It has been another super week in Primary 1/2! The children were really excited to show off their work to their grown ups as part of Parents Consultations. It was so lovely to talk to the grown ups and share how well the children have settled in to our class routine and discuss their fantastic learning so far.

Tickled Pink

• “Reading the Three Little Pigs was good fun because we got to cut out our own puppets and put them on the lollipop stick”. The children listened really carefully and were able to answer lots of questions and sequence the events of the story. I loved hearing the voices of the little pigs and big bad wolf when they were acting out the story!

• “Making rockets with our buddies was so fun and Fluffy the owl used them to fly to the moon!” All of the children were really engaged with this task – they had to choose their own resources from junk modelling and then with the support of their buddy they constructed their rocket. The children were super excited to show off their work to the classes! We discussed the skills that we were using through this task (Creativity, Collaboration and Communication were the main 3 that we identified).

 

 

Green for Growth

• “Remembering the shapes is a bit tricky”. We have been looking at 3D shapes this week. The children have been learning their names and exploring the 2D faces within. We had fun stamping with the 3D shapes to see what 2D shapes they made. The children also loved looking for cylinders and cubes within our classroom. Sphere is the shape that they were finding tricky to remember, so we will continue to look for them in our environment and naming them regularly.

 

Our Lead Learners for next week are Lucas Mackie and Olivia Johnson.

 

Have a fantastic October break, I can’t wait to hear all of the children’s stories when we return on Tuesday 17th October!
