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.
STEM Maths – Outdoors
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.
Play Project – Pirates
Following our big question on mapping last week… we had to do Pirates for our play projects this week!!
Mapping – Big Question
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 outside
We love being outdoors!
Speedy Skills
On arrival, we have some speedy skills to carry out. This might be to write the perfect letter or number or to write a sentence or a word or even complete a sum…
Making Ice Cream
As part of our big question, we were looking at freezing and melting and what better way to investigate this than making our own ice-cream. Recipe is below!
Make Ice Cream
Resources:
-
Ice cubes (sufficient to half-fill the larger bag)
-
2 re-sealable plastic bags (1 small, 1 large)
-
120g salt
-
120ml milk
-
20g caster sugar
-
2.5ml vanilla essence
-
Spoon
-
Gloves (optional)
Activity:
- Pour the milk, sugar and vanilla essence into the small plastic bag. Ensure it is sealed properly so that it cannot leak.
- Place the ice cubes and salt into the large bag, then place the small bag inside the larger bag and seal shut.
- Shake the bags vigorously for around 5 minutes. Note: Squeezing the bag repeatedly speeds up the process. You may wish to wear gloves as the bag becomes very cold.
- While you are shaking the bag, ask your child what they think is happening to the milk mixture (milk is freezing from a liquid into a solid)
- Open the outer bag and carefully remove the inner bag, making sure you don’t get any of the salty water into the ice cream. Note: If it’s not ready, simply reseal the bags and continue to shake.
- Share the ice cream with your child/ren
African Drumming
We were so lucky to have Joy joining us this week for some African drumming. She told us all about the drums and showed us some rhythms! She even gave us some homework for next week!
