Some children asked to do sewing, they learned how to thread the needles and to join 2 pieces of felt together and add ribbons. There have been a mixture of creations from jelly fish, to snails to dinosaurs.
We’ve been exploring circuits in our play provision. Learning to create a circuit which powers a light. 💡
‘it needs a battery to make it work, like electricity in our switches!’
‘I managed to add a switch too so I can turn my light on and off!’
‘
It’s like a swimming pool’
’i can hear splash, splish, splash!’
Primary 6 and 7 watched us splashing and we told them how much fun it is to be a primary 1! Back in class we read ‘Ellie’s Magic wellies’ and sang rain rhymes!
We enjoy regular outdoor learning in Primary 1A, we have 1-2 dedicated outdoor sessions per week in addition to additional outdoor play opportunities all day. We have been using our communicating metaskills of talking about memories and experiences upon returning to class in addition to linking our knowledge of how our local landscape has changed over the seasons and course of Primary 1.
‘I found a shell that had patterns on it and she found one that looked like the other half!’
‘I like the feeling of the sand, it makes me calm to come to the beach!’
‘Outdoor learning is my favourite time of the week!’
