Another busy week in Primary 1.

We have been doing time in maths and have been learning about ‘O’clock’ times.

On Wednesday we had the World of Work Day and had great fun dressing up as different occupations and thinking about what we would like to be when we grow up.

We were learning the ‘oa’ digraph in literacy and had fun playing with the foam and making boats.

On Friday we had our last transition visit with the children from the ECC.

The new Numeracy task has been sent home today called Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.  Please complete and return by Friday 27th May.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Look at our amazing Crazy Hair!

Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’.  This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class.  The topic will change depending on the focus for that term.  This term we will be having a World of Work day so the title of the talk will be ‘When I grow up, I would like to be…’.   At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk.

Some ideas to include in their talk might be:

• What job would they like to do when they are older?
• Why they would like the job?
• What skills or equipment they might need for the job?
• A picture/drawing/poster about their chosen job

The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg Monday 6th June. More details will be given shortly (please check Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.

We look forward to hearing about what they would like to be!

We had great fun this week in Primary 1.  Here are a few pictures from our busy week.

We really enjoyed going on our walk around the village.

We continued our work on patterns in maths and tried to make some more complex patterns this week. We also started to look at number patterns such as counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.  Perhaps you could practice this at home.

We had great fun playing out in the Imagination Station with Mrs Cooper.  We have turned it into a Police Station and the children were exploring different ways of measuring.

We worked hard on our dictation this week, using our sounds and key words to write sentences.

We had another lovely visit from the ECC children who came to see where they will be working when they are in P1 next year. It was great fun playing with them and showing them all our lovely resources.

Finally, we would like to say a HUGE congratulations to Logan B who won second place in the Catrine Show Art competition. We were so proud of him! Well Done, Logan!

Maths Homework:  Pairs of socks

This week in class we are talking about patterns ( as well as the ‘ck’ sound in sock) so the activity is all about counting in 2s.   Please return Scrapbooks by Friday 13th May.

We also enjoyed singing along to this video today in class:

Reading Books

New reading books have been issued today.  Please enjoy reading them at home and return to school by Friday 13th May.

Thanks again,

Mrs Ferguson

We had a short but fun-filled week in Primary One this week.

On Tuesday it was Mrs Ferguson’s very special birthday so we made her cards and a beautiful banner to surprise her. It was also Riley’s birthday so he got the first piece of the yummy chocolate cake was got for Mrs F!

In Maths this week we have been continuing to learn about symmetry and started learning about pattern too.
