P1 Home Learning Week 10

P1 have had a busy week. Let’s take a look at what we’ve been up to…

• In numeracy we have been revising money. We have been discussing why we need money and where it comes from. We had a go at ordering coins, sorting coins and even set up our own wee shops where we had a go at being the shopkeeper and the customer.
• For literacy this week we had to plan a movie night for our family. Firstly, we wrote a letter to our family explaining why we wanted to have a movie night. We then created tickets for our movie night and lovely posters.
• We are still enjoying our topic. We have been looking at dinosaur diets and researching omnivores, herbivores and carnivores.
• For art, we followed a tutorial on how to draw an allosaurus.
• We continued with our growth mindset series. This week we thought about what to do if we are stuck and why using the word “yet” is important.
• For R.E we spent some time reflecting on our year in P1, thinking about what has went well and what we want to get better at in P2. We then finished with a prayer to God to ask him to help us with our journey into P2.

Thank you for all your hard work this week P1. We are very proud of you all.

We have attached the learning grid for week 9.

We hope you all had a lovely weekend in the sun and are all happy and safe.

We look forward to seeing your pictures throughout the week!

P1 Home Learning Week 9

Primary 1, we have been so impressed with you all this week. You have been working really hard and we have loved receiving all your lovely pictures.

This week Primary 1 have been working on the following:

• We practised spelling the common words by completing different spelling activities.
• We have been revising addition and learning about doubles and near doubles by playing games, listening to songs and completing tasks.
• We practised our reading and comprehension skills by reading stories on Oxford Owl.
• We wrote about what we are looking forward to doing when lockdown ends.
• We researched dinosaur habitats and created our own.
• We built a flotation device for one of our toys.
• We have been revising growth mindset. We discussed facing challenges, how certain situations make us feel and what we can do to overcome these challenges.
• We also practised our handwriting.

Take a look at our lovely pictures!

P1 have had a short but busy week. We have really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your work  and we are so proud of you all. Here is what P1 have been up to…

• In numeracy this week, we have been revising weight and volume this week. We used items around our house to help with this and completed a weight and volume challenge on Sumdog.
• In literacy this week, we have been revising the common words and some sounds that we already know. We have revised these through games and written work.
• We listened to the story “The Huge Bag of Worries” and then drew pictures/wrote about our own worries and discussed these with an adult.
• As May is the month of Mary, we discussed who Mary is and why she is important. We then drew a picture of Mary and wrote a short description.
• We took time to reflect on why we are proud of ourselves and recorded at least 2 of these reasons.

Here is a collage of pictures that we have received this week. Well done to these superstars!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Here is what we have been up to this week…

We wrote stories all about our favourite hobbies. We all have personal writing targets at the front of our jotters to help us to know what to focus on in our writing. Well done if you managed to achieve your target!

We have been learning new sounds and practising some we already knew. These will help us to read and write.

We have been consolidating number bonds to 10 by listening to songs, playing games and making fact files.

We followed “Art for Kids Hub” to create some lovely pictures.

We used items and surfaces around our house to create our own rhythms and play along with our favourite songs.

We have been exercising to help keep us fit and healthy.

We have been practising counting to 10 in Spanish.

We have discussed the importance of prayer and learned “Our Father”.

We have practised our handwriting. It is really important that we know how to form the letters correctly as this will help us when we begin cursive writing.

We know that it is very different to how we usually learn P1 but you are all working really hard and we are proud of you. Keep up the good work and most importantly, keep safe and enjoy spending time with your families.

We have really enjoyed seeing these lovely pictures this week. Please send us more next week and we will include them in next week’s post.

P1 have chosen to update everyone on the on the progress of their cress!

We have been taking care of our cress, making sure it has enough water and sunlight and we are very excited to see that it has grown :). This has generated a lot of discussions around the different parts of plants and why some may have grown more than others.

We will be sampling the cress next week.
