In Primary 1 we learned about the Lunar New Year π§§.
we found it very interesting that each year is represented by a animal and that this year is the year of the snake π. We talked about what animals represented the years we were born, 2018 the dog π, 2019 the pig π and 2020 the rat π.
We decorated lanterns and made paper snakes π.
On Monday we had a great buddy session where we learned lots about Robert Burns and made information posters to show our learning.
Our Topic this term is Scotland and we are enjoying learning Scots language through stories and poems.
Our art this week was based on our Scottish topic, inspired by tartan Β and Robert Burs we created our own tartan silhouette pictures.
On Thursday we celebrated Robert Burs day early. We learned that he is a very famous Scottish poet. We made shortbread in class as well as haggis neeps and tatties and had a burns supper,birthday party in class.
We were all excited and some a bit nervous about the weather, have a lovely weekend π
In class this week we have been using different language for big and small in our number work, greater and less, more and fewer. We have played lots of games with numbers to develop our understanding.
We spent some time this week deciding what it was that we wanted to learn about Scotland for our topic, we came up with some fantastic ideas and are now keen to learn more.
It was lovely weather for our outdoor learning this week and we enjoyed spending some time in the school garden, checking on what we had planted at the start of the year. After the garden we had some time in the trip trail, work on our balance and co ordination skills as well as working together. Everyone loves getting outside.
In RE we learned the story of Noah and his Arc, we all made our own rainbows π to represent Godβs promise.
Have a lovely weekend βΊοΈ
What a fast first week back to school in Primary 1.
We have enjoyed the excitement of the colder weather, in class we had snow in our tuff tray and made our own ice π§ with water in the freezer. It was lots of fun trying to save the winter animals that were trapped in the ice. This brought about lots of discussion around the process of freezing and melting and how we have had snow and not rain.
We took this interest into our writing this week, writing about ice and snowmen βοΈ.
During number work we have been looking at ordinal numbers and left and right. This gave us lots of opportunities to have races and play lots of games. We looked around the room to see where else we use ordinal numbers, we did very well pointing out that we use it on the calendar π and that our birthdays π we use ordinal numbers.
We have started our new topic for this term, Scotland. We will be learning facts about Scotland and about famous Scottish π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ people and Scottish words and songs. We have started by looking at the π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ Scottish Flag and made some for our classroom.
Have a lovely weekend π
