A great start to school for our P1s. They have settled into school really well, can follow instructions and have been learning about our school rules. It’s good to be green. They have all been successful learners. They confidently take part in all school life.

Both classes have been looking at our Oxford Reading Tree stories again in the last week and have been learning all about Mum, Dad, Kipper, Biff, Chip and Floppy. They have loved the stories At School and The Lost Teddy.

We have been learning more Jolly Phonics sounds and so far have learned 25! We keep practising these sounds all the time so we can remember them and use them when we start to read and write.

We used the microscope to look closely at conkers and fir cones and took pictures of them. We have made lots of art work eg. paper art trees and paintings of trees to help us remember about the signs of Autumn.

During play we have practised writing our numbers. We have continued to make patterns and look for shapes in the world around us.

Lastly, on the last day of term, we used Active Expressions for the first time. We used these to see how well we had remembered our numbers and shapes this term.

Thank you to all P1s and parents and carers for a fantastic first term. Your support is greatly appreciated.
