P1 Visit to the Royal Concert Hall

We had a great morning listening to the music of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra! We even got the chance to conduct the band! We sang, danced and clapped to keep the beat. The boys and girls really enjoyed it!

Fun with the alphabet!

Science week - Day 3

We have no pictures today as the class visited a different teacher today.  I asked the boys and girls what they had been doing...

Evan said "we had to see which board was the most slippery."

Riley said "My shoes kept slipping off the yellow board."

Mikey said "My shoes did backflips all they way down- it was slippy!"

Orlaith said "Rubber soled shoes worked best."

The children enjoyed their experiment today!

Science Week -Day 2

Today we had to build a bridge that was strong enough to hold 5 bears!

Tick Tock

The boys made a clock from Logan's seaside collection. Well done boys!

Science Week!

Today Primary 1 were learning about bubbles.  They made their own mixture - ask them which worked best - with hot or cold water?

Class Topics

This term we have been very busy!  Here is a quick update on some of our topics we have covered so far!

Literacy:  Tricky Words, Blending, Vowel digraphs, Capital letters, Sentence work, Simple punctuation

I regularly check the children's blending ability, assess Tricky word recognition and dictate words for the children to write.  This helps to assess their understanding and if more support is required.

Maths:  Subtraction, Money- adding up and giving out change, Time- o'clock and concept of Time, Addition to 10

At the end of each maths unit, the children complete an assessment to check for understanding.

                                     Ball games, Dance

Science:  Forces- push/pull/twist, Eco Topic - water

Art- Line drawing, Printing

French - colours

RME - Chinese New Year

A busy term but we have had lots of fun learning new things!

Bears!

As part of our topic on Toys, the children brought in their own favourite bears to the class. We compared them with Mrs Moynihan's old bear.

(It's my Dad's - it's 63 years old!)

Happy New Year!
