Welcome back to P1’s blog! 

Our new sounds this week are ‘th‘ and ‘ng‘. 

      

The action for ‘th‘ is to pretend to be the cheeky clown and stick your tongue out. The action for ‘ng‘ is to put your arms in the air as if you were lifting a very heavy dumb bell.  

      

In maths this week we continued to work on addition. We used cubes and divided circles to practice our adding sums. 

   

To continue with our time work, Miss Bonnar took us on a clock hunt through the school. As you can see we found lots of different types of clocks and watches. 

      

Later on this month we’re taking a trip on a train to Montrose Basin. Miss Simpson has set up an area in her class room. It tells us about all the things we will be doing when we arrive at Montrose Basin and all the things we need to bring in to school prior to our trip. We have a check list that we will tick when we bring in to school all the things we need. We also read a story about a train journey and made a graph showing all the boys and girls that had been on a train and the boys and girls who had not. 

    

we continued to practice writing short sentences in our  thinking books. This time we wrote “I like” sentences. 

Mr Robertson and P6 came down to our class rooms and read us stories. We enjoyed this very much and the P6 boys and girls gave us stickers if we sat nicely and listened well to the stories! 

   

The young footballers from Dundee United came back to our school this week. They were teaching us ball skills.
