Getting ready to cheer on Scotland in the football on Monday. We made some bunting to decorate our classroom and did some colouring too.

Well done to Calvin, our latest pupil of the week. He has been challenging himself to listen carefully and follow instructions in the classroom.

Also well done to Charlotte, our playground star for this week.

CLIC Targets for P1 Term 4 Week 9

C – Counting

For counting we are going to practise our number recognition and number formation. Use the number square to point to a number and say it’s name. Can you write down any numbers you are asked? Use a whiteboard or paper to practise your number formation.

L – Learn Its

Learn its are number facts which we try to remember and quickly recall without working out the answer. We have to remember the doubles to 5. We now also add two further addition facts and saying the multiples of 10 to 100.

1+1=2  2+2=4  3+3=6  4+4=8  5+5=10

2+3=5  2+1=3 (we also practise the switchers – 3+2=5 and 1+2=3)

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

These facts are practised orally and this term we will start weekly written practise.

I – It’s Nothing New

These are facts like our learn its but instead of asking What is one add one? we say What is double one?

Can you double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

C – Calculations

This week we will focus on multiplication.

Can you set out groups of objects and find the total. E.g. 3 groups of 5 make 15, 2 groups of 6 make 12 etc. As a challenge try some mental multiplying.

Well done to Hollie, our latest pupil of the week. She has been participating well in all class activities and trying her best this week.

Also well done to Zac, our playground star for this week.

CLIC Targets for P1 Term 4 Week 9

C – Counting

For counting we are going to practise our multiples of 10, counting in tens from 10 – 100. If you are looking for more challenge, try counting in tens from other starting points e.g. 6, 16, 26, 36 … You can use a number square to help with this, going down the rows.

L – Learn Its

Learn its are number facts which we try to remember and quickly recall without working out the answer. We have to remember the doubles to 5. We now also add two further addition facts and saying the multiples of 10 to 100.

1+1=2  2+2=4  3+3=6  4+4=8  5+5=10

2+3=5  2+1=3 (we also practise the switchers – 3+2=5 and 1+2=3)

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

These facts are practised orally and this term we will start weekly written practise.

I – It’s Nothing New

These are facts like our learn its but instead of asking What is one add one? we say What is double one?

Can you double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

C – Calculations

This week we will focus on subtraction. Can you take away and find out how many are left?

Use objects you have at home and make a group to take away from. Try using different amounts to start with and take away different amounts.

If you can manage using materials, try some mental subtraction, working out the answers in your head.

Well done to Tyler, our latest pupil of the week. He has been learning and remembering well the letter sounds we have been practising this week.

Also well done to Hollie , our playground star for this week.

P1 enjoyed working with Miss McKay over her 6 weeks at Abbotswell. We wish her the best of luck in her future teaching career.

CLIC Targets for P1 Term 4 Week 8

C – Counting

For counting this week we will looking at CORE numbers to 10. This involves having a greater understanding of the numbers to 10 by comparing, ordering, rounding and estimating. We will be looking at number stories (adding), greater than/less than and subitising (recognising how many objects without having to count).

L – Learn Its

Learn its are number facts which we try to remember and quickly recall without working out the answer. We have to remember the doubles to 5. We now also add two further addition facts and saying the multiples of 10 to 100.

1+1=2  2+2=4  3+3=6  4+4=8  5+5=10

2+3=5  2+1=3 (we also practise the switchers – 3+2=5 and 1+2=3)

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

These facts are practised orally and this term we will start weekly written practise.

I – It’s Nothing New

These are facts like our learn its but instead of asking What is one add one? we say What is double one?

Can you double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

C – Calculations

This week we will focus on adding again.

Can you count two groups of objects altogether to find the total?

Use objects you have at home and form 2 groups to add together with different amounts. You could even try 3 groups of objects to add together.

Or practise your mental maths skills by adding in your head.

Well done to Lilly, our latest pupil of the week. She has been trying her best and cooperating in a team to create fantastic group artwork in class this week.

Also well done to Jakub, our playground star for this week.
