Welcome back to our blog! In the run up to Christmas we have continued to work extremely hard.
Literacy
We were creating Christmas cards for our family using different materials. We were using our phoneme mat to help us sound out tricky words!
We are becoming much faster at recognising all of the different phonemes. We are creating words with different sounds and identifying the correct picture to match the correct sound.
With our magnetic letters and on the eazel, we are practising how to read and spell out our common words such as my, me, the, said and can.
We have created a rhyming word bank with words that end in -an!
Using our imagination, we were writing a story using the props at the tuff spot. We remember to use finger spaces and a full spot when writing sentences.
Here we have done an amazing job at creating a word bank with different phonemes.
Ben was doing a fantastic job at creating words with ‘oo’ sound!
As a group, we were decoding tricky words with phonemes. We were reading, writing and drawing the correct picture which matched the word.
Numeracy and Mathematics
We have been learning about number bonds and what they are! We have been using our problem solving skills to create different sums to make a number i.e. number bonds for 5 include 5+0, 3+2, 2+3.
We are becoming much faster at adding two numbers together as we are putting the bigger number within our head and counting on.
We have also revisited repeating patterns but this time they have been more complex to complete!
In Measurement and Weight, we have been exploring different objects to decipher which one is the heaviest and lightest. We have also been using non-standard units to measure items using cubes, paper clips.
French
We were exploring different ways to greet people in French. We created a Greeting poster showing our self saying Bonjour or Salut to our friend using speech bubbles.
Outdoor Learning
We wanted to create a balancing beam to balance across to different areas. We made sure it was safe by making it secure and steady.
Harry is exploring his sounds outdoors!
We were measuring and weighing different objects outdoors. We know that if both sides are the same, it is equal!
We created an amazing den using different materials and were charging our friends to enter it!
Christmas Fun!
We have been incorporating Christmas through everything that we do, whether it is writing Christmas stories, completing tricky art work or answering challenging Christmas themed maths games. It has been so exciting and fun!
Our Christmas party was amazing! We got to play many party games, sing songs and dance with our friends. The most magical part of they day was when we got to meet Santa!
We can’t believe how fast Primary 1 has past by since the beginning of August 2018. We have created many memories already from our very first day of school, from writing our first word and reading our first word! And who can forget our amazing nativity we completed as a whole year group!
We will come back from our holidays refreshed and ready to create more fantastic memories in 2019!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone ☺!
