Chinese whispers…

Mya brought in a book from home to share with us, she did a book blessing and told us we would love this book if we liked funny stories. We agree with her,  it was so funny!

This story reminded us of the game Chinese Whispers so we played it as part of talking and listening.

Lots of learning in 1F!

We have been developing our understanding of number in maths today.

If you want to help us at home, ask us questions like:

”Can you count forward starting at 7?”

”Can you count backwards starting at 13?”

”Which number comes after…?”

”Which number comes before…?”

We are aiming to be confident working within numbers to 20 by the end of Primary 1.

 

We we are also learning to take away within 10.

 

Young Leaders

P1F helped P6R earn their Young Leader qualification this morning.  It was a lot of fun and we got to develop our skills in lots of different games.

P6R had to consider the following points when they were organising and running the games-

We think they did a great job! 🌟

Listening for information

We have been practising our listening skills in Primary 1 today. It is important to listen to all information when we are given an instruction and then to think about it.

We had to listen to and follow instructions this morning to decorate Christmas Trees  we had to apply lots of other skills including colouring, counting and drawing. It needed lots of concentration!

We have also been using Go Noodle, you need to watch and concentrate really hard to copy the dances.

 

Learning to tell the time!

In Primary 1F we are learning about time. By the end of Primary 1 we would like to be able to-

  • Say the days of the week in order
  • Say the months of the year in order
  • Describe the changes in the seasons
  • Tell the time (o’clock and half past)

Today we were learning to tell the time on an analogue clock. We learned a clock has a face and 2 hands!
