"TO ACHIEVE IT - YOU MUST BELIEVE IT"
Our Last Day in Primary One
Primary One is now done! We have had so much fun learning to run in our learning.
Our Last Day in Primary One
Thank you to everyone from our superstar children, our fab families and kind community for all your support.
What a wonderful woods adventure we have had this term together. Every Thursday the Primary Ones have gone to the local forest to play, investigate and take part in challenges. I have collected a huge amount of photos for you to enjoy.
We have taken wandering walks, super scavenger hunts for different objects, counting collections in tens and ones, building dens for mini people, making beautiful art pictures, sharing stories of the Gruffalo and Going on a Bear Hunt. We made obstacle courses, rolled down hills, ran over tree trunk roots, threw leaves, climbed trees, swung on branches, sat in the den and so much more.
We are so wonderfully proud of our primary ones with their achievement and growth. What amazing superstars we have. We are excited to continue to watch them blossom throughout the years!
Have a wonderful summer together outside enjoying the weather no matter what it is.

This term we have been working hard on promoting healthy snacks in our classroom.
We use snack time as a time to socialise, be grateful for the food we have and be mindful.
Healthy food helps our our bodies be strong, builds our mind to be smarter and teaches us the importance of being thankful.

BLOCK PLAY
Block Play has been hugely popular this year for us in Primary One. It boosts so much imagination and creativity within our young people. Children work hard on their motor skills, coordination, spatial awareness and more. During block play we are always provided with opportunities to enhance, extend and improve both mathematical and literacy/language skills. One child has said that his block play was his biggest achievement while others have said it was their most favourite thing about Primary One.

FORTS
March Madness has been building, making and creating our own forts. We have planned and investigated finding out about many different forts including castles. From this knowledge, children have built on their play skills by adding to their designs with more detail and explanations. Role play within and with the forts are immersed in literacy skills such as play/ talk, listening, reading and writing. Can you spot many of our added accessories such as weapons, defences and well known features.
Check out our Chair
We followed the instructions to make some chairs and tables. We experimented to see if we could get our teddies to sit and use them as part of role play.
House made of plastic straws
The children have been busy making forts but they decided to make a nice wee house for a change.
Olympic Hurdles
The children were busy making different hurdles. They made several individual ones. Next came double hurdles were the children experienced travelling over these and even lying down in the middle of them. By the end the children made an all mighty, triple hurdle. Children took turns stepping, jumping and hurtling over them. They cheered and waved flags for encouragement.
We have worked hard to create our classroom door together. In a class meeting we decided what was to go on the door and then we worked together to make our vision happen. We have added both vines, leaves and apples. The leaves have our names and dates of birth on them. The apples show how many people are in our classroom community.
Welcome back to our class blog! Families have done amazing during our first weeks of learning in 2021! The children returned to school with mixed feelings. This week we talked about the positive things about being back to school. Many children said seeing friends, playing in the classroom/outside in our sensory garden and being back together. Here are many of the fun things we got up too.
Number Activities
Sequencing, counting and adding with numicon. We had skip counting in twos and threes as well.
We played dominoes in small groups to practise our subitising skills, we added up our left over dominoes to reveal the winner's score. We had four winner.
Lewis 37. Elsie 32 . Callum and Amelia had split their points of 42 giving them 21 each.
The girls made an enormous chocolate mud cake to enjoy from nature.
We made den buildings from the numicon that allowed us to see the similarities and differences with odd and even numbers. We could see which could slot together to make totals that were bigger etc. It allowed us to practise our addition skills in the total of each wall too.

Live chat and session by Michael Carr and Scottish Book Trust where we learnt about the moon, moles, his book RocketMole and tried to draw his main character.
Songbird Book reading.
We continued to go outside daily working on team work, physical skills, co-ordination, being healthy and strong, building relationships and being curious about our environment/resources.
We explored our creativity making a MOON, MONSTER, GIFTS FOR OUR FAMILY, FLAGS, A BOOK WITH A FEATHER BOOK MARK, A RAINBOW MIRROR AND so much more.
This week we explored the story of Little Red Riding Hood after reading Little Miss in Lockdown. We read a retold version where we were able to draw a story map to the story. It began with granny being ill and the family making her a pie. Next Little Red Riding Hood went to visit gran but there was a wolf around who got there first. His plan was to eat her by tricking her. In this version Gran saved the day by throwing pie at the wolf by escaping from the bin. From this the children explored a letter that the wolf had written to them asking for advice of how to make the situation right? We suggested he did the following things with Gran and Red Riding Hood:
"He should ask them if they will be friends with him. "
"We could have a party to make it up to you."
"Can you play with me as I am sad and lonely."
We even suggested that: "Lets play together and I will show you what a good friend is like."
The children read the traditional tale the next day to find the new character of the woodcutter. They also read the role reversal in Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes in a rhyming poem when the tale is reverse. This allowed the children to explore: "Does this mean that Red Riding Hood was not a good little girl?"
We also read the Rainbow Fish. In the middle we predicted the advice of the wise Octopus:
Ask to play Giving them a Scale. Saying Sorry Try to talk to them Just swim with them until their ready.
This book we learnt about what we all need, sharing, caring, our actions, being a good friend, being beautiful on the inside by being a good friend. We all made our own individual fish too to show we are all different. A group of fish is a school and we promise to be these things while we are at school.

We are continuing to learn about our characters and enjoying our first word books. We are working hard to build our sight vocabulary and use our sounds to help us with words. We talk about the titles, predict what may happen in the stories and we are trying to remember that Roderick Hunt is the author of the stories while Alex Brychta is the illustrator. We have worked on sequencing the story afterwards and are learning to answer or think of questions to do with our stories too. We hope to share some with you soon.
