We had such a good time today for our Hallowe’en fun day.  I thought I was going to have to actually scrape them off the ceiling this morning as they were so excited to come in and show off their costumes.

We started off the morning by watching ‘Room on the Broom’ on the big board. We closed all the blinds and it was just like being at the pictures.

We managed to get some maths and literacy work done even though we were SOOOOO EXCITED for the party. We joined up with Primary 2 and had a party room for dancing and an activity room for chilling out with some spooky activities.

What a busy start we have had to our week in Primary 1! We’ve been using the magnetic letters to help consolidate our sounds, looking after babies, building houses with swimming pools and even managed to fit in some spooky Halloween ghost crafts!

Apologies for the short notice but starting today, our gym days will be Mondays instead of Tuesdays due to a PE student assisting with activities 😊

We have had great fun doing some Hallowe’en activities in maths this week.

We also had so much fun playing with the biggest box ever! We drew all over it and had fun playing inside it too.

We also had great fun building assault courses outside and building roads and ramps with the blocks

We have been consolidating the a,t,s,i,p and n sounds this week and will continue doing this next week too.

Can you believe your amazing P1s have completed their first full term in primary school?  We are so proud of how well they have settled and how hard they have been working.

This week we have been focusing on the “p” and “n” sounds and we put a wee sheet in the book bags that explains the actions for these sounds so you can help to prompt your child at home.

Today was Go Purple Day and the children had great fun completing activities set for us by Primary 6/7.  We went out on a purple teddy hunt; we made giant purple paper chains; we had a purple treasure hunt in the class and we even made a beautiful purple card for the Ayrshire Hospice.

We also had great fun learning through play in the afternoons and the children are becoming so confident when building models and structures.

Just a wee reminder that the Book bags must be brought to school every day, and it’s especially important that the sound cards are in the bags every day too.

We hope you have a lovely week off and we will see you back on Tuesday 19th October.

We are collecting milk bottle for making resources and using as loose parts. If you have any you are due to throw out, please send them into us instead. Just pop them in your child’s book bag (we would really appreciate if they were rinsed out first).

Many thanks,

Mrs Cook and Mrs Ferguson

This week we have been learning the sounds “s” and “i”

Here are some songs that you can listen to at home.

We have put the new “i” sound into their sound card bag to practice at home.

We also had great fun with all our maths activities this week.
