Pancake Day – yum!
Primary 4 and 5 came up with a number of good reasons why Miss Leask should let them make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday – including weighing, measuring, reading instructions, sequencing, team work, co-operation to name but a few ….. how could she refuse 🙂
P.S. They were delicious!
NEW YEAR & NEW TERM FOR P1
Happy New Year everybody! We were all excited coming back to school and it was super to hear everybody’s Christmas news.
We learned a new sound – ‘x’ and played a game where we had to guess the animal x-ray. We also learned about symmetry and created symmetrical pictures.
We started our mini topic of ‘Up Helly Aas in Shetland’ and have really enjoyed playing in our galley shed with wood, construction toys, books and looking at the jarl squad suits and accessories on display.
We had a super visit from Mr Rose who learned us about balance, stability and gravity. We made tightrope walker toys which we loved trying to see if they could balance on lots of things in class.
Primary 1 Learning Log, Week 5
This week we have enjoyed making and playing in our new cake shop, finishing our paper mache space helmets, making oxygen backpacks with junk, singing number songs and our Christmas show songs with Primary 2. We also enjoyed Mandarin with Mr Lei and Fun Fit with Jacqui.
We have been been getting really good at sounding out words using all the sounds/letters we have got so far. We were introduced to Tiger 10 and have written our weekend news on our own.
Next week we will learn our final number from Number Zoo and move on to the next group of letters in Jolly Phonics.
P1 LEARNING (B)LOG
This week we learned about Spotty 7, ‘g’ and ‘o.’ We are still learning about space and making some space crafts.
This week we have enjoyed making our space rocket and we loved getting our new outdoor suits. We also enjoyed baking and eating Max’s birthday cake.
Next week we will have all new play activities and learning 2 new sounds and a new number in Number Zoo.
Fantastic Mr Fox and Fantastic ME.
We have been reading Fantastic Mr fox in class. P3 made Fantastic Mr Fox wanted posters and P4 wrote out adjectives to describe Fantastic Mr Fox. We think he is sneaky, terrific and fast.
This week we took photos of everyone in P3/4 and we all wrote down 4 things that we are Fantastic at.

Week 5 – Primary 1 – Learning (B)log
This week we have learned our new sounds – ‘e’, ‘c’ and ‘k.’ We learned about Feathery 4 and then we made some peacock fans. We have thought about day and night and also looked at how children’s lives have changed from over 100 years ago.
We really enjoyed Roald Dahl day. We had pink eggs for dinner, painted Roly-Poly Birds and had a fun time up in the library. We liked playing in the sand tray and making lots of models. We have enjoyed balancing on the wobble boards, dressing up in the Spanish dress using the castanets “ck, ck, ck” and we have loved sharing some of our favourite books from home with the class.
Next week we would like to make sticky pictures, play with the toy garage and cars, play with Lego and some jelly in the water tray.
Roald Dahl Day and our school trip
This week we had a Roald Dahl day. We dressed up as characters from the books and had lots of fun in the library. Some of the activities were a Roald Dahl inspired treasure hunt, there was a snozzcumber stew where we had to fish for 6 counters while blindfolded and we had 30 seconds and there was also a Roald Dahl book quiz. We also made Roald Dahl inspired drinks. It was lots of fun!
We also went on a school trip to the observatory in Lerwick and the Sound gospel hall. We learned they had to set of a weather balloon at 12am and again at 12pm. It cost £80 per balloon, so that’s £160 a day which means they spend £58400 a year. At the sound gospel hall we learned a bit about a different stories in the Bible at each station and then do a quiz about what we had learned. It was also lots of fun!
PRIMARY 1 – WEEK 4 – LEARNING (B)LOG
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.
