We have had a very busy time in Primary 1 during the month of May. We have worked very hard to learn new skills and we have had lots of fun too!

In RME we have been learning all about Mary Our Mother and listening to lovely hymns about Mary. We have been praying the Rosary together and have enjoyed learning how to do this with our friends. We have been learning about how special and unique we are and talked about our qualities and talents.

During our maths activities we have been learning how to tell o’clock time. We are all able to read analogue clocks and can tell our teacher when it is an o’clock time. We have learned about symmetry and finding a line of symmetry. We enjoyed going outdoors to find symmetry in our environments. In our number work we have continued to learn more about numbers to 20 and can read, write and order the numbers. Brilliant work Primary1!

Our class have worked very hard in literacy to learn all of the alphabet sounds since starting school and now we have more hard work to do in learning phoneme sounds. We really enjoy using our magnetic boards to help us to learn the phoneme sounds and have been text detectives in looking for our sounds in our books, in school and at home. In our reading we are beginning to blend our sounds to read short words. Some of us have learned to read all on our own! Fantastic work! We got to go up to the top floor of the school to visit the school library. Some of us thought it was very high up but we really enjoyed choosing a book and hearing a story from our teacher.

To improve our health and wellbeing have been getting ready for our Sports Day and have been practising all of the skills that we will need for our big day. It was so much fun trying out all of the equipment and being in teams with our friends.

We have taken part in health and eco week this week. Here are photographs of some of the things we have taken part in so far.
