P1 Nursery Rhyme Week

Primary 1c had a fantastic time taking part in Nursery Rhyme Week. The week began with a mysterious crime scene involving Humpty Dumpty! As well as solving the crime, we learned and shared a variety of rhymes and took part in lots of exciting activities.

Fireworks!

On Friday 3rd November we were learning about Bonfire night. We discussed Guy Fawkes and  why we have fire works. We also discussed how to keep safe .

We made fantastic fireworks from junk and lovely fireworks pictures using string!

Children in Need

On Friday 17 November the  Assessment and Development Class will be joining the school to support Children in Need. Friday will be a non uniform day. This year’s theme is “Spotacular” so children can wear spotty clothing  or maybe some spotty face paint.  We will be collecting donations by having a “chuck it in the bucket” as well as lots of fun activities.

Assessment and Development Class

This week we are doing lots of learning through the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Some of the activities we will be doing are;

  • listening to and talking about the story
  • listening to and joining in the song
  • taking turns and remembering where the cards are to make a pair
  • using playdough to complete activities
  • making a house out of construction resources
  • decorating the pig’s houses
  • taking turns during the bingo game
  • listening to instructions to colour a picture

Today we used Duplo, Stickle bricks and wooden brick to make a house for the three pigs. The best bit was pretending to be the Big Bad Wolf and huffing and puffing and trying to blow the houses down!

Look at all our hard work!

Today we joined with the primary one and two classes for the Halloween Costume Parade! We all looked fantastic!

When we returned to class we carved a scary, spooky, pumpkin! We all enjoyed dooking for apples! Some of us were brave enough to put our face in the water!! We had a fantastic party with lots of dancing, musical chairs, pass the spooky pumpkin and ate lots of sweeties!
