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 🧊 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 ⛄️.

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 📅 and that our birthdays 🎉 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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 people and Scottish words and songs. We have started by looking at the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Flag and made some for our classroom.

Have a lovely weekend 😉
