This week we had great fun doing lots of Halloween activities. We hope you liked our spooky paintings that were sent home 👻🎃🦇

We absolutely loved joining up with Primary 2 to have a fantastic Halloween party!

It was so lovely to see everyone after the holidays and great to be having fun learning in Primary One again. What a busy week we have had!

We have been working on ordering and writing our numbers to 10.  We are also consolidating our first six sounds ‘a,t,s,i,p,n’. We have been saying the sounds, writing them and building words!

This week we will send home these sounds on little flash cards. These should be used at home as often as possible. They can be removed from the treasury tag and children can say the sound and start building words with the cards. Please remember to put them back in bag everyday as new sounds will be added as they are covered in class.

We also made our own spooky Playdough to get us in the Halloween mood and had great fun with some Halloween themed activities 🎃

What a busy term we have had. The children have all settled so well into Primary One and have been working their socks off.

This week we have been focusing on counting and ordering numbers in Numeracy.

In Literacy our new sounds this week were ‘p’ and ‘n’ and we have learned the common words ‘an’, ‘in’ and ‘is’.  Here are some songs to help you practise at home.

In PE this week we had great fun playing different  games such as the Traffic Light Game and Dance Tig.

This was our student teacher, Miss Carr’s last week in school and we wish her the best of luck for the future and thank her for all her hard work.

Have a lovely week off and we will see you again on Tuesday 24th October.

This week in Primary One we have been very busy bees. In maths we have been focusing on writing the numbers 8 and 9 as well as working on counting and ordering numbers to ten.

In Literacy we have been learning the ‘s’ and ‘i’ sounds.  Here are some songs that we have been using in class.

In PE this week we played games with the parachute.

We also listened to different pieces of music and used our bodies to show how they made us feel. This is how we looked during a sad piece of music.

We have had another busy week in Primary One.  In numeracy we have been learning to write 6 and 7.

In literacy we started learning our first two sounds; ‘a’ and ‘t’.  We have been learning to form the letters correctly and identify the sounds in words.

In our People Who Help Us topic we have been learning all about nurses and how they help us.

This week we had to solve a crime! A naughty teddy came into our classroom during lunchtime to steal a special jewel, leaving behind an awful mess! We had to become Police Officers to catch the criminal!

We have also been busy learning about the number 4 and 5 this week.

Also look out in the local newspapers for our beautiful faces as the photographer came in to take our photograph. Here’s a little sneak preview…

This week we went outside to play and use the chalk to create wonderful artwork.

Elleanna brought in a peacock feather to show us.

We were learning about all the people who help us in the school.

We went our first village walk of the year. We listened to the rules to keep us safe when we are walking. Give us a wave if you see us out and about! 😊

In PE we played a fun warm up called The Bean Game.  We had to run on the spot like runner beans, freeze like frozen beans, do star jumps like jumping beans and act all wobbly like jelly beans.  We also had great fun using the parachute.

In numeracy we have been focusing on writing numbers.  This week we learned to write number 2 and number 3.

Apologies for the late post from last week.

Primary One have been so busy this week. We have been focusing on rhyme in literacy and pattern in maths. The children also enjoyed a lovely afternoon up in the ICT room with their buddies.

We have had a busy week in  Primary One. In maths we have been learning to make patterns. In literacy we have been learning about rhyme. We have been doing Cosmic Yoga and we had our first ever PE session in the hall.
