Happy New Year to all our Primary 1 families!<\/p>\n
We look forward to welcoming all the children back at school tomorrow to what will, hopefully be an exciting term\u00a0 with lots of fun opportunities for learning.<\/p>\n
This week we will begin to learn \u00a0our double sounds. We will continue to focus on using sounds to help us read and write words as well as build on the children\u2019s knowledge of common words.<\/p>\n
In numeracy we will be reinforcing addition \u00a0and begin to subtract numbers within 10. We will continue to focus on using concrete materials to help us with our tricky missing number sums.<\/p>\n
Over the next two weeks we will be talking about Robert Burns. We will be spending time listening to, \u00a0and sharing different Scottish stories, songs, poems and rhymes.<\/p>\n
This term Primary 1 will begin to complete their RSPB wild challenge, which is a whole set of activities aimed at engaging children with nature, providing practical learning opportunities that allow children to experience nature as well as learning about how to help and protect wildlife.\u00a0 We will be\u00a0 working\u00a0 towards our Bronze Award by taking part in the Big School Bird Watch at the end of the month. To find out more about what we will be doing visit the RSPB website.<\/p>\n

Remember if you have any questions or concerns\u00a0 please do not hestitate to get in touch through the school office, by email or at the start or end of the day.<\/p>\n
