Mrs McBride & Mrs McGuire P1

We went on a book quiz hunt this afternoon with p7s . We had a great time answering qs

Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners! What a great effort from everyone. Super well done!

More tatties!

We absolutely loved sharing our tattie characters with our friends. We could even talk about how we created them and what materials we used.

Before home time, we wandered around the class in pairs and discussed which blurred our Book Characters were hidden.
We did so well working together and talking about who some of them could be!

We had a play today at Pirate's Treasure in our Numeracy Rainbow Play area. We had to use addition skills to see who could count the treasure to win the coin. Well done p1.

We had a teacher swap this afternoon as part of Book Day celebrations. Mrs Todd from p7 read us Traction Man. Afterwards, we made a zipline and some of our own traction men. We had a great time.

We enjoyed a game of pass the plate to help us read our common words!

It's almost Book Day! In p1, we have been working hard together to create a special Book Day Door! We have been making some funny PANTS today. Tomorrow, we will learn to sketch some Aliens. Can you guess our door theme? Literacy is important to us in p1 - we enjoy making it 😁 fun 😁

Today, we learned more about mosques,kindness and prayer in Ramadan. We then created a prayer mat using neon pastels and sequins. Ask us some facts about Ramadan at home.

In RME, we have started to learn about the Islamic tradition of Ramadan. We created some of our own present moon and star prints. We will be learning all about how Muslims prepare for Ramadan with their communities and families and how they celebrate Eid. Cultural learning is important to us in p1!

Great engagement in our play today-we counted coins, stamped CVC words in playdough, created fantastic buildings using construction materials, made lovely artworks, practised ‘th’ words, dug for dinosaur bones in the sand and played in the house corner. Such a busy day!🤩

Yesterday we listened to the story “My Big Shouting Day” and thought about ways to calm down when we feel angry. We got out for some fresh air, tried some grounding techniques and then drew some things that make us happy!🤩

Today we learnt all about the th diagraph. We could say lots of words which contained th too. Also, here are some of the pyramids completing fact families in Numeracy.

P1 bringing the funk today at our hip hop session with AJ Dance! Love, love, loved it!🤩

We learnt about personal space and boundaries today. We discussed how we can avoid being space invaders and even practised declining or accepting others into our space bubble. It’s ok to say “no, I need more space”!

Today, in HWB, we learnt how to stay safe online with Smartie the Penguin. We discussed who we should go to for help with ict equiptment, or what to do if pop-ups appear. #antohandwb @antorightsps.bsky.social

Using dienes to understand place value of numbers and to help us visualise how bigger numbers are made or partitioned too. Well done!

Chinese dragons with bricks and chopstick writing. Has your child spoke about our RME festivals and culture topic with you?...Chinese New Year!

We had great fun this afternoon learning about The Great Race! We even made our own zig zag Chinese dragons.

We had so much fun at the school food showdown. We learned about eating healthy and new cooking skills.

More snippets from our great morning at the School Food Showdown. Super job Red team! ✅🤩 @antomrsmcguire.bsky.social

The Red Chilli team had a smashing time at the food showdown. We made stir-fry and used a range of food tech skills. Well done my 2 little cooks! #antohandwb @antorightsps.bsky.social

We loved our karate session today! What a great way to keep our mind and body fit! We listened carefully to the instructions, took turns and gave it our best. Well done P1!

Another learner inspired by China and Chinese New Year in her play. "I've made the Great Wall of China". She was also caught hoovering the home corner in the area today to prepare for the new year hee hee.

A kind thanks to both ladies from Asda who came to talk us through the different parts of the Eatwell plate. Afterwards, we got to try some fruits and vegetables that we'd maybe never seen before. Well done p1 for trying some different items. @antorightsps.bsky.social

Best laughs today with Andy amd his Jammin Fitness session. We loved this activity as part of our HWB fortnight tasks.

One of our favourite morning songs 🎵 vowel bat. He helps us remember the 5 vowels in our alphabet.

Some of us made Chinese dragons today in our play! How cool...
