This week our homework is all about shapes. We have been learning to identify and talk about 2D and 3D shapes in class so at home we would like you to find and talk about different shapes in food you eat.
Homework should be completed and returned by Friday 4th October.
This week in numeracy we have been learning all about 7 and 8. We have been learning how to form them correctly when we write them and using Numicon to explore different ways to make 7 and 8.
Rosa even spotted a number 7 in our blocks…
In literacy we have been learning how to split words into syllables. We played games to sort pictures and animals into 1, 2, 3 or 4 syllable words.
We had great fun visiting the ECC this week during our afternoon walk…
And we’ve had great fun making a hospital when we were playing with the hospital equipment…
Our block play is improving too. Look at what we’ve been building…
Thank you for completing last week’s pattern homework so well! It was great to see 😊 Please return the homework by Friday 27th September.
This week is all about number formation. Please practise forming the numbers properly. See the photos below for the rhymes we use to help them remember how to form them correctly. You can use additional pages in the jotter to practice more if you would like. Then complete the bottom part by circling all the number fives, discussing all the different ways we can represent numbers.
Have fun!
We have been learning all about the number 4, 5 and 6 this week. We have been learning how to form the numbers correctly when writing them and using the Numicon to investigate different ways to make them.
In literacy, we have been learning about the differences between letters, words and sentences. We loved playing a game using the hula hoops to jump the words.
We are continuing to learn about all the people who can help us in the community. We matched the problems with the correct people who could help. We also had great fun with the costumes!
We were invited to join Primary 3 this week to become scientists. Mrs Withers had given them the task to help save Humpty Dumpty. We had to predict whether the experiments would save him and then we helped them conduct experiments to see what was best to save Humpty Dumpty from cracking. It was great fun! Thanks Primary 3 for inviting us along for a great afternoon!
We have enjoyed the sunshine this week with lots of playing outside too!
The homework above has been given to your child in their new homework jotter. For the next four weeks these will be issued on a Monday and to be returned, completed, by Friday. However as this is a holiday weekend, homework should be returned this week by Thursday 19th September.
This week is all about patterns. Please help your child complete the caterpillars using the correct colours to finish the pattern. You could also go on a pattern hunt around the house or garden to find more patterns! These could be written at the bottom of the sheet or you could email me any photos of patterns you find:
Have fun!

This week our numeracy open morning was a huge success. We loved having our friends and family in to see all our numeracy activities. Look out for our numeracy homework update soon.
In literacy we have been continuing to learn about rhyming words and our name writing…
During our play this week we had a big focus on ‘Block Play’. Look at our amazing creations…
We have continued to learn about patterns and numbers too…
We were so proud of Ifeanyi working hard to complete this jigsaw all by himself. Well done!
Just a reminder that Tuesdays will be our walking days. We hope to go out and explore the village most Tuesday afternoons so please ensure the children have suitable footwear and a waterproof jacket if possible.
Thanks,
Mrs Ferguson
This week we have been continuing to learn about rhyme and work on our fine motor skills and pencil control…
In maths, we have been learning all about the number 0 and 1 and have been practising writing them correctly…
We also created amazing artwork outside using chalk and had great fun role playing using the dressing up costumes…
We had our second visit to the gym hall this week. We have been so independent at getting on our gym shoes.
We have been exploring ways of moving around the gym hall, making sure we use our eyes and ears so that we don’t bump into each other.
We have had great fun with the parachute.
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Stay and Play Afternoon. The children loved showing you how well they have settled into Primary One and all the fun they are having. It was such a lovely afternoon!
Just a little reminder that you are invited along to our open afternoon tomorrow, Tuesday 3rd September, at 2.15pm. We are really looking forward to welcoming you into the class and seeing how well we have settled into Primary 1.
