Next week is Languages Week Scotland and as part of our learning we have set some home learning challenges. The challenges are attached and children can complete as many challenges as they like, 5 house points will be awarded for each challenge completed so make sure to share your child’s learning on Seesaw or Teams or send it in to share in the classroom. Have a great week.
Good Afternoon. P1 have had a very busy week. In Literacy we have been learning the igh and ow as in snow sounds. We have written words with these sounds, played roll and read, sorted real words into a treasure chest and nonsense words into the bin and coloured real and nonsense words with the ow sound. In writing we wrote a simile about Nessie the Loch Ness Monster. We also recited our Scottish Poems this week and Miss Maclachlan is very proud of us all.
In Maths we have been focusing on the days of the week. We have been ordering them, saying them and singing them. We have also created our own days of the week wheel where we drew pictures of something we do on each day of the week. Some of us also enjoyed playing monster days of the week snap.
During our Scottish focus we have learned about Nessie the Loch Ness Monster and Greyfriars Bobby. We have created models of Nessie using Lego or playdough and painted pictures of Nessie. When we were learning about Greyfriars Bobby we discussed how he was loyal to his master and where you could find his statue. Some children then created a collage Greyfriars Bobby or coloured in a template of Greyfriars Bobby.
Here are some of the children’s reflections on their week:

Good afternoon. P1 have been very busy this week. In Literacy we have learned the sounds ‘l’ and ‘h’ and the red word so. We made lambs, played roll and read, practised our letter formation with playdough and sorted objects beginning with these sounds.
In Maths this week we have been learning about 2D shapes and 3D objects. We have explored the properties of these shapes and why they are 2D or 3D. We sorted 3D objects into different categories such as will stack or will roll, played I spy the 3D object, created 2D shape pictures and played Shape Monsters on the computers.
P1 thoroughly enjoyed our Halloween fun day on Friday. We made 2D witches, did a skeleton dance, tried to pin a spider on a web and lots more. Here are a few of the children’s highlights:
“I enjoyed painting a house.”
“It was fun dressing up as Cinderella.”

This week in P1 the children have learned the ‘ur’ and ‘er’ sounds. The children have been busying using the pan scales to weigh different items around the class. First, they had to predict how heavy each item was then check using cubes. P1 enjoyed hunting for footprints in the garden. they were very surprised to find an elephant footprint! Please see below for the children’s reflection comments and their magnificent minibeast houses!
Olivia – I liked making the bug house with Lily. We surrounded it with pinecones. We decided to connect two. We made a little bit they could crawl through. We have 3 bugs living in the house, a worm a slug and a snail.
Kaylan – I didn’t even need to count the ten frame. I just saw the patterns for 10.
Minny – I liked building the beastie house. We got pinecones and made a square then we put grass and cosy stuff in the square. Then we put a wall around it and made a door.
Oliver – I enjoyed making the bughouse. Mine has a chimney and some flower pots. It has a sofa. I think a beetle will move it.
Lily – I liked counting on the ten frames. We had to count the coloured squares and write the number. Then count the blank square and write the number.
Kade – I made a square of pinecones then I got a tub and put some grass in it.

Georgia – We were weighing water bottles and teddies and rulers. We used cubes to see how heavy they were.
Josh – The caterpillars are very fat and they are hanging upside down. They are going to make a chrysalis.
Grace – The caterpillars are starting to build their chrysalis. Then they will turn into a butterfly.
Mohnish – I enjoyed weighing. The water bottle was heavy. The cube was light.
