Phonics Work

Fabulous phonics today from all the children, showing amazing letter writing., working hard with tricky words.

We enjoyed working out of words were real or fake.

Some of the class were matching the alphabet to the pictures.

Well done everyone!

Today we used our reading rotations to explore our story ‘Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs’.

We explored different dinosaur books to sound spot, built houses for our dinos, labelled and coloured dinosaurs and used our tuff try dino land!

Lots of rich discussion and fun play!

Our Focus this Term

Good afternoon.

I can’t believe we are almost at the end of our third week. We have squeezed a lot in but I just wanted to give you a wee update on what we will be looking at this term.

In numeracy ➕📐🧮

We will be focusing on counting and number knowledge, including sharing. We will also be looking at simple directions and creating and continuing patterns.

In literacy 📕✏️📖

We will be starting to learn to read by working on our phonics and begin blending words together. We will also be using the stories of Julia Donaldson as a focus to investigate stories and talk about our likes and dislikes.

In IDL 🧲 🌍 🎨

We will be focussing our learning around dinosaurs. We have got some questions we would like to answer and will be using numeracy, the arts and technologies to help us do this.

We continue to focus our HWB this term on keeping ourselves safe and our rights.

A busy Day in Primary 1

What a super day in school we had today!

We started the day outside exploring the loose parts garden. We even found a worm!


We then did some health and well-being and played the likes and dislikes game. We decided that most of us liked chocolate, horses and vegetables but we didn’t like thunderstorms or being hurt.


We enjoyed playing in the classroom and did some super number work.


We also learned the makaton for good morning and good afternoon.
