Leave a comment

Primary 1 have been having a great Book Week so far.

We have been reading lots of books in class, with our teacher, with our friends, with nursery children and with our primary 7 buddies. We also took some of our favourite books outside to read in the sunshine today.

We’ve had lots of fun book related activities, including painting and other art activities related to some of our favourite stories.

We have been decorating our door like a book too – we are trying to win a ‘Dress Your Door’ competition against the rest of the school (of course, ours are by far the best!).

We helped write the first chapter of a ‘School Story’ – the rest of the school will continue and finish the story.

We have also been doing lots of fab writing related to and inspired by some of our favourite books.

We’ve also been bringing in some fab photos of our ‘extreme reading’ for the competition – the winner will be announced on Friday.

There’s still lots more to come, including a school carousel (where we will hear some stories from other teachers in the school, and finally, we are really looking forward to dressing up as our favourite book character on Friday.

Today in Primary 1, we had great fun learning all about Robert Burns. We learned that he was a super clever man, who lived in Scotland. We learned that he wrote lots and lots of poems. We listened to some of his poems. We also learned about the traditional Burns Supper, which includes Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. 

We listened to some Scottish songs (and learned about bagpipes). We then learned to sing some Scottish songs, including Donald Where’s Yer Troosers?’, ‘Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff The Bus’ and ‘Ali Bali Bee’.

We then learned some Scottish words:

Troosers – James H

Wheisht – Roman 

Braw – Andrew

Ston up – Max & Megan

Doon – Lucia & Julia D

Aye – Joshua 

Heid – Justyna 

Lugs – Toby

We then had our own Burns Supper. We had some oatcakes and cheese and some shortbread.

We then went to the hall to practice some Scottish dancing.

Robert Burns wrote hundreds of poems – Olivia

Robert Burns was very very special – Matthew P

It is Robert Burns’ birthday today – Daniella and Sophia

Hope you enjoy the rest of your Burns Day!

Today P1 were very lucky to have a special visitor. We were visited by 2 policemen (PC Robertson and PC Hart)!!

We were very excited (and on our best behaviour).

Who helps us?

Alfie – policeman

Matthew – fireman 

Ava – lollypop man (he has an orange jacket and a hat and a stick)

Haziq – shopkeepers 

Louvisa – they wear a uniform

James – and a badge

Joshua – high service (customer service) 

Piper – teachers

We learned a lot about Stranger Danger – we know that we don’t speak to people we don’t know!

We had some questions we were bursting to ask. Lots of these were about the uniform they were wearing. We wanted to know why it was bright yellow, what the pen was for, and what the handcuffs looked like . The policeman even arrested the teddybear!

We also asked:

Olivia – How do you catch bad guys? (we are really fast, and some people tell us where the bad guys are?)

Joshua – where do you do? (we take the bad guys to the police station)

Arran – is the car bumpy or not bumpy? (it can get bumpy when we drive fast) 

Roman – do you only catch bad guys? (we only catch bad guys, but we speak to good and bad people)

James – do you drive really fast? (only in an emergency)

Tyler – why do you have a police hat? (so everyone knows we are policemen)

Kayleigh – why do you have handcuffs? (in case the bad guys run away)

Lucas – do you have a police ambulance? (no, but we do have a police van)

Leo – why do you have a radio? (so that in an emergency we can speak to each other when we’re far away)

Joshua – why do you have a flashlight? (so we can see in the dark, because we work at nighttime too, to keep you safe). 

We then all had a chance to wear the policemans hat! (including the bear).

We then got a chance to see the police van! We were so excited!

We had such a fun day!

(photos will be posted later!)

P1’s Fantastic Facts

Leave a comment

Today, P1 all got together to learn some fantastic facts. Today we were learning about Spiders!

We began by reading two different stories. One was a fiction book. This means it is not real (Andrew).

The other was a non-fiction book. This means it is real (Joshua).

We learned lots of facts about spiders:

Kayleidh – they have 8 eyes

Isabella P – they have 8 legs

Matthew P – they have spinnerettes

Matthew R – these make webs

More people who help us!

Our primary one children had a fantastic day today visiting our local fire station!

The children listened well as the fireman told them what his job was. They learned all about the uniforms (did you know that most fire fighters wear yellow helmets, but the one who’s in charge wears a white helmet?!) and all about the fire engines (in Scotland they are red with blue lights – the same as the ambulance!!)

We learned that at Broxburn, all the firefighters have pagers, which beep when it’s time to go to work, but other stations have fire fighters who eat and even sleep there!

They then saw what fire fighters have to wear (Mrs Evans and Mrs Baty modeled the uniform – it was very heavy and warm!!)

We also learned what to do if we ever see someone on fire (tell them to Stop, Drop and Roll – you can see us practicing this in our photos).

After that, the children went outside to explore the fire engine. They even got a shot of a water hose out of the fire engine!

All primary 1 children were fantastic on our first trip! Thank you again to our fabulous parent helpers!

Amazing Ambulance in Primary 1!!

Leave a comment

Today, primary 1 were lucky enough to have some very special visitors! As part of our People Who Help Us topic, we invited some paramedics to come to see the children. They told us all about their job, what they do and what equipment they use.

Some of us were allowed to dress up in their real High Vis Jacket, and their paramedics helmet. Then, we pretended Mrs Evans had been trampled by an elephant!! The paramedics put a bandage on her head (like a big plaster) and used a special machine to make sure she was feeling okay (it beeped, and had a blue wavy line on it).

Then, we went to see the ambulance!!! It was amazing! We even got to go inside! Then they put the siren on for us to hear! (See our picture with our hands over our ears … it was so loud!).

We had a really great day!!

Joshua – Paramedics have ambulances

Alfie – they wear an ambulance suit

Ava – they have a torch

Kayleidh – (how could they make sure they are seen?) you wear a jacket

Isla – (Mrs Evans should..) get away from the elephant!

Lucas – (Mrs Evans is hurt, what do we do?) phone the doctor!

James – is the number 909?

Ben – the ambulance is blue

Lucas – …and green and yellow

Matthew – the ambulance has lights

Olivia – the lights are blue, and they flash

Matthew – it has a siren, and they rescue people

Toby – they help people who get hit by a  car

Ben – they are sometimes with the fire brigade

Arran – they take you to the hospital

Dermott – St Johns hospital.

This morning the boys and girls were practising colouring and cutting. They designed their own butterfly using the different colours of the rainbow (just like the butterfly in The Hungry Caterpillar).

 

After break we read The Rainbow Fish story. We spoke about what this story was teaching us and how we can be like the rainbow fish in our classroom. We have all agreed to be kind, helpful and good at sharing just like the Rainbow Fish.

Little Explorers in P1c!

We have spent the morning getting to know each other and exploring our new environment. We found lots of exciting things to play with!

After seeing our buddies at break we read The Hungry Caterpillar. This got us chatting about the different foods that we like to eat. We also discussed things that we like to do in our spare time. After that, we drew self portraits which are displayed on our classroom wall.

We have had a great day!
