What a busy week we had last week. Firstly, a big Well Done to all our Stars of the Week and an extra Well Done to our Dojo pupils of the week, Braxton and Allan!
We continued learning new sounds. This week was ‘c’ and ‘k’ so some activities included us constructing castles, creating cards and designing crowns for kings! Remember to keep going over the sounds in the book bags.
We also had lots of fun celebrating Children In Need on Friday with lots of activities in class. And we are continuing to learn about toys so we had fun investigating some ‘old’ toy spinning tops.
This week we have been investigating ice and water and have LOVED using syringes to measure (and skoosh!)
To celebrate Scottish Book Week, we have been enjoying reading the books from our Bookbug packs (which children will bring home shortly) Today we read ‘Arlo, The Lion Who Couldn’t Sleep’ and enjoyed creating our own ‘Arlo’ collage lions and painted ‘Owl’.
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 are learning all about Toys so the talk is called ‘My Favourite Toy’. At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk all about their favourite toy.
Some ideas to include in their talk might be:
What is their toy called?
Who/where/when did they get their toy?
Why is it special to them?
What games do they like playing with their toy?
Draw a picture of their toy to show during their talk
The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg 29th November. More details will be given shortly about which day that week your child will be giving their talk. They can bring any pictures or toy in from home on that day.
Please find the next numeracy maths homework sheet in your child’s Scrapbook (in book bag) This week is ‘The Number Five’: How many ways can you show five or find the number 5? You’ll find lots of ideas on the sheet. This is due back in school by Friday 12th November. Please remember you can email any pictures of the work to us at: eajill.ferguson@glow.sch.uk and eaerin.cook@glow.sch.uk. We look forward to seeing what you find!
This week we have been learning the ‘r’ sound so we used playdough to make our own rusty robots 🤖
We also made the most of the sunshine this afternoon and played with the loose parts. We found some wiggly worms inside the tyres and made a new safe home for them.
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!
What a start we have had to Maths Week Scotland in Primary 1 today! We have been very busy learning all about numbers to 10 and had great fun in the afternoon designing and constructing models using the large Polydrons. Please look in the Book Bag for some ideas of activities you could complete at home during our Maths Week.
