In Room 3, we have had a super week getting to know everybody in our new class and making great friends. We have been working really hard to practise our morning and home time routines, lining up and getting our lunch.

As part of our Literacy learning this week, we have been looking at rhyming. We discussed that the best way to find a rhyming word is think of a word that sounds the same and usually looks similar. We are getting really quick at thinking up rhyming words now. We listened to the poem ‘Humpty Dumpty’ and identified rhyming words. Some of us even used time in our play to build walls and try to balance toy eggs on these. It was a great challenge. We also listened to the ‘When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears’ song. After listening to the song and discussing words that rhymed, we were surprised to find that Goldilocks had come into our room when we were playing outside and left us a note asking us to help her find some items around the classroom! We managed to find all of the objects and had great fun doing so.

We have another busy week next week, with P1 class photographs being taken for the newspaper on Wednesday 28th August. We will also be hosting our ‘Meet the Teacher’ event on Thursday 29th August, where we will provide information about the school and also give an overview of some learning throughout Primary 1. We look forward to welcoming you.

Thank you also to all parents and carers for supporting us throughout this first week. Have a lovely weekend!
