We have had such a busy week in Primary 1. We have had another visit from the dragon and celebrated World Book Day.
Our star award winner from last week was Layla. Well done and keep up the good work Layla!
We have read Jack and the Beanstalk and have been taking part in lots of activities centered around the story. This weeks smart start included bean counting, escape the giant (subtraction activity) and matching dots patterns on beans to numbered flower pots. Some pictures below.
We have also been planting bean seeds (hopefully we will all have small beanstalks to take home) and will be recording their growth and learning about the life cycle of beans and other plants.
We have been using our imaginative writing skills. Our first writing task was to think about what we would do if we found a magic bean. Some pictures of our thoughts and ideas.
In our second piece of writing we had to think about why we would climb a beanstalk and what we might find at the top.
We also had a another visit from the dragon. So so exciting! He is really pleased with our progress so far and left a present. Castle booklets for everyone to write plans, thoughts and ideas in. Our first entry was about how we felt when we knew the dragon had visited our classroom.
In maths we have been looking at different ways to display information and we thought it would be a good idea to make a graph about out favourite flavour of jelly beans. Blueberry was the clear winner.
Lastly a big thank you to the children who took part in our World Book Day competition- Emily, Louie, Sophie and Connor. A fantastic effort! We all enjoyed sharing our favourite stories with our favourite toys and each other.
More updates from Primary I and the dragon next week. Have a lovely weekend.
