John Rae Week - Day 1

This week we are learning about a famous Orcadian - John Rae.  We are learning about what life was like when he was alive and how different it is now.  Today we went a visit to the Stromness Museum to see how we preserve the past and give us a better idea of life nearly 200 years ago!  Here we are at the statue of John Rae.  He has a knife and gun for hunting! 

Patterns!

We have been making different kinds of patterns in P1.  We used the pegs and shells to make patterns and after we read one of the e-books we made patterned flags just like Toby.  Some boys and girls made patterns on the whiteboard.  We also like to make sound and actions patterns.

Having fun in P1!

We have been busy in P1 learning lots of things.  Our topic is 'All About Me' and we have been learning about our names and about which month we were born in.  

We are developing our understanding of similarities and differences between us.
