Primary 1 have been working on 2 new sounds, r and m, in Literacy. We have also been enjoying working with our first reading book. In writing we are practising writing our names correctly , retelling a story and thinking about beginning middle and end.

In Numeracy we have been working on ordering, writing and counting numbers to 5, and in Mathematics we are learning about 2d shapes, including squares, circles, triangles and rectangles. Please ask us about geometric shapes that we see when out and about.

We have been working on ball skills in PE, throwing, rolling and catching, aiming the ball and using opposite hands and feet. In Health and Wellbeing we are learning to listen to others and take our turn to talk at circle time. We are enjoying organising our School Harvest Collection and hope you received the letter we wrote about this. We are going to decorate collection boxes for each class to encourage people to bring in donations.

In Social Studies we have discussed the jobs that people do, especially the unseen jobs that are done in school by catering staff, janitor, cleaners and administrator. Mrs. Johnstone will visit our class to tell us about all the work she does.
