In Primary 1 this month we have enjoyed learning about colours in French. We read the story ‘Katie and the Sunflowers’ and together with the Primary 2’s made a big sunflower display.

Primary 1 were visited by their primary 5 buddies who had designed a ‘Mr Men’ book to read with the Primary 1s. Everyone enjoyed reading the stories and the Primary 1s and 5s then worked together to create their own Mr Men character.

The boys and girls have all settled really well into Primary 1 and have enjoyed exploring the classroom and making new friends. I will be able to post photos of the children’s faces for our next blog post.

We’ve begun to learn our sounds and have been learning how to work independently on our ‘targets’.  We’ve focused on writing our names, and drawing about stories we’ve been reading together.

We created a class charter and talked about ways we can make sure the class is a happy place for everyone. We all contributed excellent ideas.

We have  a class bear we’ve named Rosie. We’ve played lots of games with Rosie and taken her on a tour of the school. She’s started to go home with different members of the class at the weekend and we’re all enjoying reading what she’s been up to!
