Happy New Year! It was lovely to welcome everyone back this week, ready for another exciting term in Primary One.
In literacy, our sounds this week are ‘g’ and ‘o’. We’ve been working hard on our formation, building words, building houses for Goldilocks and the 3 bears, creating octopuses and working in an office.

In numeracy, we have started learning about money. We talked about what money is and why it’s important we learn about it at school. We have been learning to recognise coins to £2. We’ve also been continuing to work on our number formation and counting.
We began to learn about subtraction. We know that when we subtract, the total gets smaller and the amount we have is less.
We were able to read and work out the answer to some subtraction calculations. We especially enjoyed the ‘squashy subtraction’.
We have started our Scotland topic. We talked about what we already know about Scotland and what we would like to find out. We also had great fun listening to lots of Scottish poems when we were voting for our class poem.
We also began our new topic at P.E. We will be developing our gymnastics skills. We began by learning how to move the equipment we need safely. We worked together in small groups to lift the mats and benches into the right place. We were then able to clear away and store the equipment in the right place at the end of our lesson.
