This has been another busy week in Primary 1 with lots of new learning. We were introduced to the ‘th’ digraph which we learned is quite special as it can make two different sounds. You could ask us about this at home.

We took part in lots of  activities to practise this sound. We also continued our work on ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ and learned about summarising. We were able to retell the story, using only the most important details, to a friend. We then were able to sequence the story in the correct order.

In numeracy, we continued to develop our knowledge of number patterns and have been focussing on counting in 2s.

We also began some new learning about ‘Data Handling’ with Miss Kockaya. We went outside on a lovely sunny afternoon to collect some objects which we then counted and sorted. We also began to learn about pictograms. Take a look at some of our pictures!

We have also started to learn about ‘Castles’. We had lots of ‘wonders’ about castles and can’t wait to find out all about them!

We also had a visit from some of the boys and girls from the nursery as part of their transition. We had a great time welcoming them into our classroom and showing them some of our favourite toys and activities.
