Read the comments below to see our highlights of the week…

In numeracy primary 1 are thinking about more than.

We had to make two towers and think about which tower had more cubes in it and then we had to work out how many more were in the taller tower.

We had to make a tower that was taller than our pencil. We had to work out how many cubes high was our pencil and then think about how many more cubes were in the tower.

Today we were learning about  “b”. We thought of lots of “b” words such as basket, banana, biscuits and bikes. We enjoyed reading the story of Mr Bump and made our own buzzy bee to take home to help us learn our new sound.

Learning about “f”

Michael the puppet had drawn some pictures. We had to guess what the picture was and what sound linked each picture for example there was a picture of a clown…mmmmmm it was a  “funny face”. We made f words on our whiteboards and drew and wrote words that start with f like fan and fin.

We shared stories about a fox and made a fox to take home to help us learn our new sound.

Primary 1 have been talking about showing kindness to others and have begun to think about ways we can do this. We are going to try and be kind and helpful to  each other in the classroom, cloakroom and in the playground.

We think it is important to speak nicely to each other using kind voices and words. We are going to try hard to remember to say please, thank you and excuse me when working together.

We wanted to do something to make each other happy, so today we each made a friendship bracelet for someone else in the class.

Threading carefully to make our bracelets.

Saying thank you to our friends.

We were very pleased with our bracelets.
