We have been learning about money and have had a great time playing in our class shop. We are beginning to recognise different coins and starting to add coins together. We also love to play the ‘topmarks toy shop’ game in the iPads.
We have been extending our vocabulary during our learning about the weather. We learned the words ‘condensation’, ‘evaporation’ and ‘precipitation’. We played one of our favourite games in class (corners) to help us remember the different words.
P2/1 have had a super Book Week. We’ve really enjoyed receiving our Bookbug bags (in P1) and our Read Write and Count bags (in P2). We were excited to have our parents and carers join us the school library! We loved hearing Mrs Robertson read us a story (and we also loved the juice and biscuits).
‘Scaredy Bat’ by Jonathan Meres inspired us to make our own bats. We like how they hang upside down on our washing line.
‘The Perfect Fit’ by Naomi Jones has lots of different 2d shapes. We made 2d shape pictures with our partners.
We had lots of fun meeting our ‘secret readers’! Thank you so much to the parents who came into our class and read to us. We loved listening to some of our favourite stories and some new ones too.
We have been learning about our bodies. We have been taking part in experiments to learn how we use our senses.
We did a ‘smell test’ to see if we could tell what was in the cup.
‘My favourite was the hot chocolate because it reminds me of the hot chocolate I get at home. My Mum makes it with marshmallows’. Belle
P1 created these super glasses when learning about the sense of sight, and P2 labelled the parts of an eye.
We had fun learning about the brain, lungs and heart. We placed the organs in the correct places on our body outline.
We’re really looking forward to presenting our learning at our assembly this week.
This week has been maths week.
P2/1 were lucky to have three visitors!
Abby’s Mum is the owner of Abby J cakes and she told us how she uses maths in her job.
We had great fun learning about using money to buy the ingredients to make a cake, counting the ingredients into the bowl, turning the oven on, and lastly, making sure we shared the cake equally with all our friends! We came up with some fantastic flavours too!
Nola’s Mum worked as an environmental scientist. She told us all about ‘data’ and the numbers she looked at to make sure the water was clean. We loved her diagram to show how it worked and used our mental maths to see if our water would pass the test! If our number was too big, then the water wasn’t clean enough. We had good fun playing the game.
Norma visited us from the library. She told us how she used numbers in her work-spending money for the library and telling the time. We loved the story she read to us too.
We have had lots of fun learning maths outside. We learned about counting items and showing the numbers in different ways. Our favourite was the maths trail. We worked with partners to find the clues.
In P2/1 we’ve been learning about the artist Etel Annan. Etel grew up learning lots of languages. She created ‘leporellos’ which are small folded books showing pictures, poems or words that she loved. We created our own ‘leporellos’ in art. We used paint,pencil and pen.
P1 have been continuing to learn our sounds – i and t. We have been practising to form our letters and numbers (up to 5).
P2 have been continuing to learn about addition and have enjoyed reading our new reading books in groups.
P1 were excited to meet their buddies on Friday and had a great time together in the library.
We all discussed reusing, recycling and reducing rubbish as part of keeping our environment clean and tidy for wildlife and designed posters to show our learning.
We have been thinking about ways to be healthy and drew our favourite healthy meal. Some of our meals looked very tasty!
This week P2/1 have been learning about the school rules. We wrote the words and drew pictures to show how we are Ready, Safe and show Respect. Some of us presented our learning at the school assembly. 😁
‘We are ready when we sit still’ Belle.
‘We are safe when we walk in the corridor’ Jay.
‘We show respect when we look after the toys in the classroom’ Eli.
We listened to the story of The Rainbow Fish. It’s all about friendship and sharing. We linked our story to our class charter and made our display with our own fantastic Rainbow Fish.
We’ve had a great week in P2/1. The boys and girls have had lots of fun in their new classroom and are settling well into the school routines after summer.
We had a chat about our favourite parts of the week.
‘I liked playing with the puppets.’ Emily G
‘My favourite part was the reading corner. I liked reading The Bug Collector.’ Abby
‘I liked the car park.’ Harris
‘I like the construction area.’ Harrison
We had a great time with Mr Millar during our PE lesson too. Our PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays.
This week in P1 we have been very busy learning more about our senses. Some of us have been discussing our favourite meals and what foods are sweet, sour, salty and bitter. And some of us have been talking about our eyesight and making some super glasses!
In maths, we’ve been continuing to skip count in twos.
During RME, we listened to the story of ‘The Prodigal Son’ and then looked at pictures to try to retell the story.
The teachers have been assessing our tricky words in class.
A little reminder to parents- please return book bags every FRIDAY so that books can quarantine and be passed to another group the following Tuesday. Many thanks.
Hello everyone. P1 have been very busy this week. We’re very excited to see if our sunflower seeds will grow. We’ve been learning about how to plant a seed, what a seed needs to grow and talking about living and non-living things.
In maths, we have been learning to count forwards and backwards to 20, forming all our numbers correctly and sequencing.
We were excited to bring our first reading books home. (Please ensure all books are returned to school on a Friday morning).
We’re continuing to learn to write with capital letters, full stops and finger spaces for all our sentences.
We’ve enjoyed being out in the sunshine this week and hope you have a lovely weekend.
Pots of sunflower seeds in P1!
