P1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 11th March 2022

Good afternoon. In Literacy we have learned the split diagraph sounds ‘a-e’ and ‘i-e’ We taught ted how to write ‘a-e’ words, looked for ‘a-e’ words in a picture, played roll and read, read then drew i-e words and played ‘i-e’ snakes and ladders. For writing we worked in partners and wrote superhero acrostic poems.

In Maths this week we have been exploring number bonds to 20. We looked at different strategies for helping us to find number bonds to 20 such as making 10 first. We used rekenreks, counters, number spinners and Numicon to help us make then write down our number bonds to 20. We also played a matching rainbow game where we had to find the pot of gold to match the number at the start of the rainbow.

On Tuesday afternoon we went to the discovery den where our P7 STEM leaders led us in some very exciting activities around the topic of nature. We looked for birds, sorted fish into different categories, explored rocks, sifted soil, sand, salt and sugar out of water and used Scratch junior on the I Pads to make an animal move. In the class we made superhero stick puppets, drew a picture of our superhero helping someone stuck in the snow and discussed people who help us. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I liked practising writing my letters.” David

“I loved doing gym on the mats.” Gracie

“I liked finding words in the ladybug wordsearch.” Ishanvi

“I liked doing the exercises in the gym hall.” Finlay

“I liked assembly. We learned how to be kind and about filling up our buckets. We had the story in class.” Emma

“I liked telling my story in the tent for our writing project.” Orlaith

“I liked filming my story.” Emily

“I loved being a story teller and illustrator.” Aaron

Have a lovely weekend

P2-1 Weekly Reflection 11.03.22

This week in P2-1 we have been busy developing our knowledge of place value within 50. We have been considering different ways of representating numbers and have been ordering and comparing numbers to 50. We have had great fun playing the Caterpillar Ordering game. Primary 1 have also been learning about quarters and enjoyed playing Karate Cats.

In Literacy P2 children have been revising the split diagraphs and the important job of Magic e in changing vowels from their sound to their letter name, for example, pin – pine, cub – cube. We enjoyed singing The Magic E Song . Primary 1 have been revising Set 2 sounds and impressed Mrs Clyne this week with their word building skills.

For Health and Wellbeing we tuned in to Authors Live with Tom Percival who was reading his book The River. It is a beautiful, thought-provoking story about managing unpredictable feelings and Tom showed us how to drawing emotions in our own illustrations.

 

Today we had our first whole school assembly since March 2020. We liked being with all the other classes and singing together. Miss Hamilton and some of the P7s were telling us more about Skipper and the tools he uses to help Build Resilience. We can use these tools to help us when things are not going so well.

Rory “I liked Fischy music in the assembly and counting to 100.”

Dexter “I really liked making the train station with the blocks.”

Minny “I liked drawing along with Tom in the Authors Live.”

Dylan “I enjoyed learning numbers to 50.”

Theo “I liked seeing our old head teacher back in the school.”

Cooper “I liked drawing with Tom.”

Hunter “I liked doing Maths and making halves.”

Cara “I liked seeing Mrs Mill back.”
