Primary 1B Learning Highlights

This week in Primary 1B we have been focusing on the fact that it is now officially Autumn, our favourite season. We have discussed all the different and exciting events which happen during Autumn such as, Halloween and Bonfire Night. These are the things we are most excited about……

Finlay – seeing all the branches on the trees.

Arianna – maybe seeing some snow!

Saatvik – Seeing the colourful leaves.

Leighton – seeing the branches on the trees as the leaves fall.

Alfie – carving a pumpkin at Halloween.

As part of our learning we read the story of Leaf Man.

This is a beautifully illustrated story book about the adventures of a ‘Leaf Man’ and where the wind takes him. We had great fun identifying all the different animals in the story and were amazed at how they were all made out of different types of leaves. Once we had finished the story we had a go at creating our own Leaf Man, using some of the leaves we had collected on our Autumn walk.  Here are some of our creations.

We had lots of left over leaves so we practised our fine motor scissor skills by cutting the leaves up and gluing them onto a leaf template to create a colourful Autumn leaf collage.

As one of our writing tasks we have been drawing, describing and labelling Autumn trees. We discussed all the possible details which we could include, such as, Autumn animals which live in trees! We were able to share some amazing ideas. We also all had a go at writing the title on our work and some of us even tried to add some of our own labels onto our pictures. Check out some of our fabulous efforts.

We have also been busy this week working on learning all about our new sound ‘p’. This is soft, short and bouncy sound made with our lips, it is much quieter than the red lip sound ‘m’ that is why it is pink. We have been fantastic at recognising words which begin with the p sound and practising how to form this letter correctly. We made some Popcorn p’s to help us remember the shape of the letter.

It’s been a busy but fun week yet again. We have worked our socks off this week and we are looking forward to next week already! Have an amazing weekend everybody.

This week Primary 3 have a new topic

We had an exciting reveal about our new topic.  A suitcase and a bear with a map arrived in our class. The bear is called Barnaby and we are going to learn about our own country and perhaps some different countries with him.  This week, we have been learning about Scotland, and we can now locate it on a world map.

We have started to learn more about money.  Today was a non-uniform day and we were collecting coins for charity.  (Roman)  First, we sorted all our coins and grouped the same kinds together.  We had £1’s, 50p’s, 20p’s and 10p’s.  Then we added each type of coin up.  Last we added all the totals up and we had £11.10 altogether. (Erin)

On Wednesday, we went for a walk outside to the field and we collected some leaves (Gracie).  The leaves are falling from the trees now that it is Autumn.  When we came inside we wrote acrostic poems about leaves. (Joseph)

 

 

Signs of Autumn in P2/1

Down in Primary 2/1 we have been embracing all things autumnal. We all decided that  it was our favourite season where we can wrap up warm, drink hot chocolate, go trick or treating on Halloween and most of all look at all the wonderful colours that autumn produces.

We have spent some time outside going on a autumn walk to collect lots of natural materials so we can produce some ‘transient art’. This means art that can move around. We had lots of fun using our imagination to make pictures and then using our ICT skills to take the perfect picture with the ipad.  Here are some examples of our work.

       

      

We had lots of leaves left over so we decided to make some leaf people, we added eyes, arms and legs. They look super cute!

We spent some time investigating the leaves and looking at the patterns of their tiny veins. We painted them and printed them onto paper using autumnal colours and we also used crayons to create a leaf rubbing pictures.

At the moment our favourite story is The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. We are enjoying using our new puppet theater to retell the story using all the different voices of the characters in our own words. We love how the book rhymes too. We made a Gruffalo tuff tray too so we can act out the story with all the characters and make up our own stories too, we even added some new characters. We especially love the snake and his log pile house.

 

Autumn Leaves

Primary 3 went for a lovely Autumn walk this week and we collected some leaves.  We have been learning to write acrostic poems and we used the words leaf and leaves for our poems.  We made leaf rubbings with crayons, and we have created a lovely display in our classroom.
