Please ensure your child has a filled water bottle in school every day – it’s thirsty work being a BIG Primary 1.

We will have gym on a  Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with Mrs Duncan.

We will have art on a Friday with Mrs Brew. All children should have an art apron for taking part in art/messy activities.

We will be singing with Mrs Hamilton on a Monday.  Our favourite song is ‘The Penguin.’   Ask your child to perform it to you!

We have all been working hard to stay green all week.  We have also been learning to work as a team to earn table cubes.  Last week the top table got 86 points! We have also been moving up the golden time ladder for following the school rules.

We have been learning about different feelings.  We have spoken about feeling proud, feeling sad and today we spoke about what makes us happy.

We drew pictures to share our happy thoughts.  We were learning to add lots of detail into our pictures – this is a key skill we are learning to develop which will help us with story writing in the future.  We all managed to achieve our target!

We have been learning to record our addition sums this week. We have been working with a friend and using dice, fish bowls and butterflies to make different sums.

Some of the boys and girls have been learning to recognise numbers to 10.

They made a hand print number line to help them remember the numbers to 10. They also have been learning to follow the rules of maths games more independently. Well done!

We have been working in teams to use our adding grab mats.  We are learning to use the words add , and to find out what happens to a number when we add.   We will be taking our grab mats home for homework next week so that we can share our learning with our families.

Some of us have also been playing ‘Number Police’ and learning how to correctly write our numbers.
