Welcome back to our blog!

We have been busy during Literacy this week!

We listen out for the initial sound in words.

We continue to use our blending skills to help us to read.

We love reading our story world books together!

We continue to practice identifying our common words and story world words. We are now trying to use them in sentences!

We are becoming so much more confident in our writing! It is amazing!

In Numeracy and Maths this week we continue to consolidate our learning of various concepts.

We explored measure!

Number doubles!

Data handling!

Patterns!

As well as addition. We use different strategies to help us with addition such as counting using our fingers, using a number line and counting on in our heads.

On Tuesday, we arrived at school to find an elf in our classroom! He brought with him lots of Christmas decorations for us to decorate our classroom. We were so excited!

Using what we know about data handling, we gathered ideas for what we should call him and then took a vote using tally marks. We then displayed our information in a bar chart and the name with the most votes was Jingle!

Every day this week we have been so excited coming in to find out what adventures he has been up to during the night! We have our very own ‘Elf Adventures’ booklet to record all of his crazy behaviour!

This week, we read the story ‘Stick Man’. During our outdoor time we went to the woodland to find our very own stick men. We then decorated them and created our own ‘Stick Man’ stories.

This week we have been looking at how to keep fit and healthy!

We have been exploring all of the food groups, discussing ways we can keep active and we have been sorting food in to whether they are healthy or not. We know that we are allowed our favourite treats sometimes as long as we are eating lots of healthy foods too!

We made our very own delicious fruit kebabs! We had to follow the recipe very carefully. We used lots of descriptive words such as chop, peel, slice and cut to describe what we had to do to each piece of fruit. It was lots of fun!

 

Fantastic work Primary 1! I wonder what Jingle will get up to over the weekend …
