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!’
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!’
Wow! Primary 1A have had a fantastic week celebrating reading and enjoying a range of stories. Miss Henry read us the Shetland Dialect Book ‘The Ooricks’ and we designed our own ‘Ooricks’. We had a Shetland Gruffalo Bookbug with Chloe from the Shetland Library with P2 and we all took home a book from the school book swap. We have been listening to audio books and practising our skills of listening without seeing pictures. We have been reading non-fiction books related to our IDL Topic – Growing.
We also enjoyed a visit from the SMUHA Jarl Squad today where we took a class photo at the Galley.
This morning we enjoyed a visit from Claire at Childsmile who taught us about why teeth brushing is important and what are healthy snacks at breaktime at school.
In Primary 1 we continue to brush our teeth at breaktimes supporting healthy oral health.
