This week Primary 1C have decided on their first IDL topic. We will be learning about The Seaside and we have already chosen to learn about shells, sea creatures, why the water has waves and also why it is salty. We are also interested in treasure and using a metal detector to find some.

We have enjoyed making playdough, creating crowns, rings and handbags in our creative area and building in our construction area.

   

In Literacy and English we have been working hard matching words that rhyme. We have enjoyed identifying rhyming objects, matched the rhyming  word to the correct rhyme house and played games to consolidate our learning.

   

In Numeracy and Mathes, we have continued learning to recognise numbers 1-20 and practised sequencing numbers and  identifying the missing number. We have also looked at the number before and after and used the number fans in class for the first time.

   

   

   

In Health and Wellbeing we are developing our Growth Mindset. We spoke about not giving up when we are stuck and we used our jackets to help us learn about this. We worked with our partners and helped each other if we found it difficult to get our jacket on. Mrs Agnew and Miss Regan did make it extra challenging by turning our sleeves inside out 🙂

   

   

   

We also had great fun outdoors this week! Our kitchen was open again with lots of tasty mud pies and ice-cream on the menu. We also displayed some great problem solving and building outdoors this week too.

   

   

    

   

   

Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our ‘Meet the Teacher’ event on Wednesday evening. The SWAY presentation will be e-mailed to all parents and carers to ensure those who were unable to attend do not miss any information.

The children have worked extremely hard on their self-portraits and many parents/carers enjoyed looking at them. We wanted to share our beautiful art with all parents/carers 🙂

What a wonderful and busy week we have had in Primary 1C. The sun has been shining and we have had a lovely time outside in our garden and Muga.

This week we have continued with Phonological Awareness and have been learning about syllables. We have also practised making our names with magnetic letters and scrabbles tiles. On Wednesday we told Mrs Agnew or Miss Regan an imaginative story of our choice and they wrote it down. Next week we will act out some of our stories!

We have continued with numbers 1-10 and have been enjoying different activities to help us count along with recognising the number as a numeral or a word.

We have continued to explore the areas in our classroom.

   

   

   

Our story of the week has been The Colour Monster. We have been learning about different feelings such as happiness, sadness and fear. We discussed times where we felt different feelings and drew pictures of them in our jars. We also painted a Colour Monster to show how we were feeling.

On Monday we went to the Multipurpose room and enjoyed some drama games. We played a game called ‘Who’s Shoes?’ and took turns to act out a person. There were firemen, paramedics, racing car drivers, farmers and artists!

    

On Friday morning we enjoyed the sunshine in our Primary 1 garden. We enjoyed exploring the areas and lots of us decided to create our own garden area with the stones.

   

   

   

   

    

We played parachute games in the Muga on Friday. We were incredibly excited trying to keep the ball on the parachute and loved playing cat and mouse. There was lots of teamwork involved!

   

   

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have had a great first full week in Primary 1 and have all settled in really well. We have been learning about routines in the school and getting to know each other. We have lots of different areas in our classroom along with the garden and have enjoyed time exploring these areas.

Here are some pictures of us exploring our new classroom.

   

   

    

    

We enjoyed some time on the activity trail.

   

   

    

This week we have been learning about the numbers 1-10. We have enjoyed different activities to help us count.
