Outdoor Learning – Term 2 Week 2

Pupil Voice:

‘This is the bonfire, wir needing some more rocks to go aroond it.’

‘We are need a fire lighter… we dunna have one lets use two sticks and rub them together’.

‘We can grab onto this with both hands and left our feet up and swing across to the other side’.

‘I am like a koala in the tree, hanging down from my arms and legs’.

Lots of role play in the wildlife area today, bonfire and den making as well as creating games in the trees. When it rained we hid in the den of trees and read the story ‘Where the wild things are’ then we revised our phonics sounds and blended some sounds to read words.

Our IDL topical learning will be road safety and festivals/celebrations. If you have any time to share in expertise in this area you are most welcome into our classroom.

Please can learners return home learning folders and diaries daily to school so these can be updated regularly with new phonics sounds. We will be performing a play this term called ‘The Little Blue Star’ your child may come home with lines to learn. They will be supported with this in school too.

Looking forward to a busy exciting term 2!

Term 2

Primary 1A have been using paper to make ‘laptops’ and shown lots of interest in role playing ‘offices’. Luckily, we were given an old monitor and keyboard as well as two phones so pupils created an office in the classroom. Post it’s have provided lots of mark making opportunities, taking phone orders and messages and exploring the outdoor space with note making.

Mrs Sjoberg collected a huge box of conkers on holiday, we’ve been painting some, ordering by size, using them to count and some pupils chose to make numbers and phonemes using them. Lastly, we are getting quicker at ordering our human numberline and are so good at communicating with each other whilst supporting each other to get into the correct order.

So happy to see the pupils back in class after the holidays and so engaged in their play.
