Hi

This week in primary 1 we have had lots of fun. We had our first ever achievement assembly. Well done Ayman for winning the award for working really hard to try and answer lots of questions in class.

In maths we have been focusing on addition by using the part part whole method. This made it easy for us to see that if we split a whole number into parts the total number is still the same when we put it back together again. We have also been learning about 3D objects. We have started to learn about what is the same and different between 2D shapes and 3D objects. We got to make a shape monster with things we could find in the classroom and we tried to make 3D objects with spaghetti and play doh.

In literacy this week we have continued to focus on learning our sounds. We have learnt ue, er and ar this week. You can ask us at home some words that have these sounds in them. We have also spent a lot of time practicing our independent writing. We have tried to sound out words and also write in sentences. Remembering our capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

For our traditional tales topic we were discussing how different evidence can help us learn about the past. We found a suitcase in our classroom that was filled with different object and we were able to work out that the things belonged to Cinderella or Cinduri. Ask us at home how we knew this. Today we made a big Cinderella collage using different materials. It was so fun using all the different materials to make our picture.

Have a great weekend everyone!

See you next week!
