Our new sound today was “m”. Michael had been enjoying some yummy milkshake for breakfast so to help us remember our sound we made our own “milkshake”.

Chocolate or strawberry?

P1  have worked very hard to create this  display in the corridor. We painted paper plates to make the body of our robins and covered them in red and brown tissue. We think our little robin “Robin Red” will like them!

This week we have been sharing stories and learning facts about hedgehogs, Mrs Collins showed us a photo of the two hoglets (baby hedgehogs) that she leaves special hedgehog food out for every evening. We had great fun making our hedgehog spines  by printing with card dipped in paint.

Our new sound today was “r” and Michael showed us his very ripped bed time blankie,  that his naughty puppy had been playing with. It is now a ripped rag!

Mrs Collins read us a true story about a little boy who was afraid of the dark that ended up becoming an astronaut! To help us remember our sound we made some colourful rockets.

Today in primary  1  we were talking about what makes us angry and how our body reacts. We thought about what we could do to help us calm down and get rid of angry feelings. We used our peace button (belly button) to help us breathe in and out slowly, helping us to relax and keep calm.  Our plasticine faces show what happens to our mouths, eyes and eyebrows if we are angry.

We were examining different leaves from the trees around the school. We had to think about the colour, size and shape of the leaves. We then had to try and match them to the leaves on our sheet. A lot of the trees in the playground are quite young so we went on to the primary 7 balcony to look across at some of the older trees in the park to compare their size.

Today we were identifying sounds and then trying to build small words with a partner.

Forming Letters

Finding Sounds

Building Words

In primary 1 we have been thinking of different ways to make numbers for example, number 6 could be made with a 3 and a 3 or a 2 add 2 add 2.

We have been working hard at forming our numbers. We have little rhymes that help us for example, round the tree, round the tree that’s how we make a number 3. We talk about what the numbers look like, for example number 2 looks like a swan and number 1 stands up tall like a soldier. We use our number line to check that our numbers are facing the correct way.

Our sound today was “h”. Michael the puppet showed us his lovely new hat for school. Mrs Collins told us a story about Michael trying his best in the hopping race on sports day. We all went into the playground to hop with Michael! To help us remember our new sound we made some colourful hats. We had great fun cutting and sticking different types of paper.

We used our black pens to add detail to our Elmers. We then joined them together to make a parade of elephants.
