Where’s Wally in Primary 1?!

On Thursday 2nd March we celebrate World Book Day. We will have someone extra in the Primary 1 area that day!

Boys and girls, your challenge is to find Wally in the P1 classrooms or area! He will be hiding very carefully from you!

Good luck Primary 1 and happy reading!

Symmetry Treasure Hunt

As part of our learning about symmetry, we had a treasure hunt in class. We worked in groups to find things in the class that we thought might be symmetrical. Here are some of the things we found.

symmetry-1

symmetry-2

symmetry-3

symmetry-4

We also talked about egg boxes and scissors from the sounds table, the clock and the sand timer. We had a really good discussion and found lots of different things in the classroom.

We are going to have a look at home as well to see what we can find!

What’s That Coming Over The Hill? It’s a Symmetry Monster!

This week we have been learning about symmetry. We have played smartboard games and coloured and completed our own patterns and designs to show that we understand what it means when things are symmetrical.

Logan’s mummy came in this morning to help us with our symmetry monsters. Can you see how we have made these? If you look very closely and carefully, you will see who has made them even if there is not a name written!

We had great discussions when we were cutting out and sticking our monsters! We understood why they all look different – do you know why that would be?

The Daily Mile in Primary 1

Here we are getting ready for and then taking part in our daily mile challenge. The older boys and girls are doing this and we think we can do it too!

We have talked about different ways of moving – we can walk, jog, run, skip, hop and even march. We can chat to our running buddies when we are outside, and if we are lucky our running buddy might be one of our teachers!

There is some information about the daily mile here: The Daily Mile

We enjoyed being out in the fresh air. Mrs Sutherland and Mrs McKay were a bit windswept afterwards!!

Education City

All children in Primary 1 have been given a letter today explaining how to login to Education City at home. Each child has their own unique username and password.  We have allocated some games for the children to explore (instead of sending out homework in the red homework jotters), have a look in the ‘Homework’ section.  In class we are working through the activities at Early level-either Early** or Early***.  Some of the activities at First level will be too difficult for the children to complete independently.

Have fun boys and girls!
