Broomhill School P1 Room 4

Well done for some super pieces of writing! We are trying hard to remember finger spaces, full stops and capital letters. We are also trying to sound out and spell words ourselves.

Today we talked about why we need to tell the time and about what time we do things. At the moment we are learning about o’clock. Here are some pictures of the activities we did today.

The whole school took part in World Book Day. Every class decorated their classroom door, turning it into  popular book cover.

We all came to school dressed up as our favourite book character and had a parade round the playground for parents to see our costumes.

We did paired reading with the primary 6 class and went on  a Where’s Wally’ treasure hunt in the playground.

Primary 1 have been learning about recycling and how important it is to the environment. We have also been discussing the water cycle and collaged posters of how water is continually moving in a cycle.

Our topic as we move through this term is now dinosaurs (watch this space!)

We have 3 super writers! They each wrote at least 1 sentence and even used an exclamation mark at the end of their sentence. Our theme was Dinosaurs in the Spermarket, a very funny book written by Timothy Knapman. This also provided our inspiration for decorating our classroom door.

We are learning about a the diagraph “th” this week. It can be tricky for some of us, we need to make sure we don’t say “ff.”

It was Rainbows Thinking Day today. Some girls came in their uniform and shared their promise with us.

We also saw some very exciting photographs. L. is going to be a big sister in October!

We used Numicon this week to help some of us take away in maths.

We made delicious chocolate crispies and then had to write a set of instructions getting everything in the correct order, use bossy verbs and use sentence openers such as first, next, then etc. We enjoyed the crispies with our milk.

Here are just some of the activities we  did today.  We have also been learning the common words, by, only nod your.
