PRIMARY 1/2 POP-UP CAFE

Leave a comment

When Primary 1 and 2 decided they wanted to have a pop-up café at the end of term, we began planning and thinking about what we would need to get and do.  We spoke about foods/drinks which would be easy to make in a busy classroom and also considered food allergies.

This week we have been busy baking and making sandwiches.  Everybody took part and worked really well together.

This morning, we were delighted to see so many people come into the classroom.  We had to have 2 different sittings as there were so many people wanting to come!  We had a fantastic time with everyone enjoying the food and drink and our waiters/waitresses working very hard attending on their tables.  Guests were then invited to go and see all the excellent gardening work they have been doing recently with Duncan in the greenhouse and polytunnel.

Donations given this morning amounted to £176.51 which we will put towards a trip next term.  Sincere thanks to everyone who gave so generously.

I hope everyone enjoyed their morning and will now enjoy a well deserved Easter break.  See you all in 2 weeks!

PRIMARY 1 LEARNING (B)LOG – WEEK 6

Leave a comment

This week in Primary 1 we have learned about teddy bears.  Paddington Bear came all the way from Peru to Shetland and is going to stay with each of us for 2 nights and hopefully have lots of fun adventures.

We wrote about our favourite toy and carefully chose the right coloured paint to paint a picture of the toy.

Mr Rose was in class on Tuesday and made wind powered toys with us.

We have been thinking about  numbers to 20 and also using a number line for addition.

We got our first blended phonic ‘sh’ and have been thinking about things that have that sound in it and also practising writing it.

We have had a number of visitors this week.  Sami who is a French teacher came in to see us on Monday, Mr Lei was in on Wednesday telling us all about the Chinese New Year and told us a story about the animals in the Chinese zodiac.  Then finally, on Wednesday we were really lucky to meet Mrs Simpson who was the first female Guizer Jarl in Shetland and came in to show us her suit and show us lots of photos from her Up Helly Aa.  We all really enjoyed meeting her.

PRIMARY 1 – WEEK 4 – LEARNING (B)LOG

3 Comments

This week we have learned the ‘n’ sound and all about Butterfly 3.  We have been listening to Roald Dahl’s story of the Enormous Crocodile and enjoyed a pop-up French story about Boucle D’or.

 

This week we have enjoyed doing Show and Tell, crafting, the morning walk, the playdough challenge, making words with our sounds and drawing with the chalk pens.

 

Next week we would like to learn how to count forwards and backwards, make some playdough and make it sparkly, learn about Feathery Four and learn some more sounds.

A Visit to P1/2 by Nurse Lynn

1 Comment

We had a fantastic visit from Nurse Lynn today who told us all about the jobs that nurses have to do.  She brought in lots of equipment for us to look at and use.  We had a baby clinic, weight & height checks, things to check our lung and oxygen levels as well as bandages, syringes and other items a nurse would use.

“It was really good fun”

“It was interesting to learn what nurses do”

“It was fantastic!”

P2 trip to the Aith Shop!

Leave a comment

Today P2 and Erland had the chance to visit the Aith shop to put what they’ve been learning about money into practice. Miss Murray gave them all post-it notes with a price on it, and they had to match this to a price they found in the shop. Miss Murray took our toy money with them to practice finding the right amount too. They even had the chance to use real money when they bought sugar and bananas for the school! Well done guys!

Primary 1&2 made a calendar

Leave a comment

We are thinking about time this term and decided to make a calendar.

Primary 2 made the grid part of the calendar and had to think about the year, month names, days of the week and the number of days in each month.  They worked really hard together to complete all 12 months for our calendar.

Primary 1 thought about months, seasons, weather and special events then designed a picture for each month.

We now have a calendar in the P1/2 and P2/3 classroom to look at and use.
