Primary 1 STEM

Primary 1 have begun learning all about living things and life cycles as part of their STEM topic.

We have been learning about the different parts of a flower and the things that help plants to grow. We successfully grew cress in the classroom, ensuring that it had plenty of sunlight from the window and was watered every day.

We have also been learning all about the life cycle of a chicken. As part of our learning, we sequenced the stages in the life cycle, wrote facts about how the chicks hatch, created our own chick pictures, and designed a brooder box for growing chicks to live in. We are looking forward to learning about other life cycles when we return to school.

Primary 1 Learning

Primary 1 have learning about toys. We have been talking about toys we enjoy playing with today and what some toys were like in the past. Everyone has been enjoying playing with some examples of older toys such as wooden cards and yo-yos at play and learn time. Mrs Hardie also brought some toys that she used to play with as a little girl for us to see.

On Friday we received a letter from Santa asking us to use our imagination to design a new toy that children around the world would enjoy playing with. We began drawing our designs and adding labels to explain how they work. We are going to finish them this week and present them to our classmates before sending them off to Santa!

The class have also been busy working on Christmas arts and crafts. We made our own Christmas tree pictures using a fingerprint technique and a snowy day picture using white paint and glitter. Despite not being able to have our Christmas Fair this year, we have also created a special Christmas craft to bring home on Thursday.

Primary 1 Local Area Interdisciplinary Learning

As part of our topic, Primary 1 have been learning all about the local area. We looked at lots of photos talked about the different features of our community including the park, the train station and the shop.

This week the children have been looking at different types of housing and talking about where they live. Rosie explained that her house has stairs and Freddie shared photos of his garden and the places that were near his house. We have started to create models of homes to show what we have learnt. We hope to finish these next week and create a village display.

We have also been learning about the effects of littering and talked about what we could do the keep our local community clean and tidy. We went on a litter pick in the playground and created posters to tell others to always put their litter in the bin.
