Magic Maths Assembly

The boys and girls of primary 1 worked hard this week to prepare a fun-filed assembly for their friends and family to share their journey of learning number in their first year of primary school.  

Their performance included songs, rhymes, exercises and even a rap! It was lovely to see the older boys and girls in the school getting involved too.  Our primary 1's did a super of job of demonstrating that learning Maths is fun!

Our very own Miss McKelvie and Mrs Sweeney :-)
5 Speckled Frogs!
We began P1 by learning to sequence numbers to 5 using the '5 Speckled Frogs' song
We can now count to 100...while exercising at the same time!
We learned how to form our numbers correctly using number rhymes to help us
We learned to form our numbers using a range of media including play-doh, chalk, pipe cleaners and paint



Mrs Sweeney is very impressed with the P1's number skills!
We use songs to learn to skip count in 2s, 5s and 10s and practise these daily
We can identify the symbol for adding and can use this in a number sentence
We learned different strategies for adding numbers
We can identify the symbol for subtraction and can use this in a number sentence
Doubles are no trouble for us!
Frogs that rap!
Even Miss McKelvie and Mrs Sweeney can recite their doubles to a rap!

Summer Trip to Briarlands Farm - P1a

Image
The boys and girls in P1a had a fabulous time on their end of term trip to Briarlands Farm. The children managed to cram in so much including testing their jumping skills on the huge jumping pillows, having fun in the play park, petting the animals, a tractor ride round the farm and a shot on the go carts.  Oh and not forgetting a pit stop for lunch in the barn.  All of the fun and excitement was too much for some...who had a little nap on the bus journey home! The children should be commended on their fantastic manners and behaviour throughout the day, they were a credit to their parents and school.  Well done boys and girls!

When our local Vets (Boyce and Houston) came to visit!

Image
When learning about 'The people who help us' Primary 1 were lucky enough to receive a visit from our local vets.  The vets surprised us by bringing along Danny the Dog.  The children learned all about the different jobs that vets carry out.  The children learned how to apply bandages to animal using soft teddies to practise.  They even learned how to use a stethoscope to check Danny's heart and how to use a special machine that locates and reads the information on Danny's microchip. The boys and girls learned so much from this visit and really enjoyed asking question and finding out information about the role of the vets in our community.

Primary 1 develop their STEM skills

The boys and girls in primary 1 explored the topic of Seasons through a range of STEM based activities in our STEM Hub. This included designing and making a Seasons t ree, making rain clouds in a jar, going on a weather walk and collating, organising and displaying findings. The children thoroughly enjoyed this topic, and through this, developed a range of skills including design, technology, problem solving,  scientific predicting/experimenting, information handing, critical thinking and team working.
