P6 Classroom Learning Update

Today in class we have been learning about Hinduism. We explored the festival of Diwali to find out more about how Hindu’s celebrate, why they celebrate and create our very own Diva Lamps.

We will wait for them to dry overnight and then we will decorate them tomorrow.

Nalan was our expert today, showing us examples of real Diva Lamps alongside giving us tips on how to create our own.

Primary 1

Primary 1 were visited last week by the friendly dragon from Fairyland. He asked for our help.  We completed our first challenge which was to make new homes for the 3 little pigs. We listened to the fairy tale, made our own pig puppets, and then created new homes for the pigs using different materials.

We have learning about the different seasons and talking about signs of Autumn, we created our own Autumn trees by tinfoil printing with paint.

In RME, we have been learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We watched a little girl called Jessica prepare for the festival and enjoy the celebrations. We talked about times in the year that we have celebrations with our own family.

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 participated in money-based challenges linked to ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’.

We:

  • Practised making given amounts using concrete materials (Circles were building amounts to £1 using 10p and 1p coins; Squares were building amounts to 10 using Numicon pieces).
  • Participated in shop role-play to practise buying the items George wanted.
  • Designed/priced our own clothing items to sell in the ‘shop’.
  • Did coin rubbing activities with crayons and paper.

We are still awaiting more clues to find out who our mystery mail-person is!

Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been learning!

Primary 2/1

This week, Primary 2/1 received some unexpected mail!

We had been sent a story (‘The Smartest Giant in Town’) and some challenges to go alongside it. The letters were signed with ‘G’ and a footprint. We are starting to make predictions about who the mysterious ‘G’ might be but are hoping we receive some more clues to help us!

We listened to ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’ and participated in play-based challenges linked to the story.

We:

  • Wrote ‘thank you’ letters to George the giant in the role of one of the animals.
  • Designed a new outfit for George to wear.
  • Used construction to build models of the town from the story.
  • Used figures/puppets to retell the story.
