The sunshine has definitely arrived in Linlithgow this week. We are so happy that we can get outside and do more outdoor learning. We haven’t posted in little while, so we need to fill you in on what P1/2 have been up to.
Each term we have looked at a different season so this term it was time for Spring. We went on a Spring walk and looked for all the different signs of Spring. We talked the changes that occur at this time of year and most of us agreed that it is one of our favourite seasons.
We also went down to the Peel for our Ranger visit. We loved playing the games and using our senses to pretend we were like the animals. We used our listening skills to try and hear our prey coming and developed our team work skills. A big thank you to our wonderful Rangers.
We talked about how Spring often brings new life and all of the plants and flowers start to grow. We set up an experiment to test what plants need to help them grow. We have planted one bean in the window with the sunshine and the other one in the dark cupboard. We then made predictions about what might happen. We are measuring the shoots each week to see which one grows faster.
We have been working with our buddies to develop our ICT skills. We learnt how to log on and practised our keyboard skills. As a school, we have been learning about Internet Safety and P1/2 have learnt about keeping their personal details safe and secure.
In Maths we have been learning subtraction facts to 10. We have been counting in 2s, 5s and 10s and looking at dot patterns during our Number Talks sessions. Some children have been learning how to count forwards and back from different numbers to 100. This week we also started learning about Time. We went outside and used the number tiles to make a giant clock. We then used our bodies to make the hands on the clock. Miss Mudd gave us a time and we had to make it with our bodies!
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
P1/2 and Miss Mudd
