Weekly Update From P1A

I hope you have all had a good week. We have had another very busy week of learning in Primary 1. The children have enjoyed yoga with Mrs Anderson and a trip to our school library.

Writing – The Three Billy Goats Gruff

The children have completed a number of writing activities around the fairytale The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Firstly, they used a guided draw to help create their very own trolls. They then thought of some good descriptive words they could use to descibe how he looks and his personality.  Some scary examples below-

After reading the story, we began to think about where the troll might have gone after he was pushed into the river by the big billy goat. The children drew Wanted posters and extended the story by using their own ideas. Some super examples below-

 

Some children went on to seqeunce the story-

Health and Wellbeing – Changing Me

We are continuing to explore the changes that occur as we grow and develop. This week we focused on differences that occur in our bodies from birth until the aged of 5. Some examples below-

Numeracy – Addition and Subtraction

This week we have carried out a number of tasks around number bonds to 10. The focus being, to help make the connection between addition and subtraction. Making connections can be a tricky concept but, I am pleased to say that almost everyone can now see the link and hopefully will use this strategy when adding bigger numbers. The children chose the pictures below to be included in this weeks blog.

 

 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I will be back next week with our second last Primary 1A post!

P.E.

We enjoyed the sunny weather this week and played rounders on the field.

Jaxson – I am getting better at hitting the ball.

Hope – I am getting better at catching.

Miss Stanway – I nearly caught Jaxson out but the ball bounced out of my hands!

Literacy

We practised using effective verbs in order to improve our writing. We used a thesaurus to improve our vocabulary.

Numeracy

We learnt how to write fractions and decimals as percentages.

We have also continued to practise our x12 tables.

Bailey – I enjoyed the Sumdog maths competition and learning about when we use percentages in real life.

Coding

During coding practice we used our programming skills to solve various challenges.

Health

This week we learnt about puberty and the changes that happen to our bodies. We have a worry box in class so if we have a question we can post it in the box so that the class can discuss it.

Science

Our new topic is inheritance and reproduction.

Bailey – I enjoyed learning about how wolves have evolved into dogs.

 

Primary 1B Learning Highlights

It has been a very quick week in Primary 1B. We have had lots of exciting learning experiences this week. Here is a little quick snapshot of our week.

Health and Wellbeing

This week we have been talking about growing up and how we have changed since we were babies. We know that our bodies, minds and appearance have changed lots since we were very little. Here are some of the changes we were discussing.

Leighton – I don’t wear a nappy anymore and all my clothes are different now.

Sophie – I don’t drink milk from a bottle anymore or have a dummy.

Reuben – I eat lots of different types of food now, not just mushy food like porridge.

Cooper – I can do different things with my body, like run and jump or even press ups! My hair has changed colour.

Kellan – I can talk and walk.

Mikah – I know lots more things now than when I was a baby.

Bryan – My body is bigger, my arms and legs are longer.

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog.

A little reminder, if you have any old reading books at home could they please be returned to school as soon as possible. Thanks!

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Mrs Stevenson and Primary 1B.

We continue to work on our listening and talking skills, in particular presenting information in front of others. Here are some more pictures:
