Welcome to our P1A blog. We have had another really busy week in Primary One. The children have used a number of different materials and techniques to create some fantastic Autumn art . Some pictures below.
The children finished our Autumn display by creating acorns. They made them by using sponge paints and collage.
We had great fun making Autumn Sun-Catchers. The children cut and sorted tissue paper and arranged the paper inside a leaf shape. I laminated them. All we need now is some Autumn sun to create the desired affect!
To create the prickles for our hedgehogs the children used plastic forks dipped in paint. We think this technique was really effective.
Literacy –
This week we have focused on the “p” sound as well as common words “the, A and I”. We have played “p” bingo and used our coloured cats to determine where in a word we hear the “p” sound.
Writing – 
This week the children were asked to draw a picture of themselves. They had to add lots of detail e.g. eyebrows, fingers, etc. and the picture had to have all the relevant body parts. The aim was to get them to think about using descriptive language e.g. I have long brown hair/ blue eyes etc. Some examples below.
We have also been busy making our own zig-zag books which sequence the life-cycle of an oak tree.
Numeracy –
In numeracy we are continuing to focus on numbers to 10. This week we have been exploring different ways to make numbers using a variety of concrete materials.
Health and Wellbeing
As part of our Jigsaw recovery programme the children were asked to think about what they are looking forward to learning now they are back at school.
Katie said “I am looking forward to writing more numbers and I feel happy when I do this”
Liam said “I am looking forward to learning how to draw and add more details and I will feel good and happy”
Conlon said “I am looking forward to learning how to write all my letters correctly and that will make me feel good and happy”
I hope you all have a lovely weekend! More updates next week.
