Welcome to Primary 1/2s Class Blog 👋

Important information:

– PE kit required on a Monday, please make sure you child has indoor shoes/sand shoes, shorts and T-shirt all labelled with their name and kept in a PE bag which can be kept on their peg. Children will be encouraged to bring PE kits home over holiday periods for a wash.

– Muddy Movers on a Wednesday, please supply welly boots with your child’s name on them and if they have their own waterproofs then please make sure it’s also labelled with your child’s name and kept in a labelled plastic bag. Don’t worry if you don’t have waterproofs we have some in school which children can use.

Homework – just now Primary 1 children only have phonics homework. Each sound should be written at least 5 times and a picture of an object beginning with the sound should also be drawn on the same page. Please complete this on the day issued and return to school the next day.

August Learning 🌟👏

During Literacy targets we have been learning sounds and letter formation for the letters s, a, t and i.  It is really important to revisit these on a daily basis.

We worked on our writing skills by over writing a sentence that Mrs Brown scribed for us.

During our Numeracy targets we have been counting forwards and backwards within 20, working on correct number formation 0 – 10 and counting how many objects in a set.

Over the first few weeks we have explored lots of different art techniques. We explored clay in the classroom and outside during Muddy Movers then we used it to make an Amazing Eight spider, we painted flowers for our number line flower pots, made a sparkly collage Rainbow Fish, printed symmetrical butterflies and after learning about our skeleton we used cotton buds to make our own skeleton picture.

We have also enjoyed our first Muddy Movers Wednesday, it was lovely and sunny. Please remember to bring in your welly boots if you haven’t already done so and waterproofs if you have them (we do have waterproofs that children in Primary 1 can use).

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