Miss Rodford has been very impressed this week with Primary One’s adding and blending skills!

In maths, we have been busy learning about the addition and equals symbol. We have been using dice to create our own addition sums! On Thursday, we enjoying going outdoors for a maths lesson on data handling. We created a super pictogram using colours of leaves. We discovered that the playground has mostly brown leaves in it!

In Literacy, we have been working hard on our blending and spelling of three letter words. Miss Rodford thinks we are getting much better!  In writing we read the story called ‘ Shark in the Park and we had to pretend that we were Timothy Pope and say what we could see in the park.  We thought of and wrote some super sentences using  captial letters, full stops and finger spaces!

We have started to practise for our Nativity performance and songs! If you have any words please remember to practise them at home! Well done Primary One!

The highlight of our week was the multi-sports festival at James Young High School. We tried badminton, rugby, basketball, football and a mini assault course and we loved all of the activities. It was great to try so many new skills!
