P1P’s Brilliant Book Bug Bags

Leave a comment

P1P have had a very exciting week for Scottish Book Week!

At the start of the week we spent time reading and exploring the 3 picture books that were shortlisted for The Bookbug Picture Book Prize, we also watched some fantastic videos of the authors reading their stories. After we watched the author videos we voted for our favourite book using gems, ‘Gorilla Loves Vanilla’ was the winner of the vote!

On Thursday we were very excited because our P7 Buddies came down to our class to deliver very special P1 Bookbug Bag. These bags were filled with fantastic activities and stories for us to use at home. Later in the afternoon our parents came in and we shared different activities we can use with our Bookbug bags!

We had a fantastic time and thank you to everyone who was able to come in and visit!

Open Afternoon – P1P

Leave a comment

This Wednesday we opened our classrooms up to our families for our Open Afternoon and shared all our learning from our ‘Travelling Ted comes to Mid Calder’ IDL Context. Over the past 6 weeks we have been developing our awareness and understanding of our local environment. We have developed our knowledge of key features and landmarks in Mid Calder and how these play a part in our everyday journeys. We have also explored the story ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ through various activities and using our outdoor environment.

We loved showing our families around and showcasing our work. Thank you to everyone who was able to come and see what we have been learning.

Marvellous Maths in P1P

1 Comment

LI: We are learning to sort, collect and display information.
We are learning about tally charts and pictographs.

SC: I can talk about my favourite toy and ask others about their favourite toy.
I can say what type of toy I have and record it in the form of a tally mark.
I can contrast and compare our favourite toy results with the P7’s favourite toys.
I can answer questions about the information that I have collected and displayed.

This week P1P have been learning how to gather and display information. During our Maths inputs we have developed an understanding of tally marks and have began to explore and use pictographs through a variety of practical, written and digital activities. We have also been able to use our new knowledge during our Toy Story IDL lessons to create a tally chart to show P1’s and P7’s favourite type of toy. It was really interesting to compare both the results and find out that both P1 and P7 had the same favourite… ‘cuddly toys’.
