Over the last few weeks we have explored pattern, numbers to 20 and Identifying 2D Shapes.

We have been very busy.

Some of our targets are called Funky Fingers, this helps us work on our fine motor skills. Building up the muscles 💪 to be excellent writers. Keep posted for some more Fun Funky Fingers tasks.

On a Friday we learn our  Trick Words. This involves working on our sight vocabulary and trying to remember the words as we can’t blend the sounds. This is why they are tricky words!  So far we have covered the words I, the, he, she, me, we, be, was, are and all. Next Friday we will learn to and do.
We try to learn the words by making them, saying them and writing them.

Please remember to bring in your tricky words tub on a Friday so we can put in your new words.

Have a look at  some photos from our first few days in Primary 1.

We have been learning about story telling. We understand the terms character and setting. We have been drawing our stories and then telling them to an adult who wrote it down for us. We hope you enjoy some of our stories. 👏🖊📚

Yesterday we were lucky enough to see the NHS Spitfire flyover Barrhead. We were all so excited to see it, give it a big wave, cheer and shout our thanks 🌈💜👏

Well done to Orlaigh and Cameron who were awarded with ‘Fairness Achievements’ this month.
They have demonstrated kindness and fairness within the classroom and playground since starting Primary 1.
Well done 👏👍🌟

I am sure you will have heard how much fun we are having during our Thursday Muddy Mover sessions 🌳🌿🍁☀️💦

The children are independently getting waterproofs and wellie boots on before each session and trying hard to hang up their own waterproofs and wellies afterwards.

They have been using crates and tyres to build obstacle courses, exploring the rain water that gathers in our playground, having fun digging in the mud, finding lots of mimi beasts and exploring lots of different resources.

Please could all children bring a spare pair of dry socks to change into after Muddy Movers on a Thursday. Children are also welcome to bring in their own waterproofs.

Hi Primary One,

The attachment  below is a short video to help you find your Google Classrooms.  The children in Primary One will have two Google Classes.  One will be used in class and to help support homework in the day to day running of classwork. The second Google Class is only to be used if you are off school related to COVID-19 .

There will be lessons posted daily for Literacy, Numeracy and Health.

Thanks

Miss Galloway

During our taster days we explored the technique of bubble printing to make a beautiful class rainbow. We have also been working on our fine motor skills to control lines. Just have a look at these amazing 😉 rainbows.

During literacy targets we have been learning the sound and formation of the letters (s) and (a).  We practised identifying some Tricky Words by scanning stories, building the words and playing memory games.

In mathematics we have explored pattern through the story Elmer. We had lots of fun making and continuing patterns.
On Friday we had our first experience of Primary 1/2’s Google Classroom.  Next week we will get a letter explaining how to access this classroom at home.

The children have had a wonderful start to Primary 1 and we are all very proud of them.

Over the last few weeks we have explored our classroom and discovered lots of new games to play.
We have worked really hard on some black line ✍️ drawings and counting numbers up to 20.
