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, Primary One have learnt all about harvesting. We had a good at harvesting potatoes, carrots and parsnips from the school vegetable patch.

Harvest is when you dig, chop and pick fruit and veg to be eaten – Kayla

We harvested carrots – Summer

We havested parsnips – Sarah.

We all thought that this was great fun and will be sharing our learning with the children in St Julian’s Primary School!

We also looked at different words we could use for the emotions happy, sad, angry and scared. We read the story of the Owl Babies to help us to come up with different words …

Summer – terrified is a another word for scared

Hannah – Cheerful is another word for happy

In maths, we have been impressing Miss Rodford with our number talks strageties and are getting really good at recognising 10 frame patterns. In sounds, we learnt the ‘o’ sound and have been starting to blend on our mouth part boards.

As it was International Language day on Monday, we learnt alittle bit about France and thier culture. We also enjoyed a super French lesson on Friday. We learnt how to count up to 10, to introduce ourselves and animal names!

Well done Primary 1
