Hello 🙂

We have had a super busy week in p1a!

For a Literacy Counter, we have been reading and recognising our CVC words. We are getting very good at this!

We have also been having a go at building our own sentences (remembering a capital letter and a full stop at the end!) and building our CVC words.

We are continuing to have a go at making doubles. We are very good with our doubles up to 10! We have been loving singing along to our doubles song in class.

A blue counter task this week was some subtraction board games. We have been using cubes to help us figure out the answer to the calculations.

We have been continuing to practise telling the time. We are able to recognise ‘o’clock’ times and have even challenged ourselves this week to begin to recognise when it is half past.

In our Atrium we have been exploring with magnets. We were searching for magnetic objects in our sand tray. 

We loved seeing and playing with our common words games today. There were so many wonderful ideas 🙂 Keep playing these at home for extra practise!

 

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

 

Hello!

Here are some of the things we’ve been learning in Primary 1 this week:

We learned the diagraph ‘sh’ this week. We practised our formation of this and had a go at reading some words with the diagraph in it.

In Numeracy this week we have been learning to tell the time. We had a go at reading O’Clock times on an analogue and digital clock.

In our Outdoor Learning we were building Wildlife Homes. We worked as part of a team to gather different objects and to think about how we could build our house for the animals that might be sheltering from the cold and rain this time of year.

We started our Mythical Creatures topic this week and have been discussing Dragons. We talked about what a legend is and had a look at different photos of dragons looking at the different features.

We even made our own fire-breathing dragon face collage!

In Art this week we talked about our Primary Colours. We made a collage of circles using these colours.

This week in Science we started to learn about the Sun and Moon. We know that the sun gives us daylight and when it is night time we see the moon.

 

Have a lovely and restful weekend 🙂
