After two days away in the Education Office, Mr Cook was really looking forward to getting back to Primary 1 today.

As Mrs Caddell said in the letter sent home today, tomorrow is our BIG MOVE from our classroom next to the Nursery into another classroom in the school.

It’s really exciting as we’ll be next to the other P1 and P2 children, and it will make break-time, lunch-time, and going to the toilet much easier.

Mr Cook is really looking forward to the new classroom – and we will hopefully be in it by tomorrow afternoon!

Miss Shimmield will meet you in the line tomorrow!

Mr.Cook

What a busy day today was. Mr Cook will not be in class the next two days, Mrs Sutherland will be in class instead.

ART

This term, it’s time to get arty. To save our school clothes from getting paint on them, we’re wondering if you could bring in an old t-shirt/shirt which can be put on when we’re painting (Adult’s shirts/t-shirts can be great for this also, as they act as a painting apron). Our first art lesson will be tomorrow, Tuesday 27th August 2013.Thank you!

SHOWING

Each Friday afternoon, before assembly, we’ll be doing ‘showing’. This is where your child can bring along something – maybe a toy or a photograph – and talk about it in-front of the class for 1 minute. Here is this term’s ‘Showing Rota’. Instead of bringing an item, they might just want to talk about something they like to do. We use showing to build your child’s confidence when talking within the classroom.

READING

Reading homework begins this week. Please look inside the front cover of your child’s book, you will find questions which you can discuss. The purpose of reading the wordless books is for your child to re-tell you the story they’ve heard in school. This should be returned to school tomorrow.

See you all Thursday,
Mr.Cook

What a quick week this week was – Mr Cook can’t believe that it’s Friday evening already. By the looks of things, all of the boys and girls had a great day with Miss Shimmield.

We’ve got PE first thing on Monday morning. Remember, you can wear your school uniform under your clothes. It might make it a bit easier for getting changed in the morning.

We’ve been very busy learning our sounds – this weekend – remember to practise ‘s’, ‘a’, ‘t’ and ‘i’.

Click the picture of the ducks to hear the ‘5 Little Ducks’ song – it’s been our favourite so far!

Look forward to seeing you all on Monday!
Mr.Cook

Today we got our home/school diary home. We have to practise the ‘s’ and the ‘a’ sounds and actions at home.

Look at the pictures of our classroom:

See you tomorrow!
Mr.Cook

Hello P1! What a fantastic day we had today.

We really enjoyed learning about the ‘s’ sound. Geraldine the Giraffe helped us find words using the ‘s’ sound, and we learned a song and actions too. Maybe the boys and girls would like to show mums and dads at home.

Mr Cook is looking forward to another super day tomorrow!
