Our First Full Week in Primary 1! 

The children have settled in so well and have been busy exploring, learning and making new friends. 

This week, we have been learning all about rhyming words. We enjoyed listening carefully to words and spotting which ones sounded the same at the end. We also had fun thinking of our own rhyming words!

We have been learning more about our names too. The children discovered how many syllables are in their names by clapping them out. This was a great way to develop our listening skills while learning something new about ourselves.

Today, the children were developing their fine motor skills, helping to build the strength and control they will need for writing, cutting and other classroom activities.

We also enjoyed reading The Colour Monster Goes to School. The story gave us a lovely opportunity to talk about starting school, our feelings and all the different emotions we might experience. The children then became very creative and designed their own Colour Monsters, choosing colours and ideas to represent their feelings and personalities.

It has been a busy and exciting week, filled with lots of learning, laughter and creativity. We can’t wait to see what next week brings!

I hope you have a lovely weekend.
