Primary 1 have been developing their literacy and numeracy skills this week. We began our Jolly Phonics programme and have been practising reading and writing the sounds s, a, t and i. We looked for objects beginning with the sounds in our playground and have used sand, shaving foam and chalk to make the letters. We have also practised counting and number formation.
Construction
P1 have had lots of fun with our construction resources this week. Team work and problem solving skills are very important when creating and building models and tall structures.
Travel Agents
P1e love their class travel agency. They have been using their literacy, numeracy and social skills to plan and book holidays for their class mates.
Sing along with us!
Paper Aeroplanes
Some children in P1c wanted to learn how to make paper aeroplanes. Miss McKenna found a video on YouTube to help them. They then tested their flying ability in the open area.

Our First Days
Primary 1 have settled in very well to Our Lady of the Missions. We have made lots of new friends and enjoyed a range of fun activities. We especially like going outside – our playground is very colourful! We are really looking forward to learning lots of new things in the coming year.
