Thank you all for supporting the Primary 6 classes by buying poppies to raise money for the poppy appeal. We enjoyed learning about Remembrance Day and showing our respects.

Earlier this month we went on a welly walk looking for signs of autumn. After our walk we wrote down what signs we found.

Thursday Muddy Movers continues to be a highlight of our week. We have been working on our balancing and building obstacle courses to complete. Please do send in extra sock for children to change into after 🧦

In Maths we have been working hard on our numbers. We have been counting forwards and backwards to 20, identifying missing numbers from a sequence, calculating what one and two more or less equals, learning to read number words up to ten, estimating quantities, counting accurately and much more. Please ask your children to show off their new skills to you at home. We also set up an outdoor numeracy den to complete one of our targets in.

We have also been learning our days of the week, months of the year, seasons and discussing how we spend 24 hours in a day. Take a look at some of our daily routines.

Finally, we are enjoying taking photos by ourselves of things we are proud of in class. Have a look at our achievements 🌟👏

We are now looking forward to a busy December. Please look out for our winter window surprises on the 1st of December ❄️

We had fun celebrating Halloween 🎃.

Thank you Primary 1/2 for all your generous donations for Children in Need.

 

We enjoyed reading the story The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.

Have a look at our lovely art work.

During October we have been very busy working on number, shape, colour and patterns.

We have enjoyed designing and building using the Kapla bricks.

Every Thursday we have lots of fun working together outside during Muddy Movers. Remember to bring dry socks on a Thursday to change into for going home.

Finally we celebrated Halloween with some fun activities 🎃 👻

During Maths week we enjoyed lots of different numeracy experiences.

We learned to estimate. We started in the classroom estimating how many items were in the hoop, then counted them accurately. After that we went outside to estimate lots of different objects around the playground. We recorded our estimates on a table of information.

We also learned about number lines and we were able to build stair case number lines. We had to accurately count out the corresponding number of items.

We also went outside to create our own stair case number lines.

Finally we had lots of fun creating our own Numicon monster!

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. 👏🖊📚
