It is the end of another busy week in Primary 1.

In literacy, our focus were ‘q’ and ‘x’. We learned all about the sounds they make and how to form each letter correctly. We used our new sounds when reading and writing words. Here are the links to the Jolly Phonics songs we use to practise.

To practise our sounds, we took part in lots of activities including playdoh, noughts and crosses, bingo, designing a crown for a queen and using the blocks to build her a castle!

In maths, we continued our learning about sharing. We have been exploring halving. We set up our own pizza shop and had to carefully split our pizza into two equal parts. We know that both parts need to be the same size for it to be a half.

We also had a chance to share objects out fairly between two people. This is also called halving. We learned about some pesky pirates who were not being very fair and helped them share their treasure equally.

We have also been continuing to learn about the months of the year and the seasons.

 

This week we have been working on something special ahead of Mother’s Day. In the middle of the week we drew portraits of our Mum and added lots of detail. At pick up time, we put each drawing in the window. We asked our families if they could guess which drawing was ours from all the details we added.

On Thursday and Friday, we worked on some beautiful drawings of flowers in a vase. We used paint sticks in lots of vibrant colours to bring our flowers to life. We then cut these out and stuck them onto a card. If you are a mum of  a Primary 1 who would like a little surprise on Sunday, then look away now!
