Primary 1A 2018 Our Class Blog
Our Learning Journey
In term 1 we’ve been listening to lots of stories and using our class library to choose books we would like to explore.
We have also been visiting the school library where we have selected story sacks with a partner and enjoyed sharing them in the classroom.
In term 2 we get to take a book home each week from the school library to share with our families. We can’t wait.
We were delighted to welcome Dawn Manson into our classroom today to help us learn how important it is to keep our hands clean and how we can do this really well.
We got to use the ‘Magic Potion’ which represented germs and look at them under the ultraviolet light. The invisible ‘Magic Potion’ glowed under the special light. Then we washed our hands to see if we could was away all the germs.
This helped us see how tricky germs are when we can’t see them and how important it is to wash our hands really well with soap and water.
Then after washing our hands we came back to double check if they were clean.
We did a brilliant job and all had lovely clean hands. We keep practising this every day when we wash our hands before snack and lunch.
We have been learning about the changes which happen outside in Autumn and found out that the hedgehogs are busy preparing to sleep for the winter.
We created our own hedgehogs for our wall display. We painted our hedgehog body using paper plates then we cut out our spines and glued them on. Here are some of the hedgehogs being made.
In primary 1 we’ve been practising counting orally up to 20 and backwards from 10 to 0. We have also been working on counting objects.
Working with a partner to find out ‘How many?’
Identifying and matching the domino/dice dot patterns.
Counting objects and matching the total to a number.
Using our fine motor skills to count very small objects.
We really enjoyed the story about Gerald the Giraffe who thought he couldn’t dance. He found out that he could when he chose music that he enjoyed.
The music he needed was different to the music that the other animals used.
So we talked about how we are all different and all good at different things and that’s what makes us special.
Here are some of the pictures showing how we made our Gerald.
