Weekly Update From Primary One

I hope you all had a lovely holiday and managed to enjoy some family time together. This week our blog is a little shorter as the children were off on Monday. Some highlights they wanted to share with you.

Autumn

This week we started our new Autumn topic. We created a tuff tray with lots of interesting objects to explore and books to read. The children went with Mrs Dobbie on an Autumn walk. They collected lots of leaves and we have began to create our Autumn display.

As you can see from the picture above we have also been making pumpkins. The children have been developing their skills in collage and marbelling.

       

Hopefully by next week  our display will be finished and you can see more examples of their terrific work!

Literacy – Writing

This week the children wrote about what they had been up to during the holidays. It was great to see the children trying to extend their writing by explaining how they felt. Some super examples below-

     

Listening and Talking

Our brand new listening station arrived this week and the children enjoyed listening to pre-recorded stories for the first time today.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and I will be back next week with more highlights.

Primary 4/3 Learning Highlights.

After having a well deserved rest we have returned to school this week raring to go!

Firstly, Mrs Dobbie and the rest of the staff at Deans would like to congratulate Brendan who won the sunflower competition back in September. Well done Brendan for growing such a super sunflower!!

This week we have been learning about the new reading skill of Summarising and we are looking forward to putting this into practise next week. This week we focused on using the skill of clarifying  to complete a Frayer Model to help us learn about the word and clarify the meaning of  Hibernation. Have a look at what we have been working on.

We were also lucky to have a session of Futsal this week. We practised our dribbling and defending skills through playing a game of ‘splat tig’.

We tried our hands at the skill of Zentangle. This means ‘calm doodling’ using a simple black and white repeated pattern. We used a pumpkin template to practise this technique.

We hope you have enjoyed reading about some of our learning this week.
