Literacy

Word Wall and Sound Card

• I have included a laminated sheet in everyone’s homework folder this week. The sheet has all the common words from this year and all the sounds your child is learning in class.

• Can you time yourself to read the words? How long did it take you?

• Please practice going over the sheet at home as often as you can.  If your child finds this difficult, then help them to read the words they can.  Count up how many they managed and try to better their score each time.

• This weeks new sound is ‘wh’ as in whip, wheel, whiskers.

Reading Book

• Can you find any ‘wh‘ words?

• Can you find any words with sh ch or th ?

 Fairytale of the Week:

Our Fairytale of the week is Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

We have set up the tuff spot in the class with lots of props and masks for the children to retell the story.

Ask your child to retell you the story at home. Who were the characters in the story? Where was the story set?

PE

We are now attempting to change into our gym kit every time we have gym.  Please ensure your child has a change of shoes for inside and gym kit.  Thank you 

Mr Green found a set of keys… the boys and girls thought they might open the gate over the school pond!

Primary 1 found lots of interesting insects and loved exploring the wildlife in the playground and pond in the senior playground.

After playtime Primary 1 we’re using the keyboards in ICT to write their names. They were able to type their name multiple times, leave a finger space and take a new line. Fantastic work Primary 1.

This morning Mr Green was very impressed with Primary 1. The boys and girls showed  their skills with numberbonds.  The boys and girls also were adding  up 2 and 3 digits to make a new number.
