We are learning to … read and set o’clock times.
I know … the small hand tells us the hour
I know … the big hand should point to 12 for o’clock
This week P1 have continued to learn how to tell the time on an analogue clock. We know that the big hand tells us the minutes and the little one is the hour hand. We have been playing lots of games to help us read the time. Each child has made their own clock and these were sent home at the end of last week.
This week is West Lothian’s Sumdog Competition and children might want to take part in this as their home learning choice board.
Out of 43 classes:
Out of 1150 pupils:
As part of their ‘Working Village’ topic, P1 ran a café today for P7.
P7 buddies were invited along to be served a snack and drink. P1 had used their writing skills to prepare tickets and menus for the cafe.  The children had to recognise different coins that P7 pupils kindly donated today.
Everyone took their roles very seriously and made us all so proud.
We are going to count the money after the holidays and choose something to buy for the P1 classroom.
Happy Holidays!
