Primary 1a have been looking at tartan patterns and learning about how some tartans help identify a family name.
We looked at the lines and the colours in a range of tartans then we created our own using rollers and paint. Some of the class also created patterns of lines using a paper weaving technique.

P1 have been thinking about where they live. We know we live in a country called Scotland and that it is part of the UK. Primary 1a talked about about some of the things we knew about Scotland and about how some things help us to recognise countries or places.
We learned that the thistle is the national Scottish flower. Using the internet we looked at pictures of thistles and studied their features. After we had identified the different parts of the flower we then used oil pastels to create our own art work.
Look at our creations!
This week we have been revising all our sounds and practising our blending skills.
Some of the activities we did this week were: reading CVC words as fast as we could, reading sentences to find out what they said so that we could draw the correct picture, adding ‘ee’ or ‘oo’ to make words and another activity was sorting out words to make sentences.
Loads of fun in our classroom!
Keep up the great work P1! 🙂
Over these sessions we have been learning all about nouns, verbs and adjectives. We have been learning how to improve our story sentences by adding these special words in. Last week we learned what an adverb is and how to use it in a sentence. One of our favourite games in class is ‘Silly Sentences’. We like making up silly sentences with the jigsaw and then we try to add in adjewctives and adverbs to make it an exciting sentence!
Can you make this sentence exciting?
