Reading Week & SMUHA

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.

IDL – Topic Learning

This term our topic has been ‘Festivals and Celebrations’ we asked the pupils what they wanted to learn, they asked to learn about celebrations people have and the kind of beliefs they have, learners also wanted to know if we have the same beliefs.

We learned about remembrance day, birthdays, Diwali, Hannukah and Christmas. Here is a picture of our topic wall:

Our drawing club book has been ‘Stickman’ by Julia Donaldson. We have enjoyed every moment of drawing and writing about stickman, we have made a winter Stickman display and today we had a movie morning watching the BBC Stickman.

The last photo is our ‘Learning Journey Wall’ – the children choose photos to add and we decided to add some pupil voice quotes this term to tell the story of our learning.

Outdoor Learning – Posting Letters

Primary 1 have been learning about the post, we had a visit from a postman and last week we wrote ourselves a letter about the visit. We addressed our envelopes and spoke about the postcode, house names/numbers and the location our post would be going.

Today we walked to Sound Service to buy stamps, on the way pupils pointed out different environmental print and other interesting places/things:

Pupils were excited to get into the bus stop and look at the bus timetable, we spoke about the time the bus would be coming and how to get the bus to stop. We got to use the traffic lights for the first time today too.

‘Look that sign means 20 in your car, you can’t go faster!’

‘That is new houses being built… that sign says only workers and you have to wear a hat… that word says i…n… in.’

‘There is a Shetland pony, and is the baby one called a ‘foal’?

Pupils asked the shop worker for 15 stamps, they chose 2nd class stamps and then on the way back we stopped to look at frozen nature. We enjoyed holding the frozen leaves while they melted and crushing them near our ear to hear the noises they make.

Look out in the post for your child’s letter – hope you enjoy reading it together.
