Primary 1 had to work together to build a chimney for Santa to go down. The elves were unsure what that was so Primary 1 showed them.

Primary 1 have been busy finding out about number through different things. They have made number aliens using Numicon, sequenced numbers and used mathematic language and have been playing games in learning too.
Primary 1 have been sorting and matching in maths this week. Looking for the odd one out, how things have been sorted and have been doing these activities in groups and working together. Here are some photos to show what they got up to.
We are delighted to be back at school and have had a busy two weeks settling in. We are all doing a great job and coping very well with all the new routines and things in class. The children are exploring and learning through play for lots of different things. Here are some photos showing what we have been doing. We are working with others and building on team work.
We have fun in maths. Some of us have been learning about coins, some of us have been learning about addition and subtraction.
Part of maths each day is learning through activities or active maths. This can done in many ways. We are currently learning number at the moment in Primary 1/2. Primary 2 are making a number line to hop along to help with their maths. Primary 1 are making numbers 1 and 2 with Playdoh. Then they were making one or two things to go with the number, some of these things were in the book Tiddler by Julia Donaldson.
We learn maths in different ways. You can learn maths through games not just through writing out sums. Here are some photos of us doing different things. If we are writing one time, we will play games at another time. We all take turns to do the same things.
We are currently learning number in Primary 1/2 and we begin each maths lesson with some activities. These can be games, paired work or problem solving. It helps to get our brains thinking and most importantly it is fun!
Here are some pictures of us doing maths with either Miss Morrison or Mrs Inkster.
This is us doing some problem solving with cubes and trying to find different shapes and patterns for ten cubes to link to the number.
Here we are ordering numbers to 10 and beyond with our partners.
And here we are doing a number activity with Miss Morrison.
Here is our curriculum overview for this term.
We had a week where we read about The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. We read The Gruffalo’s Child too. We also heard them in Shetland Dialect. That was very interesting as there were some words we had never heard before!
After that we went out foraging for ingredients to make some Gruffalo recipes. Here are photos of us doing that. We had great fun and used great language and role play used in our cooking and searching.
