Hello and welcome to this weeks blog.

In Numeracy we have been learning to recognise different coins and say the amount they are worth.

In language we have been learning a new sound, it is the ‘ay’ sound.

We had to try and think of words that had this sound in it. Then we had to try and spell the words out and write them.

Children have enjoyed some time in the yellow wing with the construction toys

Have a lovely weekend from all of us in P1F.

A massive welcome to the new year!!!!

We hope that you had a wonderful time over Christmas ans New Year.

This week has been a busy one and we are all back into the swing of work and routines and enjoyment of learning.

Hello and Welcome to our final blog of 2018.

We have had a fabulous week.

Happy Christmas to you all. And a Happy New Year when it comes.

Welcome to our penultimate week before the Christmas Holidays.

This week has been kind of busy with our Nativity.

The boys and girls worked really hard and it was a tiring job putting on 4 performances. We hope you enjoyed it.

We have continued with revising all of the sounds we have been learning during our time in Primary one.

We have also been working on adding numbers together within 10.

Next week our Christmas party is taking place on Wednesday afternoon. Our church service will take place on Friday morning at St. Mungo’s Parish Church. You are welcome to join us!

Hi Everyone,

Here is a quick update as to what has been happening in P1F this week.

Class Newsletter: Term 2

Mrs Fraser and P1F

Learning in Term 1:

In term 1 we learned all about life at school and the routines that we follow here at Redwell Primary. We focussed on our favourite stories and on creating new friendships within our class. We had a great time exploring our school and our school grounds and getting to know all of the people who help us in school.  We also focussed on our school rules and how to organise ourselves quickly for class in the morning, playtime, lunchtime, home time and for gym lessons. We place great value on the importance of play in P1 and the children have enjoyed regular opportunities to engage in activities such as construction, role play and imaginative small world play.

Homework will continue to be issued on a Monday and should be completed by Thursday.  There will be a selection of Numeracy and Literacy activities and occasionally topic related tasks.    Your child should also have a clearly labelled water bottle everyday which is filled with plain water prior to arriving at school.  Please ensure your child has a labelled weather appropriate jacket as there will be outdoor learning opportunities.

You will be able to follow what we have been doing in class each week by looking at our class blog. This can be accessed via the link on our class page on the school website.

Health and Wellbeing:

As a Health Promoting school we actively encourage and teach our children to make healthy choices, to enable then to become healthy, active and emotionally resilient young people of the future.

We are delighted to be able to continue to deliver 2 hours of PE a week as well as opportunities for children to be active in our fabulous new grounds.

We would appreciate your support in promoting a healthy and balanced diet, both in your child’s morning snack and in their packed lunch.  We would discourage any type of fizzy juice in school or energy drinks.  Children are encouraged to bring in a water bottle, which they can use during class time.  There are water fountains situated throughout the school for daily use.

Please encourage your child to participate in the Active Sports Clubs that are on offer at lunchtimes and after school, as well as any school based clubs that take place throughout the year.  Keep looking in school bags for further information.

A reminder that all children who cycle or scooter to school must wear a safety helmet and ‘walk’ their bikes whilst in the playground. There are bike racks available.

Playground toys:

We have a playground equipment for children to play with during lunchtime.  Please do not bring in your own toys – except for Golden Time on a Friday – so that we can be sure that all toys in the playground belong to the school.  Many thanks for your support.

Golden Time toys:

Children can bring a ‘toy’ to school on a Friday to play with during Golden Time. Please remember that the school cannot take responsibility for the safety of these toys and therefore we request that your child does not bring in expensive/ electronic items without your consent.  We appreciate your support with this matter.

Yellow Wing Cuddle on the Couch

Please help us to promote reading by joining us for Cuddle on the Couch.  Come along to the Yellow Wing and spend some time reading with your child.  This will be on alternate Mondays and Thursdays from 9 – 9.30.

I look forward to working in partnership with you this session.

Kind regards,

Mrs Fraser

We wrote a poem about poppies during our writing lesson.

‘Poppy Poppy what do you say?
