Primary One have completed the sounds of the alphabet and are working hard on their reading and comprehension skills and learning to write a dictated sentence. Thank you for supporting us with their homework and going over their reading books.

In numeracy we made a great start in addition, concentrating on vocabulary such as add, altogether, more than, plus, equals, gives, makes. In Maths we are working on time, and have been talking about the calendar, seasons, months, and days of the week. Please take every opportunity to talk about what you are doing on different days and revise order of the days at home. We will move on to reading analogue and digital clocks and telling the time on the hour.

We have been discussing weather, looking at the BBC weather website, and writing a weather report.

The children have been to keen to practise greetings in French. In Science we have been learning about electricity. Vicky Armstrong also came to lead an art lesson on the theme of Electricity.
