Our last Welly Wednesday ☀️

Primary 1 have gained so much this year from outdoor learning. From developing our fine and gross motor skills, our social and emotional regulation and our ability to enjoy the vast benefits of the outdoors. Thanks for all your support this year in getting your little learners outdoors.

Reading Buddies

We love our reading buddies. They’re so good to us, modelling a love of reading, sharing stories with us and listening to us while we read to them. Thank you P5.

Drawing Club

We are in our 4th term of drawing club, the benefits to listening and talking, reading, writing, story telling and wellbeing are fantastic. Most of all we love the fun, the enthusiasm children have for it and the endless possibilities. This week we are using the ‘Wacky races’ as our provocation and enjoyed drawing A2 size race tracks. Our imaginations ran wild and we loved it. 🚗

The endless possibilities of a cardboard box!

‘it’s a flying ship taking us to far away lands’

’we’re flying, look there are mermaids, help while I job over!’

‘I am a magician, I can make people disappear…’

‘it’s a race car, look I drew wheels on it’

‘I’ve written some words on the box, look at my letters!’

Drawing Club

Primary 1 loved having their parents or buddies join them to do drawing club. We shared our phonics learning that occurs naturally through drawing club inputs and expanded our vocabulary of the story further through reciprocal drawing.

 

Learning logs – Up Helly Aa

This week we all wanted to write about Up Helly Aa, we were soooo excited to have been on a trip to the street to see the Jarl Squad and wanted to share our learning in our learning log.

Outdoor Learning – Beach Explorers

Primary 1A had a lovely morning exploring the beach near our school, we sat for 1 minute with our eyes closed listening to the sound of the burn carrying the rain water down from the hills to the sea. We felt very relaxed.

Then we counted out 10 stones and practised our number formation using chalk to write the numbers on the stones. We counted them forwards and backwards to each other.

Then we explored the rock pools, the burns, the stones and gathered some sea treasures to bring back to school with us. We are enjoying increasing responsibility as we learn to be safe in the outdoors.

 

Good Morning Everyone!
I really enjoyed seeing your snow day photos in my emails, thank you for sending them to me. You can also post on the News channel on TEAMS if you would like to share.
If you’re looking for some learning to do today remember the homework grid for this week and a short snow day activity grid is available on Teams, I will attach them below.

Enjoy your day home – hope to see you all back in school soon!

A Day in the Life of a P1

Morning: We start out day with continuous provision (free play), our morning job (independent and we have 50 mins to decide when we want to do it) was painting Moon using paper plates. We finished our solar system art work and we played ‘word pick and mix’ reading and then writing the word on the balls. Mrs Sjoberg takes each group for reading and phonics too while we play.
Teaching Time: Doh Disco, singing nursery rhymes and speaking about our weekends and news, we then drew and wrote our news in our jotters.
PE: We had PE with Mrs Ritchie, learning dance and movement.
Teaching Time: We learned about Moon phases and watched a video about the types of Moons. We played a phonics game as a class.
Afternoon: We learnt a new phonics sound and revised all the others, we played during continuous provision and we enjoyed playing with the light box making words, numbers and shape pictures.
Teaching Time: Counting to 30, we sang our counting to 30 song and then our afternoon job (independent we have 30 mins to do it) was writing the missing numbers in the number lines. Mrs Sjoberg took us to the red table to roll dice and make addition sums using tens frames.
End of the Day: We ended the day with Yoga and two stories. One read by Mrs Sjoberg ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’ and one read by Cbeebies bedtime stories online.
Phew! What a busy day being a P1! Photos on our class TEAM.

We love Drawing Club!

We are developing so many essential learning skills and attitudes through drawing club. We have opportunities for personal success, for peer, group and whole class discussion. Fostering a love of reading and stories and expanding our vocabulary. Take at look at our journey below. This week we are reading ‘The Night before, the night before Christmas’ and Mrs Sjoberg was so impressed with our pre-handwriting skills, our emergent writing of numbers and sounds/short words. But the most exciting party is the enthusiasm everyone has for sharing their drawings!
