Primary 1

P1 Pirates

4 Comments

This week we have started our new topic – ‘Pirates’.  The boys and girls found a treasure chest in the playground last week and this week they also found a pirate hat and sword so now we know the treasure chest was definitely left by pirates.  We have started to think about what we know already and what we would like to find out about pirates.

P1b used their ICT skills in Clicker 6 this week to take their own photographs and to use the painting tools to make themselves look like pirates.  Be warned – some of these pirates look a bit scary!!!!

Lots of pirate fun was had in the structured play area too.  Some of the children enjoyed pirate jigsaws, others played with the pirate ships and a few people took on the maths challenge of ordering pirate pictures in size order.  Well done!

Mrs Smail has been working very hard on turning the role-play area into our pirate ship.  It looks fab and we can’t wait to use it next week.  Thank you so much.

Another busy week in Primary 1!  This week we have been revising our number stories to 10 in a variety of different ways.  We made paper chains, we coloured in ten frames and wrote down the different sums we made and we coloured in rainbows to help us link up the facts.  We are getting much better at pairing up numbers that add together to make 10.

We have also been practising our numbers to 20 and have been writing the numerals and counting objects accurately up to 20.

During our library time this week the boys and girls worked hard to use their reading skills to sound out some words in their books.

Olivia really impressed Mrs Lloyd when she found an Oxford Reading Tree book and sounded out almost all of the words perfectly.  She then even offered to help Nathan C when he had a go at reading it.  Nathan also did very well!  Thank you to Mrs Little who has very kindly displayed our Cat in the Hat rhyming art work in the library.  Doesn’t it look good?!

We have been working on becoming healthier and have started to walk a mile a couple of times a week.  Everyone has managed to walk the full distance and showed good stamina. Well done!

This morning we had a special visitor in class as Abi and her mum brought in baby Lawson.  He was so well behaved and the boys and girls were being very quiet and gentle with him.  Thank you for bringing him in to meet us all.  We all thought he was so cute.

At the beginning of the week P1a received a second clue about who the treasure chest was from ! We found a hat and a sword and decided it was from a Pirate!

It’s from a swashbuckler – Daniel G

We enjoyed playing with the pirate ships in the structured play area and are waiting for our pirate ship role play area to be completed !

We have also been making Pirate passports and thinking about what Pirates look like. Some of us have written about what items a Pirate would have.

In maths, we have been continuing to practise our number facts to 10 and counting up to 20. We have also been learning to share objects out equally between two people !

P1a have also been learning  about healthy eating this week. We found out that we have the right to have a healthy diet!  We have been sorting the healthy and unhealthy foods on to different plates.

The apple stops us from getting sick – Fraser

Bad food can rot our teeth – Leah

On Thursday, we made yummy fruit salads and we enjoyed tasting them !!

My  fruit salad is yummy – Cole

P1a have also started taking part in the daily mile challenge. Twice a week we go for a walk around the playground and the aim to be get better at walking and get fitter.
