Weekly Update From Primary One

Welcome to this weeks blog. Some highlights the children wanted to share with you.

Maths – Measure

We have continued to measure objects and this time the children are using measuring tapes.

       

       

We have also been exploring the language of measure – longer/shorter, bigger/smaller and heavier/lighter. Some pictures of the children discussing objects that are heavier/lighter.

       

Writing – Descriptive

This week we began a new writing genre. For the next few weeks we will be focusing on descriptive writing.  This week the children had to describe their friend, what they look like, what age they are and what they like doing together. Some examples below-

     

           

Outdoor Learning

On Wednesday, the children enjoyed planting trees in the school grounds. They were supported by the P7 buddies. The children really enjoyed spending time with them. Some pictures below.

         

         

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

 

What Have P6 Been Up To This Week?

Literacy

Writing

We have started to learn about a new genre – descriptive writing.

Having studied the structure of a descriptive text about a Rescue Helicopter Pilot we watched a video about the Scottish Mounted Police. Then together we wrote a descriptive piece about their role.

Bailey – They are different to normal police because they ride horses and wear different uniforms.

Cameron – The genre’s structure was title, introduction, characteristics and evaluation.

Reading

We read our group novels and practised inventing our own inferential questions based on what we had read.

Talking and Listening

This week we invented a story which we told to our partner. We looked at a picture stimulus which was an elephant. Here is the link:

We came up with some great narrative ideas based on it!

Outdoor Learning

Hope – We planted thorn bushes with spikes. Please don’t touch them.

Emily – We planted them because the ones we planted before had been removed. It is also helping us work towards the net zero project.

Numeracy

We have really improved our ability to subtract mentally using a variety of mental methods.

ICT 

This week we continued our coding work with Mrs Buntin. It was quite tricky but we were very proud of our achievements.

P.E.

Once again we have continued to improve our netball skills this week. Maybe in the future one of us might play for Scotland!

Outdoor Learning

Once again Deans Primary have received a donation of saplings from the Woodland Trust. The children are not only hoping this will enhance the look of the school grounds but begin to support a Net Zero Community and improve the environment.

The children would like to ask all children, staff, parents, carers and members of the community to help us look after the saplings so they get the opportunity to grow into large, strong trees. Since they are newly planted and have not yet taken root we would appreciate it if you could stay away from the trees. If you see or hear of any issues with the trees can you please get in touch with Mrs Dobbie.
