This week we have been continuing to settle into Primary One. We have been looking at rhymes and investigating numbers. We also finished our class charter display.

We also had a fantastic ‘stay and play’ afternoon. Thank you so much to everyone that managed to come along and see how well we have settled into Primary One…

This week we also looked at the rhyme ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. We had a chat about the word ‘wonder’ and then we talked about all the things we are wondering about. We had lots of exciting wonders like “where do you find a rainbow?” “are unicorns real?” and “how did stars get into space?”. We will be trying to find out the answers to some of our interesting questions over the next few weeks!

In the gym hall, we practised listening carefully to the rules of  games such as ‘cat and mouse’ and ‘washing machine’.  We had lots of fun with the parachute!

And here is a little sneak peak of our class photo. Look at how smart they all look 😊

What a busy first full week we have had. The children have been getting know lots of new routines and settling into school really well.

In literacy we have started to focus on pencil control, writing our names and drawing ourselves.

In numeracy we have been exploring numbers to 10 by playing lots of games.

Through play we have been exploring the toys and different areas in class and in the playground.

We have started talking about the rules in class and began creating our class charter. We are discussing this through nursery rhymes so this week we have looked at ‘Mary had a little lamb’ and ‘Humpty Dumpty’.

On Thursday, we also had a chance to visit the gym hall. We practised moving around the hall safely and listening carefully to instructions. We also had a chance to  practise changing into our gym shoes.

Have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday for another busy week!
