Primary 1

P1a Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 24th May

This week in Literacy P1a have learned the ‘ur’ sound and the tricky word some. We made words such as burn, hurt, purse, nurse etc. We played roll and read, Snakes and Ladders and tell ted. In Maths this week we have been continuing to explore measurement. We looked at measuring weight using a pan balance and measuring capacity of containers using words such as half full, full and empty. For IDL we went on a walk around the school grounds looking for signs of nature and created a tally chart of the things we saw such as flowers, birds etc. We also looked at living, non-living and never lived objects. In P.E we continued to practise our skills in Tennis. We used a ball to practise catching and then a racquet to push the ball to a partner. On Thursday we had music again with Mrs Curle. We played rhyming games whilst singing. Some of us got the opportunity to play claves or a drum during one of the games. We had our star of the week circle time and our new star of the week is Ayden. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Isaac: “I enjoyed learning the tricky word some.”

Ayden: “I enjoyed assembly remembering the school values.”

Ziva: “I enjoyed exploring measurement.”

Ch: “I enjoyed Mrs Mill’s assembly about respect.”

Lois: “I enjoyed learning about nature and going outside.”

Euan: “I enjoyed assembly. I liked the songs especially the last one Creativity.”

General Information

This week in P6…

This week in P6 we went to a jobs fair to see what job we want to do when we are older. They had virtual reality that took you around Scotland. They also had a simulator which you are a construction worker working a digger. They also had CPR dummy’s and breathing apparatus’s. We could make lemonade and draw candy shops. We also had a visitor today. She told us all about her job as a dresser and her childhood. She told us what plays she wanted to do and showed us some videos about it. She also showed us her art and told us about the actors she met. We had a very fun week.

P1b Learning Reflection for W/E 24.5.19

In numeracy this week P1 have been exploring lighter and heavier, using the pan balance scales. They weighed different things around the class and are able to talk about how the balance scales work. Our phonics sound this week was ur as in nurse. In health and wellbeing the children are continuing to develop their tennis and athletics skills. 

Austin – I liked using the balance scales, my shoe weighs 48 cubes. The arrow was in the middle and the pans were level that’s how I know.

Roshan – I liked learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.  1st it’s an egg, 2nd it’s a caterpillar. Then it’s a pupa it builds a cocoon, 4th is was a butterfly .

Christian – I liked the assembly it was about high fives!

Hiba – I liked making the life cycles first there was an egg then a caterpillar, third it is a pupa then it is a butterfly.

Subhan – I liked playing tennis we were doing side stepping.

Alister – I liked the tennis because we had the racquets and we put the ball in the middle and you had to push it to your partner.

Solomia – I liked making the butterflies.

Lewis – I liked doing the gym outside, we were skipping it was hard to skip forward, I can do it backwards!

Kaelan – I liked the life cycle of the butterfly. Well it goes into an egg first and then it hatches into a caterpillar, it eats the egg first then it eats a leaf. Then it builds a chrysalis and then a butterfly comes out. It is a metamorphosis.

Nicholas – I learned the life cycle of a butterfly.  First it’s an egg, then it’s a caterpillar, then it is the pupa. Then it’s a butterfly.

Teria –I like making ten in number talks. With 8+6+2,  you can solve it by adding 2 and 8 to make 10 then add the 6 to make 16.

Sushanth – I got a certificate for writing a good sentence in my maths journal.

Charley – I liked making 10. 2+5+8 you can make a friend of 10 by doing 2+8 = 10 plus 5 more =15

Poppy – I like doing PE on the field. I liked the race when we were warming up cause each time I won. I like doing sports outside.
