The LC1 have been learning about animals and insects this term. We finished off our topic with a trip to Gorgie City Farm. We had a great day playing in the park, hearing a story and getting to touch some of the farm animals.
The LC had a visit from Fitch the Therapup. We got to feed him some treats and learn a little bit about dogs. Some of us were a bit nervous, but were very brave and stroked Fitch! We can’t wait to see him again and take him for a walk.
The LC had a great time on global play day. We enjoyed playing with others at loose parts play and using our imagination! We also played with toys in class and did some lego and stickle brick challenges! We made horses, tables and transport.
The LC1 have been learning about insects and animals. We have been helping P7 to take care of their fish. We cleaned the fish tank and fed the fish. We really enjoyed this and it was a big responsibility!
The LC1 went on an end of term trip to Frankie and Benny’s at Ocean Terminal. We have been learning about our local community and visiting different places so it was really fun to visit Ocean Terminal. We ordered our own food enjoyed a delicious breakfast! We had a lovely morning with our friends and families.
L.I.- To measure ingredients. To name shapes and use shapes to make a picture.
We have been learning about measure in maths and for maths week we did some baking. We made delicious pizzas and had to measure lots of ingredients.
We also used 2D shapes to make pictures with Mr Borthwick. We chose shapes and drew around them to create our own individual pieces of art!
Learning Intention- To find out about people who help us. To find out how firefighters help us.
We had a visit from a firefighter called Neil in class. We got to try on his uniform and ask lots of questions. A fire engine came to school and we got to go inside and use the hose! It was really fun and interesting!
Learning Intention- To identify coins. To pay for snack.
On Monday we went to the shop to buy snack. We had to find the items on our shopping list and pay for them at the till. We bought lots of yummy snacks for snack time!
The LC1 had a lovely indoor picnic during health week. We enjoyed eating our healthy lunches on the mats and watching Peppa Pig.
The LC1 and LC2 had our LC Summer Picnic this week and everybody had a great time. We made some delicious snacks for the picnic in class. All of our parents and carers came along to join us at Botanical Broughton. We played some parachute games, did sports activities, ate a lovely picnic and got medals! We had lots of fun!
This week is health week and so we have been learning about healthy living. We have been doing some exercise and dancing and learning about healthy eating. We made a yummy fruit salad and used the left over fruit to make a delicious smoothie. We washed our hands, washed the fruit, chopped it, mixed it together and put it in the blender with some milk.
The LC1 have had a very busy start to the term. Our topic is Living and Growing, and we have been learning about plants. We are growing our own cress in class and have been digging in our planter to prepare to plant some seeds and grow some flowers. We have also been learning about the different parts of a plant! Take a look at our pictures of us hard at work!
This week is Diversity Week and we have been trying different foods from countries all over the world. We tried crumpets from England, croissants from France, pomegranate from Turkey, Mango from Peru, Strawberries from Spain and lots of different Polish snacks. We looked at where the countries are on a map and learned how to say hello in Polish too!
As it is Burns Night this week, we have been learning about Scotland and doing lots of fun activities. We have created our own tartan, learned about some Scottish words, listened to some Burn poems and made delicious shortbread to eat at snack time!
Learning Intention- To learn how to cross the road safely.
Last week was road safety week and we have been learning about how to cross the road safely. We need to stop, look and listen. We practised this in class and pretended to be cars and to cross the road.
We also learned about being safe in the car.
Friday 17th November
Learning Intention- To know what makes a good friend.
This week is anti-bullying week so we have been learning about what it means to be a good friend. We have read some stories about friendship in class. We sorted picture cards into groups of a good friend and a bad friend and spoke about what was happening in the pictures. We have been trying hard to make sure that we are kind and have been learning what to do if someone is being unkind to us.
Welcome to the LC1!
We have been very busy recently. This term our topic is All About Me and we are learning about shape in maths. We are continuing to go to The Yard and swimming each week as well as continuing with our literacy and maths programmes. We will be doing lots of music and art this term too! Please remember to send your folder in each day.
Thanks
Miss Bishop and the LC1 Team
The Yard
Every Wednesday we go to The Yard. We always have a lot of fun at The Yard and enjoy playing and learning with all of the different things there. We like to ride on the bikes, climb, dress up and play in the sensory room and soft play. Here are some photos from our recent trips.
