We love to hear this learning buzz!🤩 Such a lovely morning with our P7 buddies. We shared stories and even created new front covers for the books we read. Thank you P7 for sharing your skills, patience and kindness.💛 @mrstoddp7.bsky.social

Thanks to your donations we were able to create a bottle bug hotel in our playground! Mr Millar safely fixed it to our fence and we spent Forest Thursday filling it with natural materials that the bugs might like! We then enjoyed some risky play; building our confidence, patience and resilience!💛

Such engaged learners! We loved painting autumn trees, working on playdough letters, identifying 3D shapes, sorting sound cards, building Lego and even exploring “pumpkin soup” in our play today! We even got an impromptu puppet show from some P7s who were busy in the library!🤩

Box Zoos, sandcastles, badgers and nocturnal animals, and car ramps. Just some of the fun we had today as we created in our play.

It was lovely to meet you P1! You demonstrated excellent listening skills, perseverance, teamwork, patience and we loved your imagination too! Take care of your conker spiders and make sure their legs don't get too sore playing football! 😉🕷️⚽ #spinderella #outdoorlearning #conkerspiders

The most fantastic morning with @uttoutdoorlearning.bsky.social ! We listened to Spinderella then made our own conker spiders using conker clamps and palm drills! We then built habitats for some furry creatures and could present our creations to friends! So many incredible skills being developed!👏🏻

What a busy day! Roll-a-sound letter practise, 3d shape sorting, Hungry Caterpillar Lego challenge and headband craft, identifying cones and spheres and our first Talk for Writing story map attempt which was A-MA-ZING!!! Some of us even shared our maps with the P7 buddies! Such confident learners!🌟

Great fun at our Technology group for Leading the Learning today! We loved participating in a build challenge with our P2 friends. We had to use trial and error and then test our creations to see if they met our criteria. Great job everyone! @antomissdouglas.bsky.social

In Leading the Learning this week, we were inspired by the artist Banksy. We tried some of his coloured rain art and discussed why he is a secret artist! How cool. Who IS Banksy? #banksy

We used the smart board today to work out the missing numbers and play learning games. We have enjoyed a range of activities this week in Rainbow Play!

We practised the 6 common words we already know and then enjoyed trying some of our new Rainbow Play tasks. Ask us about this at home! In the afternoon, we tried lots of different harvest fruits and vegetables and could talk about how they tasted and how they were picked or harvested.

We learnt the Caterpillar C and Kicking K sounds today. In the afternoon, we discussed which foods are picked and used k

We used shape frames to help us identify 2D shapes in our environment today during Forest Thursday. We also enjoyed drawing 2D shapes with chalk. We turned these into all kinds of interesting pictures, adding details and discussing the shapes as we drew. Fabulous work! @mathsweek.scot

Lots of fun and laughs today as we hunted around the school for 2D shapes with our buddies! They were impressed at how confident we are in identifying the shapes we know! We then used this knowledge to create a shape shield! Great job everyone! @mathsweek.scot @mrstoddp7.bsky.social

We loved the Numberblobs today to count using our 10 frames. We also practised ordering numbers to 10 and made some numicon books for @mathsweek.scot.

Mrs McBride & Mrs McGuire P1 @antomrsmcbride.bsky.social · 18d

Today in Numeracy, we played lots of counting to 10 games then we added the correct number of leaves onto the numbered Autumn trees ourselves. We are getting great at 121 counting to 10! Some of us tried using numicon to also find bonds to 10.

The children decided to make some leaf crowns this morning. Then, these crowns quickly moved to leaf monster truck crowns! Craft, counting, and interests all in 1.

Check our hedgehogs! We collected these leaves at our last Forest Thursday and used them today to create our autumn hedgehogs. We are learning about the 4 seasons and what might grow or change in each season. We noticed how all the leaves, trees and weather changes!

Leaf rubbing and doh hedgehogs or conkers were a favourite make in our play today. Some children even added spikes! We learned today about why some animals in our local area need to hibernate.

Lots of opportunities for exploring 3D shapes on Friday! We are beginning to look at shape properties; their faces, edges, corners and can they stack or roll! We also learnt how to accept an airdropped photo on the iPads to colour using markup. Fabulous work P1!😊
