What a busy week we have had! Everyone has worked hard and behaved well yet again.

Here, you can see that we have been writing sentences dictated to us by the teacher. Using our sounding out and blending skills, we are able to write the words that she says. Some of the words we just know because we have been learning our common words since starting school. Look how neat our writing is too! Everyone has found it hard to write “p” and “y” correctly by hanging them on the line in our jotters – but with lots of practice this week…we think we’ve got it!

 

When we are reading our books, we practice making sentences. By looking for the word with the capital letter and the word with the full stop we can give ourselves a head start. Everyone makes a jumbled sentence, then reads it aloud to the group to check it makes sense.

Now that we can add, we are practicing our skills in different ways – using numicon to make our own adding sums, playing adding games with a friend and using addition apps.

Besides all of this….we are counting down to Christmas. This lucky girl got the golden coin on the 7th!

As if this wasn’t enough, we had an absolutely fabulous time at the pantomime on Thursday. It was bright, dazzling, glittery, filled with singing and dancing and larger than life characters. We are sooooo grateful to Mark Millar for this wonderful Christmas gift. Here is a little picture of everyone in Primary 1 at the panto!
