In primary 1 we have started learning our sounds. We talk about the sound  each letter makes and think about words that have that sound in them.

Today we were learning the s sound. Mrs Collins told us a story about a slithering snake. To help us remember the sound we made our own slithering snakes.  🐍

In Primary 1 we are learning how to form our numbers correctly. We were writing number 2 on our white boards. We thought that number 2 looked like a swan on a lake!

We went out into the playground and used natural materials to make the face of the Gruffalo. We worked together to share our ideas about what we could use.

In class last week we talked about what the Gruffalo looked like. We then painted the Gruffalo checking that we had included his orange eyes, the purple prickles on his back and the poisonous wart on his nose!

We had great fun in primary 1 making plasticine Gruffalos. We then created a home for our Gruffalos using sticks, leaves, moss and stones.

We have had such a fun and busy week in P2/1. The new P1s have settled in really well. They have been enjoying their lunches in the dining hall and playing outside in the playground with their friends.

We have been doing lots of learning, inside and outside the classroom. For our Stick Man topic, as well as reading lots of stories, we’ve been collecting sticks and leaves, making model stick men and acting out the story. We’ve also been drawing Stick Man pictures with black pens.

We have also started our number work, counting out lots of items and practising forming numbers.

We’ve also had lots of chats about how we’re feeling, and making plasticine pictures of our faces to show how we’re feeling.

The P1s and P2s have been working so well together – it’s been a great first week!

In Primary 1 we have been building using lots of different materials.

In Primary 1 today we were using plasticine. We had to use our fingers to squash and squeeze the plasticine to make it soft. We rolled it into balls and made different shapes.

Primary 1 enjoyed sharing the story of the Gruffalo.

We talked about what the Gruffalo looked like and drew him with our black pens .

Today in Primary 1 we used number cards to build a number line. We made different numbers using cubes.
