Lots of fun this afternoon at our dojo celebration! We relaxed with friends, watched a movie, enjoyed a sweet treat and juice, and the best part? Wearing our pjs!🤣 Wishing all of our wonderful children and families a fantastic break! 😊

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 are collecting for Harvest and our local ROOTS group. Help us to try and reach 200 items in our wheelbarrow!

We learnt the Caterpillar C and Kicking K sounds today. In the afternoon, we discussed which foods are picked and used k In a Harvest and made our own combine harvesters.

The loveliest time at our coffee morning event for MacMillan today. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us, your generosity is very much appreciated!💚 @mrstoddp7.bsky.social

So proud of our show and tell participants today and equally proud of their wonderful classmates who offered encouragement, kindness and asked wonderful questions. Well done everyone!🤩

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.

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!

Its @mathsweek.scot this week. We played lots of class subitising and counting games today whilst also learning about the number 9. We enjoyed the subitising puzzles 😊

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!😊

A busy show and tell on Friday with super information about favourite toys, pets, experiences and holidays. Well done everyone!🌟

Teamwork makes the dream work in P1! Just look at these responsible learners! We’ve been learning about how to protect habitats around us and today went on a litter pick to protect the wildlife in our playground. We also collected some leaves for our artwork next week. What a lovely afternoon!🤩

Super focus and concentration on our m sound work and art task today - fork painting hedgehogs! We have been learning more about animals and their habitats as well as what happens when habitats are not looked after properly. 🦔🍂🍁

Finger Gym in the tuff tray today was a HIT. Working our little fingers hard as we concentrated on the tasks. Building strength in our hands and fingers is really important to support our writing development. 😀 💪

Finger gyms, matching and ordering 0-10, and lots of formation practise today in Numeracy. Keep up the hard work p1s.

Doh Disco with Mrs McConkey, Splat common words with friends, number 8 formation tasks, and sorting some common words too. It was really busy today in P1. We still had some time to try hoop skills and games too in PE. Keep practising Buzz and Woody words at home. 😊

After discussing our Word of the Week BRAVE, we played a game of splat to identify and read some of our Buzz and Woody words this week. We also sorted our new words IN and IT by using hoops.

We used our sense of touch this morning to describe what we felt. We had to guess what the items were. It wasn't a hedgehog it was...conkers! Some of us even had 2 inside. Wow!

In numeracy today, we worked to count 7 items and form the number 7 the correct way around. This was tricky! We also had some play fun using the magnetic discs, ordering 0 to 10 and using the counting resources to demo up to 7. 😀

We learned a new sound today...r. We enjoyed watching what Geraldine Giraffe could find around her home with the sound r. Next, we had a think about which items contained r as the beginning sound. 🤔

Lovely to hear from these confident learners at show and tell! They told us about holidays, experiences, special toys, pets and achievements! Well done!🌟

Identifying 2D shapes, creating shape monsters, constructing shapes with loose parts and learning to use more features of the notes app. Just a few of our busy tasks on Friday! Great work everyone!

What a surprise! Our apples from the orchard on Forest Thursday became something even tastier!😜 We loved trying this apple pie as we learnt more about habitats and we are excited to find out more about seasonal produce. 🍏🥧

Lots of great teamwork and super creations in our play this morning! Well done P1!🤩

So much fun exploring habitats in our playground environment today for Forest Thursday! We discussed what creatures may live in different habitats and then went out to explore the different areas. Our favourite was the orchard-“it has shelter and food for the creatures”! 🤩🤩🤩

Owl babies story and making wee owls in our tuff tray, shape dinosaurs, washing dinosaurs, and creating counting block towers (popular today). SATPIN phonics revision and the number 6! 😀

Counting objects, mini brain flake creations, missing numbers forwards/backwards and some Buzz and Woody read and spot tasks. We even had Mrs Matheson join us for a game too this morning. Well done p1, an action-packed day!

Such a busy day! We also spent some time hunting for different types of stories in the library, enjoying 31 Time with friends and learning how to use different features of the notes app on the iPads! Great job P1!🤩

Fantastic participation at show and tell from these confident learners! We heard about special toys, holidays, days out, concerts, pets, favourite stories, hobbies and achievements! So lovely to share our interests with our friends!💛

We were bouncing into the weekend! What a fantastic morning we had on Friday with our friends! Thanks so much to @antopact.bsky.social for organising this super day!

Some fantastically imaginative play today-just look at our creations and the fun we’re having!🤩

We loved our shape disco today! We got some energy out dancing to our shape song, then when the music stopped we had to point to something that was either a circle, square, rectangle or triangle shape. Ask us at home what makes these shapes unique!

Another fantastic Forest Thursday where we discussed what kinds of living things we might come across in our playground. We hunted for minibeasts and considered where we might find them and why. We then enjoyed a little time to play outside, building confidence and resilience! Great job P1!🤩

After a busy morning, this afternoon we still managed to learn the n sound, complete our VIP tasks, discuss our new topic learning and of course, play!🤩

Great fun with our P2 friends at our first Leading the Learning session today. In our Technology group we were challenged to build a bridge that stretched over “water” and could hold at least three cars! Problem solving ✅Critical thinking✅Trial and error✅ Teamwork✅ @antomissdouglas.bsky.social
