Super work in Primary One!

This week, Primary have been learning a new skills in maths …. Subtraction. We have been using cubes to help us to take away!  In sounds, we have been learning the ng and w sounds! We have also been working on our blending skills by playing bingo and using the racing car tracks to blend the sounds together.

For our topic work we looked at what toys were made of. We felt and sorted different toys and discovered they were made of wood, plastic, metal, foam and fabric!

It was great to see some many parents at the Bool Bug Bag give away day for Scottish book week! We enjoyed sharing our favourite stories from the bag with our parents. We completed lots of different activities based on the stories!

Miss Rodford hopes you all have fun reading the Book Bug Bag stories at home.

Please feel free to leave us a comment about your favourite books and dont foregt to vote for your favourite story on the Scottish Book Trust website! My favourite is  ‘Shark in the Park’!

Well done Primary One

Busy Week in Primary One

Primary One have worked very hard this week on their adding skills !  We have been learning how to write addition sums!  We are getting very good at counting on!

We also were busy learning the r, l and ai sounds! We played a super game of vowel house bingo and are getting good at writing our vowel house sounds.

Super work in Primary 1

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!

If you have any comments about our learning please feel free to leave one!
