We have had another busy week in Primary 1!
Maths:
This week we learned about ‘Ticklish two’, ‘Butterfly three’ & ‘Feathery four’. We read each of the Number zoo stories, discussed how to represent the numbers, learned the formations, looked at each Numberblock and discussed what numbers come before/after. We then made a craft for each number which linked to the Number zoo animal. We had a lot of fun using pens, pencils, oil pastels & feathers. We also further developed our scissor skills through cutting out shapes for our number pictures.
We also started 2D shape this week, focusing on circles & triangles. We spoke about the sides and corners of these shapes and how there are different types of triangles. We hunted for things around the classroom and school that are circle or triangular. After that, we all had a shot of stamping circles and triangles to make different pictures!
Drawing club:
This week we did ‘The Runaway Pea‘. We drew the Pea, the places he bounced to and then for our ‘I wonder’ day we imagined some new places the pea bounced to, we had some brilliant ideas – the swimming pool, the play park, the jungle, the beach. We even had some Runaway peas off of our trays at lunchtime!
Rhyme:
We read lots of rhyming stories this week – ‘Zog’, ‘Room on the Broom’ and ‘A Busy Day for Birds’. We also played lots of rhyming games which we did excellently on! Our song of the week was ‘Incy Wincy Spider‘. We will be starting our first phonic sounds next week.
Big Question:
Our big question this week was ‘what do hot and cold things feel like?‘ We looked at melting and heating and how this can affect different things, such as ice. We sorted frozen vegetables to find the Runaway peas. We also created our own ice cream pictures to be displayed in our ‘Ice cream shop’ role play area next week.
Play Project:
Our play project this week was ‘animals’. We focused on ‘create’ and using our imagination. We all channelled excellent creativity to make jungles, animal houses/habitats, animal robots and drawings/paintings of different animals.
Play:
We were busy playing in the classroom and open area this week. Some favourites were – construction, the puppet show and the sand.
Extras:
Group 1 had swimming with Mrs Kirkness on Monday. We all had music with Mrs Peterson on Tuesday, PE with Mr Williamson on Wednesday & Friday, a visit to the library on Thursday and trips up to ‘the trees’ on Wednesday and Friday. It was a busy week! Our learning log for this week is pictured at the bottom 🙂
