Learning in P2/1

P2/1 had a really great time in their Judo taster session last week. Everyone was tired out at the end of it! The pupils enjoyed working together.


We were very excited to share our learning about Scotland with our parents and carers this week. We showed our jotter work, built Scottish castles, designed a Nessie and created tartans. We thought the tasting table with the shortbread and oatcakes was the most popular activity!

Yesterday was World Book Day. We could come to school dressed as a character from a book. We liked sharing our favourite stories with our classmates. We made our own mini books and could say that a front cover needs a title, the name of the author and the name of the illustrator. Some of us copied our favourite book.

Learning In and Around The Hive

We were looking at different ways to learn some new numeracy and maths skills.  We took our learning outdoors and Henry was looking for different shapes in the woods.  Kayden and Aria were doing a times tables challenge.  They were asking each other a times tables question then looking for the answer in the sand.  Eoin was looking at different shapes, sizes, lengths and widths to make some fabulous creations in the Block play.

Glen and Alex were working on their fine and gross motor skills and enjoyed using the new outdoor toys!

Learning in P2/1

Last week was story-telling week and we had great fun listening to stories in our class library. We scanned QR codes to watch our choice of story on the iPads.

We’ve been learning about Scotland and used our problem solving and teamwork skills to design a Scottish castle. We had a choice of junk modelling with boxes, iPads or Lego. We presented our designs to the class. One our castles even had a hot tub!

We are looking forward to sharing our learning with parents/carers on 2nd March.

This week has been Scots Week at East Calder. P2/1 have enjoyed listening to stories about Katie Morag. We were really surprised and excited to receive a letter from her! She was asking us to design a new tartan skirt. Her one had been ruined when she was trying to deliver the mail. We used our fine motor skills to use a ruler and created these fantastic tartans.
In music we’ve been learning to keep a steady beat by clapping and dancing along to Scottish music. This is our favourite song:

We did a brilliant job of reciting our poems in Scots and are really looking forward to hearing all the winners at our Scots school assembly next Friday.

Primary 1

Primary 1 have had fun during Scots Week.  We have read lots of stories in Scots, enjoyed different activities and loved hearing everyone say their chosen poem.

At the assembly tomorrow P1b are excited to present what they’ve been learning about.  They had great fun doing Heid, Shooders, Knaps and Taes’ and singing ‘Three Craws’.

Primary 1 have also decided what the class role play area should be and are busy making an opticians in P1a and a shop  in P1b.

Please remember to return reading books on a Thursday so they can be read by others the following week.

Primary 1

It has been a very exciting week in school!

We loved the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk and took part in lots of activities in class.  We even built our own beanstalk!

We have been busy practising our Nativity and trying on our costumes too!

Our new sound this week was ‘w’ and we have been learning to copy patterns, play pattern games and have started  making our  own patterns.

On Monday please return all reading books and book bags.  Also please send in clothes as requested for the nativity.

Many thanks

Christmas has arrived in The Hive!

The children (and staff!!) have been getting ready for Christmas.  Mr Fazakerley made an amazing Christmas tree for the Hive which the children helped to decorate.

We have also designed our own Christmas jumpers whilst wearing our Christmas jumpers! We wrote letters to Santa and made Christmas pictures using different 2d shape. Super learning and fun!

 

Learning in P2/1

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.
