In Literacy Primary 1 have started learning to recognise capital letters and form them correctly. We are continuing to work on our reading, tricky words and new sounds. The children are enjoying working in pairs teaching each other to write words with ee and oo sounds.

We are continuing to work on numbers to twenty,  subtraction to five and related vocabulary. In maths we are learning about money. This is a tricky topic for children who have not had much experience in shopping and handling coins. It would be very helpful if families could support their children at home by using a collection of coins to recognise and order [1p to £2].

In French we are working on colours and will be using this to give our school dinner orders.

In Health and Wellbeing we have discussed what goes onto and into our bodies, and what is  safe and not safe.

We have been practising races and games for our school sports in PE.

Our cross-curricular topic is ‘In the Garden’  and we are learning about plants and minibeasts through a variety of activities. We have learned about living and non-living things and have also been tending our tattie barrel in the garden.

Miss Robbie has been teaching us about beat and volume in music.
