Maths is fun in primary 1

Leave a reply

We have worked on a variety of tasks in class this week.  We have sorted out emojis into sets, made 2D shapes using skipping ropes, discussed how we can make numbers in different ways using our fingers and made lots of different shapes using squares.  We learned that completing maths tasks well involves team work, thinking carefully, not rushing and having a go-even if it seems tricky.  Nobody will make fun of us for trying our best-we have the confidence to have a go.  The story of Giraffes can’t Dance helped us understand what it means to have a Growth Mindset.

The Daily Mile in Primary 1

Leave a reply

The boys and girls in Primary 1 have had their first chance to take part in the daily mile. We looked at a film of some other boys and girls taking part and we decided that it looked like lots of fun! We had a discussion in the class about exercise and we know that running and walking and being in the fresh air are good things to help our little brains.

We will try and go out every day, and the exciting thing is that one of us will have Mrs McKay or Mrs Sutherland or another grown up as our walking partner. This will be a good chance to chat to our new teachers and we can find out more about each other!

Look out for some photographs which Mrs McKay has taken.

There is some information about the daily mile here , and you can ask us about it too.
