This week in Maths we were learning to learning to add 1,10, 100 and even a thousand to numbers up to 10.000.
561 + 10 = 571
5601 + 100 = 5701
In writing, we were learning to write the beginning of a story and we were focusing on capital letters and full stops.
During topic time, we started to learn about John Logie Baird and he invented the Television. We used the computers to research facts about him!
Well done to Arran McSporran for getting Star of the Week for all his hard work!
We have been learning about Place Value and partitioning. When we partition we break the number up into the ThHTUs.
e.g. 450
400 + 50 + 0 = 450
We have also been practising our sentence construction by building silly sentences in groups !
This afternoon the children enjoyed taking part in their sports day. They participated in a quoit race, egg and spoon race, running race and obstacle relay race. The younger siblings had a running race and there was parents race where the mums and dads had to go backwards with a quoit on their head.
Last week P1/2 enjoyed an exciting eco week. On Monday, we learned all about worms! We had Joanne visit us with her wormery. We found out that worms are good at recycling and they even make compost. We enjoyed working in groups to create the life cycle of a caterpillar before our trip to see ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ later in the week.
We also learnt about the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and even designed some new bag ideas for ASDA!
On Thursday, we went to see the performance of ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ and it was amazing! Mrs Lloyd was very impressed and we all thoroughly enjoyed our trip and represented Bankton Primary really well!
On Friday, we performed our P1 assembly to our families and spoke with confidence and with our big loud, clear voices. We shared lots of our learning that we have done this year and look forward to telling the nursery children and their parents about this on Wednesday!
Bankton Primary School was delighted to be showcasing the work we have been doing to encourage reading through our breakfast book club at the First Minister’s Reading Challenge Celebration today.
We were so proud of our book club representatives who came to share our work with other schools from across Scotland as well as with some very important people that you may recognise!!!
Last week Primary One enjoyed taking part in health week and we learnt lots about how to keep ourselves healthy.
We had a visit from Dexter the Dragon and he taught us how to brush our teeth correctly. We also enjoyed taking part in different activities such as wake and shake, multi sports and yoga.
Primary One also had a special visit from the Ambulance Service who taught us how to save a life and do basic CPR. We also know how to call in an emergency -999!
We also loved going on the big daily mile walk around the local community with our mums and dads!
On Monday we had a great start to health week. We started the day taking part in some multisports activities and had fun practising our steps up, dribbling, throwing and rolling. It was really fun!
We also enjoyed a visit from Lisa from Childsmile. She brought along Dexter the Dragon to help teach us about how to brush our teeth properly. We all got to have a turn of brushing Dexter’s teeth and know how important it is to brush our teeth twice a day.
In the afternoon, we discussed healthy and unhealthy foods and completed the healthy lunchbox competition and today we found out Caleb was the P1/2 winner! Well done!
On Tuesday, we learned about how to save a life and what to do in an emergency. It was really good fun and we also learned that we should all be able to say our addresses incase we ever need to tell someone. Can you tell someone your address?
We also learned about the importance of sleep and good bedtime routines. We learned about how much sleep lots of different animals and people need and about what we can do to make sure we have a good sleep.
Mrs Sinclair took us to learn about yoga. We all took part in some hungry caterpillar yoga and loved it!
On Tuesday and Friday morning Miss Dyet led our ‘Shake and Wake’ which was really good fun. Even mums, dads, brothers, sisters and grandparents were allowed to take part! It woke us all up in the morning!
Finally, today we went for a lovely ‘Daily Mile’ walk around Dedridge pond and some of our parents even joined us too! It was a great health week!
Last week in maths we were busy practising counting in 2s. We used magnetic numbers, cubes, lego and much more to help us to do this. Mrs Lloyd is impressed with how we are doing!
We also practised using positional language to give directions. We went outside to the playground and Mrs Lloyd pretended we were robots and programmed us to move and follow her directions!
On Tuesday, we welcomed parents in to see the super work that we have been doing in maths during our last PATPAL event of the session. We were the teachers and were teaching all the parents and grandparents! Thanks to everyone who was able to come along and join us. It was so much fun!
In our topic work, we were learning about the different parts of a pirate ship. We used our cutting and sticking skills to label a picture. We are getting really good at remembering the different parts.
Finally, we were developing our ICT skills and used a computer programme called Clicker 6 to turn ourselves into pirates! Only a few of us have had a go so far but everyone will get a turn!
Primary One have been enjoying the super weather this week! We enjoyed taking part in the sponsered fun run!
In maths, we have been learning about positional language and practised putting Wellow bear in different positions around the chair. We used words like beside, underneath, inside, behind etc. We also started to learn about our left and right! Can you remember the special trick Miss Rodford said would help us to remember our left and right!
Well done Primary One!
Primary 1/2 have been working very hard this week. In maths, we learned about greater than, less than and equal to and used lolly sticks to make these symbols.
We also practised talking about 2D and 3D shapes. We talked about the sides, corners and faces and even felt the shapes in a feely bag and described them to our friends to see if they could guess the shape we were feeling!
As part of our technology work, we planned and designed a raft with our partner to help save Captain Blackbeard and help him get back to his ship. We used the results of our science investigation into which materials could float or sink to help us choose suitable materials to make the raft with. It was really fun!
Thanks again to Olivia’s gran who gave up her own time again this week to come in to read us some stories. The boys and girls always enjoy this and appreciate you coming in to work with us.
