Mrs Fulton

We had had a great day on Friday with our buddies. We made a chair for our bear, went to the library and created our own monster on Teach Your Monster to Read!  We got our own Bookbug bag filled with goodies to read!

You should have received an email with a copy of your child’s pupil profile.  If you have not received it, please let me know.

If you want to comment on the profile, please put a message in your child’s homework diary.

I hope you enjoy looking at the profile and sharing it with your child.

They should be very proud of all the things they have learned so far in primary 1.

Thanks

Mrs Ferguson

Good morning!

I have sent your child’s profile to the email address you gave to the school.  I have had an issue with a couple of the addresses-can you see me tomorrow please if you have not received the profile and I will resend it?

Homework-new reading books. Remember these are swapped on Wednesday so please ensure you child brings their book to school every day.

New sounds-f and b

Wordwalls-continue to practise identified words.  It is also a good idea to ask children to tell you sentences using some of the words they know.

Maths activity

Remember we have our school trip on Wednesday.  Children should bring a packed lunch if you have not requested one from the school.  We will be eating our lunch before we go to Scotland Street School.  Please send in any outstanding permission slips and payment if you have not already done so.

Reading workshop- please return slip if you are able to attend this information meeting.

Best wishes

Mrs Hunter

If you would like to watch the authors reading our Bookbug books, you can find them on the Scottish Book Trust website.

We are looking for cardboard tubes and boxes (again)  to make our roly poly toys please. Lots of tubes needed, all different sizes and only a few cereal boxes please. Your child will have an idea about their own design.  

Thank you to all our buddies and their teachers for making Bookbug Day fun.  We visited Bishopton Library to collect our Bookbug books.  Back in school, our buddies helped us make chairs for our bears (and giraffes), we played hare and tortoise games and drew rhyming pictures. They helped us log on to Teach your monster to read so we can practise our sounds and help with our reading.

You can hear about the books we received and lots of others on the Scottish Book Trust website.

Thank you from Primary 1.

Homework – new sounds f and b

2 books

maths

wordwall

You can use your login details that are on the inside cover of your homework diary to log into Teach your monster to read. Please only play sounds we have learned.

We hope you all enjoyed Bookbug Day.  As well as our visits to Bishopton Library to get our Bookbug books, we did various activities with our buddies.  We made a chair for our bear or giraffe, played a hare and tortoise race game and made up animal rhymes.

You can read more about our books and their authors on the Scottish Book Trust website.

Thank you to our helpers. Without you, we would be unable to make these visits to the library.

Today we logged onto the  Teach your monster to read website.  Once we made our monster we were able to play lots of games with our sounds.  On Monday your child will bring home their homework diary with their login details for this website (or app) and you can play the games at home.

The children brought some great traditional toys and parent’s childhood toys into class today for Show and Tell. We have had great fun learning about the toys, and playing with them in class as part of our toys topic! Today we were learning about toys from different cultures and countries. We started painting our own designs on our Russian dolls.

Really excited about our Bookbug Day with our buddies tomorrow!  We will do ‘Read and Munch’ first thing in the morning with our buddies.  Thought it would be a great idea to read our library books with our buddies before returning them on our visit at 11.15.

Also, a wee reminder to bring in favourite teddy and more junk if you have it for our Bear on a Chair activity that we will be doing in the afternoon.

Can’t wait…..one sleep to go!

Miss Mackay

Your task:

You will research, design and create a presentation to inform younger children how to stay safe on the roads.

Think about –

• Road safety rules

• What to do and not to do on the roads

• How to keep safe on the roads

• What might happen if you are unsafe on the roads

You will work in groups of four with each member having responsibility for an aspect and for presenting that aspect to the class. The winning group will make their presentation at an infant assembly. You will have 5 weeks to complete your presentations.
