Dinosaur Discovery in P1

Archie the archaeologist has paid us another visit and left behind a very special egg! Inside was a cute, cuddly, fluffy green baby dinosaur! We decided to call him Dino and he is taking it in turns to go home with P1M children at the end of each school day. We have learned lots about Dinosaurs this week and know that the word dinosaur means ‘terrible lizard.’ Some of the boys in primary 1 know lots of facts and information about Dinosaurs and really are ‘Dinosaur Experts’ already! They are helping Mrs McKay and Mrs Sutherland pronounce dinosaur names correctly and sharing their knowledge with everyone in P1.

Carefully taking the dinosaur egg to show P1S what was discovered in P1M after lunch!

The girls were sure they heard something moving about inside the egg and were listening carefully.

We went on a dinosaur hunt and managed to find all of the dinosaur pictures that were hidden in the playground-great detective work P1!

Beebots

We were desperate to use the Beebots in P1M this week and have learned how to enter commands to control the Beebot. It can move forwards, backwards, turn right and left-we had to think very carefully about the direction we wanted to move it.

There are some great Beebot games online. We also looked at Pac-Man games on the smartboard and discussed the ways in which he could move. Knowing the difference between a left turn and right turn was very important!

Creating our own Beebot grids.

Reward Time fun

This week we decided to take our reward time outside. P1M and P1S children all gave a huge thumbs up when asked if they had enjoyed being outside and are keen to go outside next week again.

We have been talking about what our bodies need to be healthy. We designed super hero characters to remind us that we should try to

eat healthy food
get enough sleep
wash/clean our bodies
exercise
do things that make us feel happy.

A Mystery and a Challenge

Leave a reply

There was a visitor in the Primary 1 classroom at lunchtime. We had no idea who it was, but some of us thought we heard footsteps and a door closing.

The visitor left us a letter on very , very old crumpled paper.

We have a mission! We have to help Archie the Archeologist find out all that we can about dinosaurs as he has forgotten his notebooks!

We know lots of dinosaur facts already, such as that they are extinct. This means that we don’t need to worry about finding a real one in the class! We know that some had long necks and some had spikes to protect them. We are going to find out lots more to help Archie!
