Another busy week…

Literacy

This week the children were developing their ability to draw a detailed picture to match a short story.  If they wanted to they could ‘have a go’ at copying the sentence too. Lots of detailed pictures and some wonderful letter formation!

Nathim and Poppy were letter detectives and used the magnifying glasses to search for some of their initial sounds in the books.

It’s been another busy week in Primary 1.  We went to the ICT suite for the first time this week.  We were learning to name the different parts of the computer and why it is important to have a password.

The children had to use the mouse to point and click in order to navigate their way around the Cbeebies site.

 

Outdoor Learning – We’re going on a Bear Hunt

Mrs McVey and the boys and girls enjoyed getting outdoors and re-enacting the famous story ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’.  They used different parts of the playground and their imagination to bring the story to life – the sand pit was the mud, the playground was the river, the bamboo was the forest and the bubbles were the snow. Mason was our bear – I’m so glad we found him 🙂 what a wonderful afternoon we had!

 

Welcome to Primary 1

Welcome to Primary 1

 

This is the first blog post from Primary 1 this session.  We have been very busy settling into the rules and routines of school that we haven’t uploaded any pictures or posts on to our blog page.

We have selected a few pictures to upload to show our journey through Term 1.

Learning Through Play

The children enjoyed learning to write their names and using mirrors to draw themselves.

Synthetic Phonics

This year we are discussing with the children where the sound is made in our mouth when we learn a new letter and its sound.  We have used jam torches and mirrors to help see where the sound is made in our mouth.

We will post updates of our journey through Primary 1 on our Blog page so keep your eyes peeled 🙂

Please leave some comments for us to read.
