This Week in Structured Play

2 Comments

P1a made very good use of the structured play area today when they were involved in a wide variety of activities.  Some good role play was going on in the dressing up area and symmetrical printing was successfully completed in the art area with lots of accurate work being produced.  Matthew’s big sister Nikita very kindly handed in a castle that she had previously made for a school project so that the boys and girls could play with it in the small world area – this proved to be very popular today so thank you Nikita!  In the maths area the children were sorting some Goldilocks and the Three Bears pictures as well as sorting the compare bears under the size categories big, medium and small.  At the literacy area, some people used the magnetic letters to write some words while others relaxed in the library area with a book! Lots of good work today Primary 1 – keep it up!

Tennis Taster 3!!

Leave a comment

P1a have once again loved their tennis coaching this week.  Coach Ian had the children working really hard and even extended their racquet and ball skills to include some partner work where the children had to sandwich the ball and travel together, dodging in and out the markers.  The boys and girls are working hard to improve their skill in rolling the ball around the rim of the racquet (Around the World) without it falling off!  Lots of sad faces appeared today when coach Ian reminded the children that next week would be their last week of the tennis tasters.

Symmetry in P1a

Leave a comment

This week in maths P1a have been learning all about symmetry.  The children have been successful in their learning and have worked hard to cut, stick and colour pictures to make them symmetrical, complete symmetrical paint prints during structured play and some groups worked with Miss Hewit to design symmetrical leaves to stick onto a tree.  Callum showed good skills with his symmetry work and make a symmetrical ladybird on the smartboard.  Well done everyone!

A Mystery in P1!

Leave a comment

On Tuesday, our friendly dragon left us a small bowl and a spoon in our library area.  P1a spent most of the day wondering what on earth the dragon was trying to tell us.  After racking their brains all morning, Detective Sarah eventually worked out that the dragon had left us this clue to tell us to read Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  The children enjoyed this story and were very good at using a big voice for daddy bear, a medium sized voice for mummy bear and a tiny little squeaky voice for baby bear!

Structured Play

1 Comment

Over the past few weeks, P1a have been working hard in the structured play area and have enjoyed dressing up in the role play area and using their imaginations with the small world castle.  Children also enjoyed using Jack’s magic beans at the maths table – counting, ordering and making shapes.

Strike!!

P1 have been working hard this week to learn the number stories of 6.  To help us do this we were using skittles.  The children took turns to roll the bowling ball to see how many skittles they could knock over.  We then wrote down how many skittles were standing and how many had been knocked down to help us work out all the number stories of 6.  Luckily the children were much better at this than Mrs Lloyd and are becoming faster with their recall of thenumber stories for 6.  Josh was a bit worried that Mrs Stewart might drop in and see us having too much fun!!

Scots Poetry

2 Comments

A big well done to P1a who have worked hard to learn their Scottish poems over the last few weeks.  Everyone stood up in front of the class and recited their poems really well, making Mrs Lloyd really proud.  Well done to Josh and Aaron who were selected to perform in front of the whole school at assembly.  You did great boys!

P1 Class Challenge

Leave a comment

A big well done to P1a from Mrs Lloyd for all managing to complete this weeks class challenge of zipping up coats all by yourselves.  Don’t be fooled parents – they can do it!!  As a reward, the class earned an extra five minutes golden time.  I am looking forward to seeing how well you do with next weeks challenge of not running when we are lining up.  Good Luck P1a!
