Today we were investigating nets of cubes. We used polydron to see how many different types of nets we could find. My group found 6 ways.

A busy week for Primary 1
This week we have met Tiger Ten and learned our new phonics ‘m‘ and ‘r.’ We have been thinking about fireworks and how to keep safe on bonfire night. We also spoke about how to keep safe on dark nights by wearing reflective clothes. We went on a walk with Mrs Nicolson to look at 3D shapes in our environment.
Primary 1 starts term 2
We’ve had a busy week back at school after the holidays. We learned all about Naughty 9 and our new letter ‘h.’ We all designed and painted our own Minion and have been thinking about our new topic for this term which is ‘Light.’ We have chosen to turn the huge box we got into a lighthouse for us to play in, in the classroom.
Last Week of Term
This week everyone has been busy, busy, busy!
On Wednesday Wendy from Burra Bears came in to speak about her workshop. She showed us the bear they made for Shetland wool week. It was very interesting and we all hope she can come again.
In P.E primary 6 and 7 made a human pyramid and it was very hard to do! Everyone kept on falling over and we laughed.
In maths primary 6 and 7 made kites. They were very sturdy but some went in circles when they flew. Were making kites because we’ve been learning about the properties of shapes in Friday maths.
We hope everyone has a lovely holiday!

Square numbers
For maths we were making square numbers out of cubes. The first square numbers are 1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100.We found out if you put them on t0p of each other then it creates a square based pyramid. by Edward and Duncan

P1/2 have been learning about maps and directions. We put our thinking caps on to work out which picture represented the crossroads. It was great fun programming Beebot to deliver the letters.
