A Little Unicorn Magic in P1

In P1 we have been reading ‘Sophie Johnson – Unicorn Expert’ by Morag Hood as part of our IDL topic.   We have been exploring lots skills linked to the book and showing our understanding of the story.

Last night, our janitor noticed something a bit strange on the class camera.  We think some creatures might have had a little visit to our classroom when we were not there!  Can you spot them in our clip?

 

Today in writing, we tried to draw where we think they have come from.  It was very exciting!

Will there be anymore magic in P1?

Home Learning Choice Boards

At a recent parent partner meeting we discussed our current approaches to homework and the impact homework has on achievement and attainment. Following this we have decided to trial issuing a home learning choice board each term. The choice board is attached and a copy is in your child’s homework book. Their reading homework will sit alongside this and will be in your child’s reading record/ homework diary. We home you find this useful and will ask for feedback in term 4.

Calder Movie Afternoon

Calder were the term 1 house points winners. Summer and Kyle surveyed the children in Calder to find out what they would like their treat to be and they selected a movie afternoon. They then did a survey to find out which movie and they picked Nanny McPhee. We also picked juice, popcorn and ice lollies for refreshments and dressed in our pjs. We had a fun, relaxing afternoon with our house buddies! Thank you to Kyle, Summer and the P7 Young Leaders for helping to organise and set up the party.

Congratulations Calder!

P1 Cafe

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!

P1 – Maths Week

P1 have been exploring money this week.   We examined coins closely to find their value and then had a go at sorting different coins.  We noticed they had different shapes, colours and sizes.   We enjoyed making rubbings of different coins using crayon.

* Home Challenge*

Can you recognise any coins or notes at home?

Can you try to pay for something at the shops using coins?

Can anyone make a shield by joining one of each coin together?
