Using the story map We’re Going on a Bear Hunt the children changed the character to a dinosaur and had great fun retelling the story.
Listen out for the new characteristics of the dinosaur!
P1a: We’re going on a bear hunt!
P1 have been using ‘Talk for writing’ techniques to understand and retell the story, ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. We are very impressed at children’s ability to do this!
Scottish castles
As part of our Scotland topic we have been investigating castles. We built our own from loose parts, named and wrote labels about its features, voted on it’s name and setting. We brought this to life through green screen technology!
Using our microscope to explore outdoors
Mason from P1b told us all that he would like to see a snowflake close up, so we took Mrs Mackey’s microscope outdoors to investigate this and more! These pictures include snowflakes, the back of Oscars hand, Allana’s hair, our wooden bench and school sandstone bricks!
