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!

 

P1 Learning Journey

We haven’t posted on our blog page in a while as we have been so busy with our learning.  Have a look at our learning journey over the last couple of weeks.

Language

The boys and girls have been developing their ability to construct proper sentences by building sentences with individual words, writing about pictures,  sequencing a sentence and copying it.  Well done Primary 1.

We are so lucky to new ipads in school.  The boys and girls were using the ipads to reinforce their ability to identify words that rime.

Olivia is so proud of herself – she completed a wordsearch for the first time on her own.  She found all of the cvc  words.

We were learning all about ‘prediction’ this week using the book ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ by Julia Donaldson.  The boys and girls got to look at the front cover and they were using all the information from that to predict what it was the ladybird heard.  Some wonderful predictions.

Maths

As part of our work on time we have been learning about the seasons.  We focussed on Summer and Winter this week.  The boys and girls had to sort clothes and items.

Ethan was sorting sums that were ‘true’ or ‘false’.  He used his number line to check if the answer was correct or not – fantastic work Ethan.

Kayla is so happy – look at all of her sums.  She used a number line to add 2 numbers together and recorded her answers on a whiteboard.

The boys and girls LOVE playing ‘number stealer’

Topic – Fairyland

The children have been learning about Goldilocks and the 3 bears.  They made their own split pin bears.  They also sequenced the story and made their own zig zag book.
