P1 Homework 18.11.3

For homework this week try the caterpillar counting game.  You have to put the numbers in the right order.  You can choose how big you want the numbers to be.

Children in Need!

Today we are all wearing our pyjamas to school because it is Children in Need day!  P2 told us all about Children in Need at their assembly yesterday and today we are doing things in school to raise money for this charity.  In P1 we are trying to cover a Pudsey in pennies.  We hope we raise lots of money.  Listen to Radio Orkney tonight to find out how much.

Donations Welcome!

We are still looking for toys and real life things to enhance the play in P1.   In particular, things to kit out a home corner or to help us look after our babies would be much appreciated.  If you have any of the following, please bring it along to the school. 

Dolls bed and blankets, pram, bath, or any real baby things like nappies, bottles and toys.

Old mobile phones, tv remotes, phones, computer keyboards. 

Many thanks! 

Lost!

Mr Bingham came in this morning and told us that Mum and Dad had lost some of the children!  Kipper, Biff, Chip, Wilf, Wilma, Nadim and Aneena were lost in the playground.  So was Gran!  We worked in small groups to find them.  Then we came back in and spoke about where each character was found.  We had a little discussion about what to do if your mum or dad wasn’t there at the end of school and decided the best thing to do is to come in and tell a teacher who can look after you until they arrive.  Thanks Mr Bingham for setting this all up for us.

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.
