about minibeasts! Here they saw large minibeasts including cockroaches, spiders, snails and millipedes.

After lunch they put on lab coats and carried out a number of experiments related to our senses and how liquids react with each other.

Next it was back to exploring the Centre. One of the most popular exhibits was the sand pit, where the children made large hills and on these hills an ordnance survey map was projected onto it!

A big thank you to Hazel and Ben who came along and were great helpers!
