Science-Living and Non-Living Things

Grade 1 students have been learning about the needs of living things this term.  This student is sorting living and non-living pictures.

2D pattern block designs

Today, students used pattern blocks to create a picture from a pre-made design. Afterwards, one student designed her own flower.  Later, we discussed what shapes we could use if we didn't have a hexagon.

3D shapes

Students have been learning about 3D shapes over the past week.  They are learning the names and the properties of the shapes.  Students are also learning how to sort the shapes by their similarities.

                                             Above, students match the shape to the name.

                                              This student is building a skeleton of a cube.

2D shapes with geoboards

Students used geoboards to create a variety of 2D shapes. After, they drew their shapes on dot paper.

Welcome!

Welcome to Primary Performance! On this site, you will have a chance to look inside our classroom and see what the students have been investigating this year.

In math, students have been using scales to determine mass using non-standard units.

Here, another student is using unit cubes to measure the length of a chair seat.
