Primary One had a fantastic time in the hall yesterday testing out our new gymnastics equipment.

Today the children were given a ‘Home Reading’ book. This is a book to enjoy and read at home. We do not cover these books in class. The children have an opportunity to change their books every Tuesday so please make sure they are returned on Tuesdays. We also talked a lot about looking after our books to keep them in good condition. Therefore books will be sent home in book bags. We do seem to have a few book bags missing so if you have lost it, please send in a note and we can provide a plastic wallet for books to be kept inside.

In class we are learning 2D shapes.  We have enjoyed playing the Shape monster game on Top Marks.  Please click the link below to play the game at home:

Another activity you could do at home is drawing or finding different shapes around the house.  We are learning about a circle, rectangle, triangle, square, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, semi-circle and oval.

Have fun!

We have had a very busy week in Primary One. In Maths we finished off our money topic and started learning about 2D shapes and their properties.

In literacy our sounds this week were the ‘th’ and ‘ch’ digraphs (a digraph is a sound made from two letters).

We also made some beautiful Coronation themed pictures for the Catrine Show.

Congratulations to Demi who won a golden ticket this week and chose her sister to join her at the Golden Table.

Children will bring home personalised Common Word grids today in their book bag.  These are words that your child finds tricky to read and write.  Please practise reading and writing these words at home.  This can be done in a variety of ways, ie reading them aloud, finding them in books, writing them on paper/playdough/chalk outside, whatever suits! New grids will be given when they are confident reading and writing all 6 words on their board.

Thanks again for your support,

Mrs Ferguson
