👩🏼‍🏫 Teaching P1 within Beancross Primary School💜
We learned about children’s rights and explored what international aid means. We discussed how organisations work together to lend a helping had. We drew pictures showing things they could give or do to help people in less economically developed countries and communities in need of support💛🌍

Today we created beautiful Bonfire pictures using salt art! We sprinkled salt onto our designs and added watercolour paints to bring them to life, the colours spread through the salt and looked just like fireworks in the night sky🎆🎇

Today we explored measurement by making playdough! 🎨👩‍🍳 We measured full and half cups to get the mix just right 🥣 Then we discussed how to fix it if it was too sticky or if we’d added too much flour, great problem-solving💡

Today is the European day of languages. We listened to stories which were in French, Spanish and Irish. We also designed flags for a country of our choice. They did a great job! @missmeiklebps.bsky.social @missmcguckinbps.bsky.social @mrsswanbx.bsky.social #EuropeanDayOfLanguages

We have been learning about the Zones of Regulation. 🌱 Today we explored the Green Zone- when we feel calm, happy & ready to learn. We shared ideas that help us stay there & started making our own Zones of Regulation charts to track our feelings. 💚

This week some of the children have been fascinated with caring for babies 👶🏼 They carried out check-ups to listen to heartbeats ❤️, gave “immunisations” 🩺, and checked weights to make sure the babies were growing strong 🧑‍⚕️✨

Today in numeracy, we had fun adding 10s together! We threw a ball at the dartboard to hit two numbers, then wrote a number sentence to match. Using our super counting-in-10s skills, we figured out the answers🎯➕🔟
