P1 have been learning all about the world around them. We are looking at the signs of Autumn and discovering how we can use what we found on our Autumn Walk for Play. Have a look..
Primary One are learning to recognise and read our High Frequency Words.
We have created a special password to enter the P1 classroom.
Every child must High Five and say the 4 important words of the week.
The password changes every week so P1 have to be on their toes!
Watch Matthew in the video below, he's an expert already!
This week Primary One have started Mathletics!
We love all the numeracy activities that we can explore in school and at home! This week we are using the iPads in class to complete tasks based around pattern! This makes learning Maths facts so much more exciting and enjoyable.
At home we can choose our own activities and earn points by completing tasks. We can even compete against pupils at different schools!
We have seen the older children in Dunclug Primary School receive certificates and rewards in Assembly for their hard work in Mathletics and we can't wait to join them!
This Term Primary One are looking at the topic 'People who Help Us'.
We have been thinking about the people in our community and the many ways that they help us on a regular basis.
In our Play Based Learning this week we have been pretending to be Vets. Our receptionist takes phone calls and makes appointments, our vets treat the animals and the pet owners bring their animals for check ups. We have been having a lot of fun!
We have also been pretending to be builders. We build in the sand, with play dough, with lego bricks and building blocks. We have been making houses, shops, skyscrapers and castles.
We are learning Set 1 and 2 of our Jolly Phonics. In Play Based learning we get to explore these sounds a little more. We decorate sounds, make play dough sounds, hunt for them in our sensory bin, paint them and create collages with them.
We love to write. We work at our Finger Gym everyday. Each week there is a new exercise task. This week we are writing secret messages in the glitter salt. We practise our names and sounds at the writing table. We like to write on whiteboards and chalk boards using prompts to help us.
Have a look at the photos below to see some of the activities we have been enjoying.
Our P1 pupils enjoyed their Autumn walk yesterday with Mrs Henderson! We found lots of different colours, shapes and sizes of leaves. We kicked and swished the Autumn leaves, then looked for as many different colours as we could find!
