We would love to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2024 ! (when it arrives)

In advance of our return to school in January, here is a copy of some ideas to support your child next term. Follow the link above to see our January ‘Have a Go’ board.

January have a go boards!

In Primary 1 our Numeracy focus in January was on addition, counting in 2s,5s and 10s and also on odd/even numbers.

Our addition took the form of adding items, using our adding snake, number line work then written calculations. We also  used these skills in our play throughout  the classroom.

This month our focus is now moving on to subtraction. We start with songs about taking away-

The children will then start adding up actual items . Adding concrete materials. We will then start to subtract using the large and small number lines before moving to written calculations.

 

Please take time to revise all the alphabet letter sounds covered with your child over the recent weeks and months . This revision really helps as we move on in our reading.

In Primary 1 most of our pupils should  now recognise and can say the initial sounds of the letters of the alphabet- phonemes. We are introducing double sounds this week, digraphs. Our sound this week is sh. 

Here is a song and story below to support your child’s learning at home.

Thanks

 

 

This week is children’s mental health week. We shall be talking to the children about relationships with friends and loved ones and how they help our wellbeing. Please enjoy the story  below with your child and chat about it.

In Primary 1 we shall be using the book-

 

 

Primary 1 have been learning all about Robert Burns in January. The children have also been learning Scottish poems, songs and dances. We all had a special celebration for Burns birthday. The children made caramel shortcake and toasted Rabbie Burns with Irn Bru. We had a lovely celebration and lots of fun,

Primary 1S, Primary 1L & Primary 1/2H would like to invite you all to our class assembly in the Barony Hall on Monday 14th of November at 1.20. We look forward to seeing you there.

Hi,

Just a wee reminder to all parents to please put your child’s name on absolutely everything they bring to school. Could we politely ask all parents to check that the  jacket your child has is their own. Sadly, one parent is missing a NIke jacket and the name is written on the label. If you have it at home by mistake, please let us know. Thanks so much 🙂

Our focus this term is on the numbers to 10. Please take time to practice reciting them and looking for them as you are out and about with your child. We are also looking at counting objects to 10 over the next few weeks.

 

I will send home a number line for you to use with your child to play games together.

Thanks 🙂

Homework – Primary 1- all classes

At home, could you please practice the sounds and actions each week for the letters stuck in your child’s blue book? Also, remember to practice reading the words at the back of your child’s blue jotter. Please can you ensure your child returns their folder each day in their bag. Many thanks.

Please click on your child’s class link at the top of the page to see new information pertaining to only your child’s class. General information will be posted on this main page. Many thanks.

Our PE days are Wednesday and  Friday. Please ensure your child has shorts and a pair of gym shoes on PE days. It would be very helpful if you could write your child’s name on all their clothing. All jewelry needs to be removed including earrings.  If a child has just had their ears pierced then they will need to sit out until the earrings can be removed. Many thanks.
