Another Funfilled Week in P1/2

Leave a comment

Where to start!

This week we enjoyed some good weather and went outside for our daily mile.  The children walked well and showed good stamina.

In maths we have learned lots of different things.  We have been working on recognising and sorting the coins to £2.

We have been revising 2D shapes and have been thinking about their properties.

We have also been working hard on forming our numbers correctly and on sequencing the numbers in the right order.  We are getting better at this!

We are also working on reading and writing the number names and are beginning to be able to sound out some of the words.

As well as all this maths we were also working on our sounds.  We have begun using the colourful consonants mouth parts to spell out words and are continuing to practise forming our sounds correctly.

Keep up the good work Primary 1/2 and keep up the good growth mindset – keep thinking I can’t do it …….yet!!

Harvesting in P1/2

Leave a comment

This week in our topic work we were learning all about harvest.  We learned about the sequence of events that farmers go through to harvest their crops and even had a go at harvesting and digging up some vegetables from the vegetable patch in school.  It was great fun and we managed to harvest some very small carrots and some huge potatoes!  Miss Cambell helped us and she has offered to work with us next week to make some tasty vegetable soup.  We are really looking forward to this.  Thank you Miss Campbell.

If you child has come home with an application form please chat to them about why they want to represent the school.

Going batty in Primary One

Leave a comment

Primary one have been learning the sounds e, f and b in phonics.

b is a red sound because we make it with our lips – Kayla

e is black sound because we make a tunnel with our mouths – Jamie

We made some super bats which look very cute and  have also been working very hard to improve our handwriting!

In maths, we have been learning about different dot patterns and how to count carefully and slowly.  We also learnt about 2D shapes such as triangle, rectangle, square and circles. We have fun making super shape tractors and had to think about shapes we could use to build the picture.

Circles are round and they look like a wheel! – Jamie Watters

We loved it when the parents came in to see us at the PATPAL morning, we enjoyed showing the mums and dads around the class and having ago at different activities based on money.

Mrs Stewart also came to visit us and read us a super story !

Well done Primary One

This week for our topic we have looked at different styles of houses in the ares. Some houses don’t have stairs. We took a walk around the area and saw bungalows and attached houses. Some people have neighbours underneath them or above them.
We have continued our number talks looking at both adding and take away this week. We continue to use our friendly number strategies. We were lucky to have parents and grandparents in to visit us on our PATPAL morning. This was a chance for us (this kids) to teach adults how to add and subtract money.
Our emotion work cog this week looked at the triggers that start our emotions. We found out that for a few of us peas triggered the disgust emotion.
Please remember that parent’s evening is next week, on Wednesday and Thursday!
