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.
Here are some of the activities we have been doing in the forest this term. This has included using saws and peelers and learning how to keep safe with these.
The children have also been learning 2D and 3D shape, grouping and sharing.
It started off with little ones for our fairies whose homes were blown away by Sneezy the Dragon.
We then made dens in which at least one person could fit in to.
Finally we learned how to made square knots, which we used to help us make a freestanding den with a tripod. In all of these tasks we were learning the skill of working with others.
P1/2 are just back from their fabulous time at the Transport Museum in Glasgow.
We started off with a tour with the Tram Man who guided us around the different trams showing us how they worked and how people had to board them and sit on them too. He also showed us their safety features with the help of Rhys who ended up being below one of them!
We then had a walk around the many exhibits before lunch.
After lunch we continued our tour, which included going on board the steam locomotives, in and out of the old style shops and aboard the Glen lee ship, where some of the children were put to work scrubbing the decks!
After our visit to the shop we had to go back home. A big thank you to Hazel and Mr Davidson who were our parent/grandparent helpers!
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!
The children also searched for signs of Autumn and found a variety of leaves and acorns. Once again, there were no conkers from the horse chestnut tree.
The children also played games to help them order numbers and revisit place value.
P1/2 enjoyed their first visit to the forest with our helpers Hazel and Mr Howie.
In this visit the children learned safety rules in the forest, made soup with their kellie kettles, made numbers and letters on the ground with different outdoor items and searched for different fungi.
