WELCOME TO PRIMARY 1!
Everyone has settled really well into Primary 1, making new friends and learning new class routines. We have had a busy first few days and are looking forward to lots more wonderful learning and achievements throughout the year.
Below are just a few reminders for our class…
- Please ensure all items of clothing/lunch boxes/water bottles are named clearly.
- Children must have a change of shoes for indoor use, these can be kept in school in the cloakroom area.
- Water is encouraged in our water bottles.
- Our PE Days are Wednesday and Friday.
- Woods Day – Mondays. Please wear clothing and shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy!
- Homework will be issued on a Monday and should be returned on Friday. Instructions for homework and reminders of any weekly events will be on Google Classroom on a Monday and all materials and resources for homework will be in your child’s homework folder.
- Homework Diaries – Weekly comment about behaviour, work or effort each week in the diary. Parents / Carers should discuss this with the child when the diary comes home on a Monday and then add your comment.
We are off to a super start in Primary 1, stay tuned to see some of our learning….
August – October 2026
So far this term, we have been meeting new friends and getting to know our classmates. We have taken time to learn everyone’s name and share some of our favourite games. I think our new class favourite is ‘tig’. We have been practising recognising and writing our names and we are having lots of fun developing our fine motor skills. We have enjoyed meeting our reading book characters and are even beginning to make and read some new words….what a super start! In maths, we have loved exploring 2D and 3D shapes and have been sorting shapes by their properties. We were amazing at finding shapes in our environment and became ‘shape hunters’ for the day! Have a look at some of our amazing achievements so far….
