Thanks to everyone who came along for our (busy) learner led afternoon today. It was so lovely seeing everyone. (Thanks to Maisie, P2, for taking the photos!)
P1/2 made wheat using drawing and collage to form the shapes. Then they each made a tree using autumn colours. They chose their own colours and using wax crayons- templates to make leaf shapes – collaged their work making beautiful individual works. But together they make a wonderful and colourful forest.
They have drawn and made collages of hedgehogs and also created mini habitats for their hedgehogs to live in. P 1/2 have worked so hard and are so enthusiastic and eager to learn. It has been a pleasure to teach them.

For our “Big Question” this week – we are looking at sound and I was asked how it travels (great question!) So we looked at the idea of particles all around us and the vibrations causing bumps and it travelling in sound waves! We then did a game where they had to work out what direction the sound was coming from! Great fun was had by all!
We did some maths outside. We made a number stair case, multiplication and some tens and units!
Here is a snap shot of some of the things we have been doing this week for our animals play projects.
We have had a great start to the year in the Music class and P.1 have settled in well.
We have been singing songs about school and daily routines, and have been accompanying them on tuned and untuned percussion instruments.
It was such a lovely day that we decided to do our maths outside. We were looking at measurement and had a challenge to beat Miss Hunter on finding five different things and use words like “bigger,” “longest,” “longer,” etc.
Following our big question on mapping last week… we had to do Pirates for our play projects this week!!
We have been looking at mapping and have been creating our own maps, including a map key!! Some even created more maps during their play and some even did them at home!! Great work, primary 1/2.
We love being outdoors!
