We have been reading and listening to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
As part of our science learning we also read a book about how beanstalks grow.
We each planted our own beanstalks seeds as you can see in the photographs.
And we have been amazed at how quickly they have grown!
As part of our social studies learning about people in the past, yesterday we visited Blackness Castle. We have been learning about how people in the past lived differently so we enjoyed a tour of the castle and also handling some ancient artefacts.
The weather was lovely so we also enjoyed eating our lunch outside!
As a surprise end to our day there was great excitement when Richard from Historic Scotland, knighted us – Lords and Ladies of Blackness!
A big thank you to our parent helpers ( Sophia’s dad and Lewis’s mum!) and Mrs Smith for coming along to help us – we hope you enjoyed your day too!
Last Thursday P6A visited the new museum to perform their song ‘Medieval Times’. We worked with community songwriter Caro Bridges to write the song. We hope you enjoy listening – it has a catchy chorus!
We also had the opportunity to look round the museum and learn lots of new facts about Linlithgow in olden days.
Miss McDermott and Mrs Smith were delighted to see us all back safely for our last term together as P1c. We also welcomed 2 new children to our class and we hope that they enjoy learning and taking part in all the super activities at Linlithgow Primary School with us.
This term one of our topics is Fairy Tales and Traditional Stories and we have started this by reading a rhyming and lift the flap story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Unfortunately as you know, Goldilocks is rather naughty in the story so we made and displayed some WANTED posters.
Our first team challenge this term was based on the book “A Chair for Baby Bear”.
We worked in teams of 3 to design and build new chairs for our own baby bear using different construction materials. We had to make sure that he would fit comfortably on the chair and that the chair would not fall over. As you will see from the photographs most of the groups came up with fantastic designs to complete the challenge.
Our second team challenge was to retell the Goldilocks story using puppets and trying to use “character voices”. First of all we made the stick puppets and then decided who would be each character. This was quite tricky as there were 4 characters and only 3 of us in each group. Miss McDermott was very pleased as she did not need to help any of the groups to sort this out! We then had some practice time before we performed our puppet shows to each other. There was much laughter at our different “bear” voices!
We have also enjoyed reading the story “Who’s Been Eating My Porridge?” by Nick Ward which includes a very strange porridge monster and a porridge party.
So we decided to end the week by having our very own porridge tasting party, helped of course by Mrs Smith! We all tried some plain porridge and some sweet porridge to see which one we liked best. Some of us however, didn’t like any of them (as you might be able to tell from our faces!!) but we did try them which was the important thing.
